He describes a new relationship in which there are still many uncertainties, questioning “do you like all my friends?” and “is that too much or forcin?”.
The upbeat, undulating melody combined with Apollo’s melancholic lyrics creates a rhythmical and yet bittersweet song.
Go Away
omar apollo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Body glows like gold
Beatin' hearts locked close
Without you, time moves slow
Do you think that I could stay?
'Cause if I leave, then I'll complain
I know this feeling's not a crime
You said you feel it all the time
But if you had to go away again
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
It's somethin' in the way I feel your skin
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
If you saw me every mornin', would you feel less important?
Is that too much of forcin'?
'Cause I don't wanna be much
I love the way that we touch
Do you like all of my friends? Yeah, I want your attention
Before you never mentioned
That you got time here to stay
Is that too much for your brain?
But if you had to go away again
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
It's somethin' in the way I feel your skin
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
But if you had to go away again
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
But if you had to go away again
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
It's somethin' in the way I feel your skin
I just don't see you enough
I wish I saw you enough
In this song, Omar Apollo talks about the complex feelings of a long-distance relationship. He starts by talking about his significant other's importance in his life, comparing them to royalty ("You can take the throne"), their body shining like gold and their hearts beating together. He then laments the difficulty of being apart from this person, saying that time seems to move slowly when they are not together and wondering if he could continue staying without them. He acknowledges that this feeling of missing someone is not a crime, but something that they both experience. However, he fears that if they were to part ways again, he wouldn't be able to handle it, as he just doesn't see them enough- emphasizing the distance they face.
The chorus reflects these fears and wishes of seeing his significant other more. He loves the way they touch and how they connect skin to skin, but he just doesn't see them enough. He wonders if seeing them every day would make them feel less important and if he's forcing himself to want them more. He wants their attention and tells them that he has time here to stay, but also wonders if that's too much for their brain to handle.
Overall, the song portrays the difficulties of maintaining a long-distance relationship, even when both parties know how important they are to each other. It highlights the struggles of missing someone, feeling incomplete without them and the desire to be together more.
