One of your pretty hairs fell out last night
A piece of your little life gone without sight
Words I could never say come to me now
I’m screaming my lungs away yet make no sound
Yet make no sound at all

So be brave like you’ve got nothing to say
Those star eyes are only one step away
You sit and wait for me all day
Just walk away “walk away”
Just walk away

I stand here in empty shoes silhouette state
I plead you to see them filled with your soul mate
To see your tears it kills me still over again
The longing to hold your hands to fight your pain
To fight your pain away

So be brave like you’ve got nothing to say
Those star eyes are only one step away
You sit and wait for me all day
Just walk away “walk away”
Just walk away

I know that you’re missing me but the time has come to
Find yourself less misery
The memories will not change, gotta think about tomorrow
Though it might feel strange, “feel strange”

So be brave like you’ve got nothing to say
Those star eyes are only one step away
You sit and wait for me all day
Just walk away “walk away”
Just walk away

So be brave like you’ve got nothing to say
Those star eyes are only one step away
You sit and wait for me all day
Just walk away “walk away”
Just walk away

Just walk away

    This song means the world and more to me. (Shelby) This is kind of my interpretation/meaning of the song to me.

    My favourite lyrics in this song are;- ''Words I could never say, come to me now, I'm screaming my lungs away, yet make no sound, yet make no sound at all. So be brave, like you've got nothing to say, those star eyes are only one step away, you sit and wait for me all day, just walkaway, walkaway.''

    I like the first part because In school I was bullied quite alot, it reminds me of how I just let things carry on, and did nothing about it, And the second part, means quite alot to because it to me says, so alot of things are happening, unless you do something about it, nothing will change, and also, when you REALLY want to stand up and say something, but you don't, The last part - you sit and wait for me all day, just walk away, walk away, means to me- you sit there waiting for something to happen, even though it's pretty pointless, but you can't actually walk away, because of something stopping you. It reminds me of giving up on things, but then, when I listen to this song, it brings back good memories, so it really helps me when I'm upset. I love Roy's voice, because he has a really soft tone when he sings walk away, it's just beautiful. I love it.

    This song is the one i can realte to the most. (Beth)

    The lyrics that mean the most to me are : "I know that your missing me, but the time has come to find yourself less misery. The memories will not fade got to think about tomorrow, although it might feel strange"

    I can relate to these lyrics because i have lost people in my family who i loved dearly and it was very hard to say goodbye. I used to cry myself to sleep at night because i missed them so much. But these lyrics tell me that although your missing someone you have to try and still be happy and think about the future. And that the memories you share with that person will never fade. I can listen to this song when i am upset or happy. The lyrics are just beatiful.

    I can really relate to this song the words that mean the most to me are "So be brave like you've got nothing to say" which has helped me recently when i found out my mum has cancer and these lyrics explain my feelings as I have to be brave about the situation and look on the positive side. This song also helped me when my dad was going through leukaemia. So I just want to thank you for having such a song I can relate to this has helped me get through a hard thing and has helped me stay positive with your song. Just listening to this song helps me more than you could ever know I cant thank you enough.

    I wanted to write this comment so you know how a bad situation can be looked at positively and you have helped me get through this through your lyrics and whenever I am feeling down I can just listen to Walk Away and it helps me be brave :)

    You guys are an inspiration :) Faye x

    -Hi Everyone.. Shelby here!

    Just updating the song pages, because it's been quite a while. So basically, if anyone still logs on for the comments, tell your friends, check out their youtube channel - myforeverofficial and drop a comment on here!

    Anyway, here's my updated meaning to Walk Away, I have listened to this quite a lot a lately, because when i listen to songs, I feel a connection with the tone it's sang in, if that makes sense to anyone? & I love how Roy sings 'So be brave, like you've got nothing to say' and then I also like the repetition of 'Just Walk Away' the softness of his voice, it's just beautiful. I also think of the song as letting go of something, that has been bothering you, in my case, the past, but it depends how you interpret it.

    ''I know that you’re missing me but the time has come to Find yourself less misery The memories will not change, gotta think about tomorrow Though it might feel strange, “feel strange” especially reminds me of forgetting the past and moving on, it to me is saying, although times are changing, your friends are moving on, you still have the memories, and they'll not be forgotten, even though it's weird to move on.

    This song really inspires me, and it has helped me through a lot of stuff, music to me is so important, and My Forever, and this song especially just emphasize how important music actually is. I have so much love for My Forever!<3

Fortnight
Taylor Swift
The song &quot;Fortnight&quot; by Taylor Swift and Post Malone tells a story about strong feelings, complicated relationships, and secret wishes. It talks about love, betrayal, and wanting someone who doesn&#39;t feel the same. The word &quot;fortnight&quot; shows short-lived happiness and guilty pleasures, leading to sadness. It shows how messy relationships can be and the results of hiding emotions. “I was supposed to be sent away / But they forgot to come and get me,” she kickstarts the song in the first verse with lines suggesting an admission to a hospital for people with mental illnesses. She goes in the verse admitting her lover is the reason why she is like this. In the chorus, she sings about their time in love and reflects on how he has now settled with someone else. “I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary / And I love you, it’s ruining my life,” on the second verse she details her struggles to forget about him and the negative effects of her failure. “Thought of callin’ ya, but you won’t pick up / ‘Nother fortnight lost in America,” Post Malone sings in the outro.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
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.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head &gt; Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.
