Very moving and intense song; the lyrics are pretty straight forward... but for some reason it always reminds me of Viserys Targaryen in Game of Thrones *facepalm* I'm a nerd. |

| Five Finger Death Punch – Walk Away Lyrics | 13 years ago |
| Feels like this is about a relationship that has been unhealthy and mutually abusive from the beginning, and now it's gotten too toxic for either of them to handle, and they both want to "walk away" and "pretend that none of this was real" but they can't. They are both at fault in the relationship. He has changed as a person and become crueler and crueler to her, and she is a hypocrite who always puts him down and blames him for her problems. They shouldn't be together, but each of them keeps hanging on, waiting for the other to leave. | |

Well, the band interpretation is obviously the trump-all, but whenever I hear this song, I think of a couple affected by depression or another mental disorder. The woman is struggling with depression, and the man wants to help her but feels he cannot. I've had bouts with mild depression and anxiety, and there are nights when I can't sleep at all and "days I can't even dress myself," and my loved ones always feel so terrible for me and try to comfort me, but ultimately they can't and they feel helpless. That's what I think of the line "It's killing me to see you this way." So, yes, that's what this song means to me. And by the way, I don't mean to sound like such a downer; I am for the most part a happy person who sometimes has a few mental battles to fight :) |

I agree with a lot of the interpretations here--abortion, pseudo-masichism, etc. I'm also fairly certain that the second verse of the song is mostly about Nurse Ratched in "One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest." For those who don't know, Ratched was the cruel, manipulative head nurse in the novel's hospital who used electroshock therapy, water therapy, and lobotomy to torture and control patients instead of as *actual* therapy. Why I think this: "Matron droid milking the cogs"--Nurse Ratched put on a matronly (motherly) facade, and I believe this exact word is used in the books. The main character (a scizofrenic) hallucinated that there were cogs and machinery all over the institution, and that Ratched controlled them. This is a metaphor for her manipulation of the patients, nurses, and doctors in the hospital. "Hatred welds them back again"--may refer to Ratched's lackeys--for lack of a better word--the Black Boys. The main character describes how Ratched manipulates the Black Boys' hate to be used against the paitents. "Beating dead hearts through a glassy cage"--May refer to the broken-spirited patients "caged" in the hospital. "Voice of dog barking the hoax"--may refer to McMurphy, a new patient who sees through Ratched and tries to get the other patients to stand up to her. "Brain dead machine drives the corpse"--A patient after a lobotomy, literally brain-dead and somewhat robotic. Most likely refers to McMurphy after his lobotomy. Anyway, that's what I think. Sorry that was craptastically long. |
