Away From Me Lyrics

Cover art for Away From Me lyrics by Evanescence

Someone is tired of life. They smile to the world to hide their unhappiness as inside they die. They feel hurt and betrayed by others. They think low of themselves.

They gain realisation of what they're doing. They feel trapped by what they've built. They long to be lost in someone (God/a good friend/lover). They want to be saved from themselves.

They struggle in the world and they suffer. They reflect on themselves for guidance but they find they have been changed by their experiences. They dislike what they are.

They feel empty and they're looking to fill this void. They're tired of being the way they are.

Trivia: "Away From Me" is spoken in the English Bible.

In short. Someone feels lost, hollow and damaged as a result of other people. They are seeking help/salvation from someone who can save them.
