Getaway
Escape the Chains of Life with Earth, Wind & Fire's 'Getaway'
Lyrics
Get away
Expressing the desire to escape or take a break
Let's leave today
Suggesting an immediate departure
Let's get away
Reiterating the desire to get away
So you say you've tried, but just can't find the pleasure
Acknowledging attempts to find joy but facing pressure
People around you are giving you pressure
People around are causing stress or influence
Try to resist, all the hurt that's all around you
Encouraging resistance to the negativity surrounding
If you taste it, it will haunt you
Warning that succumbing to negativity will have lasting effects
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land
Inviting someone to join in escaping difficulties
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Expressing confidence in the possibility of getting away
Get away (yeah)
Repeating the call to get away with emphasis
Let's leave today
Reiterating the suggestion to leave immediately
Let's get away (what ya, what ya, what ya, what ya know?)
Repeating the idea of getting away with added emphasis
What ya, what ya, what ya, what ya know?
Prompting consideration of knowledge or awareness
Watch for the signs, they lead in the right direction
Advising to pay attention to signs guiding in the right direction
Not to heed them is a bad reflection
Warning that ignoring signs reflects poorly
They'll show you the way to what you have been seeking
Signs will lead to what one has been seeking
To ignore them, you're only cheating
Discouraging the act of ignoring signs
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land (you betta come)
Encouraging to take action and escape challenges
Why don't you get away? Get away (oh yeah)
Questioning why one hasn't gotten away yet
Lay awake at night till the sun comes up in the morning
Describing restlessness and boredom at night
Never excited, it all seemed boring
Life seems dull and lacking excitement
Make up your mind which way to go about it
Encouraging decision-making on the path to take
Choose your road, just don't doubt it
Emphasizing the importance of choosing without doubt
So come, take me by the hand, we'll leave this troubled land (you betta come)
Reiterating the call to escape challenges
I know we can, I know we can, I know we can, I know we can
Expressing confidence in the ability to get away
Get away (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya)
Prompting action to escape difficulties
Let's leave today (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya go?)
Repeating the suggestion to leave today
Let's get away (would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya)
Re-emphasizing the idea of getting away
Let's leave today
Reiterating the immediate need to leave
Let's get away
Expressing the urgency to get away
Let's get away
Repeating the desire to escape
Let's leave today
Reiterating the suggestion to leave today
Let's get away
Emphasizing the need to get away
Get away, leave today
Repeating the call to get away and leave immediately
Get away, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah
Adding excitement and emphasis to the idea of escape
Get away, leave today
Repeating the urgency to leave today with added emphasis
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, ooh
Concluding with excitement and encouragement to escape
