Turn Away
Wet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a warning
Close my eyes so I won't see what I've done wrong
Turn away, turn away when you need me more, more
Regrets creep in, what have I done?
Oh, but you were leavin'
You were always, you were always leavin'
You come back to me believin'
So why'd you say nothing at all?
You leave me to figure out what went wrong
Goin' on and on 'bout nothing at all
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
Do you know how many times I've been you?
Been you
To someone who cares half as much as I do
And I do
Turn away, turn away, turn away when I need to
I needed to
Take one wrong step for I'm back to you
But all at once it comes back to me
You were always, you were always leavin'
Now I'm gone, you come back
You come back to me believing
So why'd you say nothing at all?
You leave me to figure out what went wrong
Goin' on and on 'bout nothing at all
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
And honestly, if I'm going off
We'll work through this just to write a song
Goin' on and on about nothin' at all
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
So honestly, if there's nothin' wrong
We worked it out just to write a song
Goin' on and on 'bout nothing at all
You turn away, turn away when I need you more
The lyrics of Wet's song "Turn Away" depict a complicated relationship dynamic and the emotions that arise from it. The opening lines, "First light, new skin, bring amber dawn, Like a warning, Close my eyes so I won't see what I've done wrong," suggest a sense of regret and guilt. The singer is turning away, both literally and metaphorically, in order to avoid confronting their mistakes. However, they acknowledge that they are needed more by their partner, indicating a sense of abandonment.
The chorus emphasizes the theme of leaving, with the lines "You were always, you were always leaving, Now I'm gone, you come back, You come back to me believing." Here, the singer reflects on the recurring pattern of their partner leaving and then returning, only to be believed and trusted again. There is a feeling of frustration and confusion about their partner's lack of communication and inability to address the issues that have caused their relationship to falter.
The second verse shifts the perspective, with the singer expressing their own experience of being in a similar situation before. They question why their partner doesn't speak up and instead leaves them to figure out what went wrong. The repetition of "Turn away, turn away when I need you more" highlights the pain of being neglected and unsupported by someone they care about deeply.
Towards the end, there is a plea for honesty and a desire to work through the challenges, even if it means going in circles. The lines "So honestly, if there's nothin' wrong, We worked it out just to write a song, Goin' on and on 'bout nothing at all, You turn away, turn away when I need you more" convey a bittersweet longing for connection and understanding.
Overall, "Turn Away" explores themes of regret, abandonment, and the complex dynamics of a strained relationship. It delves into the frustrations that arise when communication breaks down and the longing for love and support.
Line by Line Meaning
First light, new skin, bring amber dawn
A fresh start, a new beginning, a glimmer of hope
Like a warning
A subtle indication of impending trouble
Close my eyes so I won't see what I've done wrong
Avoiding confronting my mistakes and the guilt associated with them
Turn away, turn away when you need me more, more
Choosing to distance myself when you require my support the most
Regrets creep in, what have I done?
Feelings of remorse gradually overwhelm me
Oh, but you were leavin'
You were always preparing to leave, despite my actions
You were always, you were always leavin'
Your tendency to depart was constant
Now I'm gone, you come back
Now that I'm absent, you return
You come back to me believin'
You come back with faith in our relationship
So why'd you say nothing at all?
Why did you choose silence instead of communication?
You leave me to figure out what went wrong
You abandon me to decipher the cause of our issues
Goin' on and on 'bout nothing at all
Endlessly discussing trivial matters
Turn away, turn away when I need you more
Retreating when I require your presence and support
Do you know how many times I've been you?
Have you ever experienced the same feelings and situations as me?
Been you
Being in your shoes
To someone who cares half as much as I do
To someone who is only half as invested in the relationship as I am
And I do
And I truly care
Turn away, turn away, turn away when I need to
Turning my back, avoiding facing my emotions when necessary
I needed to
It was essential for my own well-being
Take one wrong step for I'm back to you
A single misstep brings me right back to you
But all at once, it comes back to me
Suddenly, everything returns to my awareness
And honestly, if I'm going off
And truthfully, if I'm being emotional and irrational
We'll work through this just to write a song
We'll overcome our issues solely to create art
So honestly, if there's nothin' wrong
So truthfully, if there are no problems
We worked it out just to write a song
We resolved our conflicts solely for the sake of composing music
You turn away, turn away when I need you more
You turn your back on me when I require your support the most

i love them so much. they are so talented and deserve so much recognition, but i want wet to stay one of my special bands.
Lorenzo xx
xung hanna NO! They deserve greatness! I'm fucking tired of reading stuff like "I wish they remain my little secret forever". I think that's kind of cruel. They're good, and talented - a bit of success won't damage the quality of their music. Stop wishing your "favourite" artist to remain unrecognized, underground musicians, please. I'm begging you.
xung hanna
+Lorenzo xx i completely understand where youre coming from, but its always great for them to be successful but also yours. i suppose its just what people feel who are proud of a band that is 'theirs'
M B
well some bands are perfectly fine with not being worldwide recognized. some may prefer to be recognized in their own scene. Like they can be recognized musicians in the underground scene. it just really depends on the bands goals and values I guess.

xung hanna omg saaaaammmmeeee

This one is intense. It drills into my chest, soaking it. Im so glad they put out new songs!!! I love this band!
