Away
Votum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
- E. von Salomon
"Away," she says, "out of this place
Everything's better than here and now",
Tired of endlessly trying to prove
That she could cope with what gets her down.
And dreams of outer space, whispering
"I don't want to be here anymore"
And the fields of green disappear, her eyes shut.
Somewhere, somewhere
There's a secret garden where they won't find us
Somewhere, somewhere
There's a secret garden where we belong
I understand, I feel this too,
And sometimes I want out, but prowl up this river somehow
Try to face the fear under your skin
Of how long can you fight,
Knowing that all you get is the sense of losing?
She runs, she runs, she runs ...
The first verse of Votum's song "Away" describes a person who is at the end of their rope. They have been worn down by life and feel that all that is left of them is a "heap of flesh" with their nerves exposed. The person is so sensitive that they feel every melody that is played as if they were strings. They are alone and feeling the weight of that loneliness. The second verse shifts to an individual who is tired of trying to cope with the challenges of life. They dream of escaping to somewhere else and finding a secret garden where they can belong. This person understands the struggles that the first verse character is facing, and perhaps they too have felt like they are at the end of their rope. They offer empathy and support to the first character, acknowledging the challenge of fighting to survive each day.
The chorus of the song is a plea for a safe and secret space where those who are struggling can belong. The idea of a "secret garden" is a metaphorical representation of this space, where people can escape to feel safe and accepted. The final line of the second verse describes a person who tries to face their fears but wonders how long they can keep fighting. The final lines of the song describe this person running, perhaps in an attempt to escape their pain and find a way to survive.
