Away
Zeal & Brainwash Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I often feel this way
If I'm away from home
The sun shines, warming days
But, I miss the days more cold

I know
I'll be where the sun doesn't have to be so hard
To bring me down

And maybe seeing the snow coming down

The wind over the mountains
Easily shivers me
Then freezes water fountains
Time will let me see

I know
I'll be where the sun doesn't have to be so hard
To bring me down
And maybe seeing the snow coming down

The stars will guide my way
To where I want to be
My heart has faith
In this freezing beat

Footprints in the sand

I will seek the sun
If I want to go back

I often feel this way
I frequently experience this emotion

If I'm away from home
When I'm not in my place of origin

The bright yellow star illuminates and heats the earth

However, I long for the days when the temperature was lower

I know
I am aware

I'll be where the sun doesn't have to be so hard
I will relocate to a region where the sun is not as harsh

Possibly observing snowflakes descending from the sky

The gusts blowing over the peaks
