This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
(Away from here away from here)
(Away from you)
(Stay for me stay for me)
Baby, I'm really sorry
To break your dream
When it's so early
Headlights
On the windowpane
They're getting lost
In the light of day
Tomorrow is today
And soon my ship will sail
Away from here
To walk a howling sea lane
Stay for me
Your love is life
For love is land
Baby, just hear my story
Before I leave
Before we write the end
Standing across the ocean stream
I'll need to know
I'll need your country then.
Tomorrow and today
You keep my landfall safe
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
Your love is life, for love is land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
Your love is life, for love is land
Love is land
Love is land
Love is land
Love is land
(Away from you)
(Stay for me stay for me)
Baby, I'm really sorry
To break your dream
When it's so early
Headlights
On the windowpane
They're getting lost
In the light of day
Tomorrow is today
And soon my ship will sail
Away from here
To walk a howling sea lane
Stay for me
Your love is life
For love is land
Baby, just hear my story
Before I leave
Before we write the end
Standing across the ocean stream
I'll need to know
I'll need your country then.
Tomorrow and today
You keep my landfall safe
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
Your love is life, for love is land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
I need your love to land
Away from here (away from here)
To walk a howling sea lane (away from you)
Stay for me (stay for me)
Your love is life, for love is land
Love is land
Love is land
Love is land
Love is land

The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
