Away
Wakey!Wakey! Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Close our eyes and wait til this thing passes through
Put on our favorite shirts, pretend we don't hurt
And go out the way that we used to do...
But it's all gone away and it's all on me.
It's all gone away since the doldrum days came...
Get down on my knees and say all of the things
You wanted to hear when you walked out on me
When you knocked on the door and I let you back in
But the windows are blacked
And the baseboards are cracked
The roof's caving in, and your not coming back
The lyrics to Wakey!Wakey!'s song Away paint a picture of two people lying in a gutter, seeking refuge from the hardships of life. They close their eyes and wait for the storm to pass through. The singer wants to put on their favorite shirts and pretend like they don't hurt, to relive happier times. However, things have changed, and the person singing blames themselves for the situation they find themselves in. They can't escape from the doldrums that have taken over their life. The singer wishes they could turn back time and say all the right things to the person who walked out on them. They want to forget their mistakes and start anew, but reality sets in when they realize that everything around them is falling apart, and the person they yearn for won't be coming back.
The song Away is a powerful piece that captures the essence of heartbreak and the desperate desire to hold on to what is lost. The lyrics are pensive and melancholy, building up to a dramatic climax in the last verse. The singer's voice is emotive and raw, conveying the intense emotional turmoil that they are experiencing. The song captures the fear and despair that people feel when they realize that they can't hold on to the things they cherish forever. It is a poignant reminder that even the most beautiful things in life can be fleeting.

I want to lie in this gutter with you
I want to be with you no matter how bad things get
Close our eyes and wait til this thing passes through
Let's wait for this hard moment to pass together
Put on our favorite shirts, pretend we don't hurt
We'll put on a brave face and act like everything is okay
And go out the way that we used to do...
Let's go out and enjoy life like we used to before things got tough
But it's all gone away and it's all on me.
Everything we had is gone, and I blame myself
It's all gone away since the doldrum days came...
Our happiness vanished when we fell into a period of sadness
Get down on my knees and say all of the things
I'll apologize and say all the right things to try and win you back
You wanted to hear when you walked out on me
Everything you said you needed to hear when you left me
Forget all our sins and just let it begin
Let's forget about our past mistakes and start fresh
When you knocked on the door and I let you back in
When you came back into my life
But the windows are blacked
The light has gone out of our lives
And the baseboards are cracked
Things are falling apart
The roof's caving in, and your not coming back
Everything is falling apart, and you're not coming back to help me fix it
