Away
idesia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Started with adorning
Sleepy eyes ‘till five in the morning
Holding hands in the autumn, fall, spring, leaves when I sought them
Recklessness, restlessness, empty bliss
Can't fill the void with no necklaces
Only level headed never glancing down
We could go down quick, hopes are counterfeit
Did you find what you wanted?
Never cry if you want it
Lay low subdued, live life confused

You know
Take me slow
Wake me up when I'm away
Who knows
Fake it slow
Take me up when I'm away

Leaning on indecision
To make a decision to escape
Bright eyes sometimes shaded with cloudy vision
Your presence was a present wrapped in the essence of adolescence
Young, fleeting, feelings, linger
Young, fleeting, feelings, go figure
Slowly it's embedded, beck and call me down
Only for a minute, that's all I've got now
Did you find what you wanted?
Never cry if you want it
Old past cut loose
Live life confused

You know
Take me slow
Wake me up when I'm away
Who knows




Fake it slow
Take me up when I'm away

Overall Meaning

In the first stanza, the song talks about a relationship that began with adoration and holding hands as they wandered through the changing seasons. However, the relationship is plagued with recklessness and restlessness, with an empty void that nothing, not even material possessions or accessories, can fill. Despite this, the singer strives to stay level-headed and not look down, but they acknowledge that things could spiral downwards quickly with counterfeit hopes. The stanza ends with a question about whether the other person found what they wanted, and a reminder not to cry if they did not. The last line talks about living life, but being confused about how to do so.


In the second stanza, the singer talks about leaning on indecision and wanting to escape, with bright eyes that are sometimes clouded with uncertainty. The other person's presence was like a gift, wrapped in youthful feelings of adolescence that can linger and disappear quickly. While the feeling may be fleeting, it is also deeply embedded and beckons the singer down, even if only for a moment. The stanza once again ends with a question about finding what one wants and a reminder not to cry if they did not. The final line of the stanza talks about letting go of the past to live life, even if it means being confused.


Overall, the song seems to talk about a relationship that begins with love and admiration but is also plagued with confusion and restlessness, with no clear answer about what the future holds. The singer seems to be urging the other person, and potentially themselves, to take things slow and fake it till they make it, even if they do not know what they want.
