Get Away
Emotional Escape: Franz Ferdinand's Evocative Reflections
Lyrics
Get away from me
Expressing a desire for distance or separation
You don't have to stay so long at all
Suggesting the person is not required to linger for an extended period
Get away from me
Reiterating the wish for the person to leave
I keep crying your name, cut off from me
Mentioning emotional pain caused by the separation, possibly indicating longing
Get away from me
Repeated emphasis on the need for distance
Your skin and bone, believe me, leave me
Describing the person as just flesh and bones, urging them to believe and depart
Get away from me
Repeating the plea for the person to go away
She doesn't stumble, she falls right off her feet
Describing someone who remains composed despite challenges
You think i'm a doll
Addressing a perception of being treated as an object
When you scribble on my face
Referring to a disrespectful act of drawing on the speaker's face
You try to poke my eyes out
Highlighting an attempt to harm or disable the speaker
Pursued as a god
Suggesting pursuit or admiration as a god-like figure
I'm hard to replace
Expressing uniqueness that is challenging to replace
As you cry your evil eyes out
Describing emotional distress and tears from the eyes
You twist your pretty face
Depicting a distorted or twisted facial expression during emotional distress
As you cry your evil eyes out
Repeating the imagery of crying eyes and a twisted face
You cry; yes, you cry
Emphasizing the act of crying and the negative nature of the tears
You cry your evil eyes out
Reiteration of crying eyes with an emphasis on their negative nature
Get away from me
Repeating the plea to distance oneself
I can't feel her loose hand on my face
Describing a sensation of not feeling the touch of a loose hand on the face
Get away from me
Reiterating the desire for separation and expressing a prolonged struggle
I been at it since I don't know when, I say
Indicating a duration of engagement without specific clarity
Get away from me
Repeating the plea to get away with a reflection on the struggle to be and lose
To be, how to lose
Expressing the difficulty of understanding how to lose
Get away from me
Reiterating the plea for the person to leave
I see your red hue get away from me
Observing a change in color and urging the person to depart
