Away From Me Lyrics

Look at me now
Just sittin here by myself
And I think you found someone else
Now I'm gonna have to find
A way to put the bottle down
And why can’t you see
That I’m drowning in a pool of misery

I’m always afraid
That you’re gone
Away from me
I’m always afraid
That you’re lost in somebody
I’m always afraid
That you’re gone
Away from me
I’m always afraid
That you’re lost

So here I am
I don't wanna be by myself
And I think you’re fucking someone else
now im gonna have to find a way
To take the knife out of my back
And how could you leave me
Stranded in a closet full of bones

I’m always afraid
That you’re gone
Away from me
I’m always afraid
That you’re lost in somebody
I’m always afraid
That you’re gone
Away from me
I’m always afraid
That you’re lost

Maybe you could let me stay
Maybe just for one more day
You could help me stay the same
Maybe things won’t ever change
Maybe we could taste the rain
You could push me out the way

Now I sit here by myself
Think about somebody else
How could you let them take you away from me
There’s somebody else
There’s somebody else!

I’m always afraid
That you’re gone
Away from me
I’m always afraid
That you’re lost in somebody
I’m always afraid
That you’re gone
Away from me
I’m always afraid
That you’re fucking

I’m always afraid [x7]

My interpretation of this. These might be thoughts a lot of rockstars commonly have, while touring on the road, when they've got a s.o. back at home. Just airing his insecurities, that he has no way of verifying or disproving for himself while he's far away. Maybe conversations with her, maybe sounding a little off, maybe he's reading into it too much. He's convinced she must be cheating, and now he's losing his mind with what he's already convinced himself of. The line I don't get is the how could you let them take you away from me. But I'm guessing maybe her friends are on board with the guy she's cheating with. Again, probably all entirely his insecure thoughts he's airing out, whether he's right about it or not.

My Opinion
Negative
Subjective
Fear
Insecurity
Infidelity
Paranoia

This reminds me of my boyfriend, but I think I am paranoid, but it reminds me of how I feel. It's kinda a long distance relationship, so I am always afraid that he has found someone else and just won't tell me... I dunno... =(

"A way to put the bottle down And why can’t you see That I’m drowning in a pool of misery" Wes is drinking away his problems.

"I’m always afraid That you’re lost in somebody " He's afraid his girl fell in love with someone else.

The one thing that I'm unsure about is "How could you let them take you away from me " because this is saying that there is more than one person who's luring her away from Wes.

this is actually an ok song but does he want to try and look/sound a bit more like kurt cobain in this film clip?

This is one song that any pissed teenager might play to relieve his anger...A guy my age might go for something for intellegent and artsy. For being literalists, these guys can cut to the heart of the matter. This is not my favorite song by them, but its better than emo shit.

His woman dumped him, and now he's resorting to drinking and/or drugs to ease his pain. He thought he had something good going until the dumb bitch cheated on him. He really needed her and now he doesnt know what to do with himself. I know this feeling well.

this is probably one of the best songs on the radio as of late

i think this song is the only good song on their "life on diplay"cd.

I think its about a man being paranoid about this girl he loves, but one day what he was dreeding actually comes true and actually not mad because he saw it coming.
