Away
subdominant Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like me...
She prays to the sky.
We smile when the stars shine,
But unlike me...
She's one of a kind.
She said, if god needed a friend,
He'd take her away.
Don't ask me why?
But one day...
Her wishing star died.
Now all night i cry,
Cause her soul...
It lies over the sky.
She said, that god needed a friend
And took her away.
And took her away.
She said, that god needed a friend
And took her away.
Breakdown/solo/chorus
The lyrics of "Away" by Subdominant depict a story of a girl who is different from the singer of the song. The girl prays to the sky and they both smile when the stars shine, but she is unique and one of a kind, unlike the singer. However, one day, the girl's wishing star dies, and she passes away. The singer cries all night because the girl's soul now lies over the sky. The girl had previously said that if God needed a friend, He would take her away, and that's exactly what happened.
The song seems to be about the loss of a loved one and the pain and sadness that come with it. The lyrics suggest that the girl had a special connection with the divine, as she prayed to the sky and talked about God needing a friend. The idea of the girl's soul now residing over the sky gives the impression that she has found peace and has gone to a better place. The breakdown and solo in the song perhaps represent the emotions and turmoil that the singer is going through.
