Stay Away from Me
Echoes of Unheard Desires: The Living End's 'Stay Away from Me'
Lyrics
I call your name
I am reaching out to you by calling your name.
I saw your face
I have seen your expression or demeanor.
You didn't turn around
You ignored me; you didn't turn around.
I never heard it
I am not aware of your response or acknowledgment.
You're taking the lead
You are leading the way in causing harm to myself.
In my self destruction
I am self-destructing, and you play a significant role in it.
When you call my name
When you call my name, I remain oblivious to it.
I never heard it
I am not attuned to your attempts to communicate.
I waste away my time
I am wasting my time.
I take another line
I am consuming substances (possibly drugs).
In my poor sorry mind
Within my troubled mind, I contemplate my mistakes.
I think of what I took from you
I reflect on the things I have taken away from you.
But you can't stay away from me
Despite everything, you cannot stay away from me.
OOO what I need is you
I express a desire or need for you.
But I just can't stand it
Despite needing you, I find it intolerable.
OOO what I need is you
I emphasize the need for you again.
But I can't face the fact that you know me
I struggle to accept that you truly understand me.
I call your name
I call your name again.
I saw you face
I see your face once more.
Telling me to stay
You advise me to stay, but I don't hear it.
I never heard it
I remain oblivious to your instructions.
I can't help thinking
I suspect that those around me don't understand what I'm saying.
That everyone 'round me
I feel that people in my surroundings are not attentive to me.
Can't hear what I say
They are unable to hear or comprehend my words.
They never heard it
My attempts at communication go unnoticed.
I waste away my time
I continue to waste my time.
I take another line
I indulge in another line, possibly referring to drug use.
In my poor sorry mind
In my troubled mind, I reflect on my mistakes again.
I think of what I took from you
I ponder on what I have taken from you once more.
But you can't stay away from me
Despite everything, you cannot stay away from me.
OOO what I need is you
I express a desire or need for you again.
But I just can't stand it
Despite needing you, I find it intolerable once more.
OOO what I need is you
I emphasize the need for you again.
But I can't face the fact that you know me
I struggle to accept that you truly understand me once more.
I waste away my time
I continue to waste my time.
I take another line
I indulge in another line, possibly referring to drug use.
In my poor sorry mind
In my troubled mind, I reflect on my mistakes again.
I think of what I took from you
I ponder on what I have taken from you once more.
But you can't stay away from me
Despite everything, you cannot stay away from me.
OOO what I need is you
I express a desire or need for you again.
But I just can't stand it
Despite needing you, I find it intolerable once more.
OOO what I need is you
I emphasize the need for you again.
But I can't face the fact that you know me
I struggle to accept that you truly understand me once more.
