Escaping Love's Echo: About Time's Mountainside Blues
Lyrics
Oh, I don't wanna stop your embrace
The singer doesn't want to end the embrace or physical closeness.
But I'm getting sick of your taste
The singer is tired or weary of experiencing something unpleasant related to the person.
I have to get away I have to get away
Feeling the need to escape or distance oneself from the situation or person.
Woah
An exclamation or emphasis to express strong emotions.
We laugh and we cry
The relationship involves both joy and sorrow.
And you can't tell a lie
Signifying honesty or the inability of the person to deceive.
You know it always sounds like
The person's voice or expression always resembles "mama" in some way.
Mama mama mama mama mama
Repetition of "mama" possibly indicating a familiar or repetitive feeling or expression.
But when you walk away
When the person leaves, the singer finds it difficult to look back or reconsider.
I just can't turn around
The singer is fixated on the person even when they depart.
Oh, I can't get you out of my head
The person remains in the singer's thoughts persistently.
Running circles round with no end
Feeling stuck or going around in circles without progress.
Gotta keep on movin' I gotta keep movin'
Emphasizing the need to keep moving forward despite feeling trapped or stagnant.
Woah
Emphasizing strong emotions or feelings.
We laugh and we cry
Reiteration of experiencing both happiness and sadness in the relationship.
And you can't tell a lie
Reaffirming the honesty or truthfulness of the person.
You know it always sounds like
The repeated sound or expression from the person resembling "mama."
Mama mama mama mama mama
Continued repetition of the "mama" sound, reinforcing its presence in the singer's experience.
But when you walk away
Similar to line 9, feeling unable to turn back or reconsider once the person leaves.
I just can't turn around
Continued fixation on the departing person despite difficulty in moving on.
Hey hey
An expression used to get someone's attention or emphasize a point.
Hey yeah hey yeah
A vocalization or exclamation to express emotions or capture attention.
Hey yeah
A repeated exclamation or vocalization conveying emotions.
But when you walk away
Similar to lines 9 and 19, struggling to turn back or reconsider once the person has departed.
I just can't turn around
Continued fixation on the departing person despite the difficulty in moving on, echoing previous sentiments.
Yeah
A final affirmation of the inability to easily turn away from the person who leaves.
