What do you do when you know something's bad for you
And you still can't let go?
I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet
I was deceived by the wrapping
Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed
I was prey in your bed
And devoured completely
And it hurts my soul
Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
'Cause I, I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I should have known
I was used for amusement
Couldn't see through the smoke
It was all an illusion
Now I've been licking my wounds (licking my wounds)
But the venom seeps deeper(deeper, deeper)
We both can seduce
But darling you hold me prisoner (prisoner)
I'm about to break
I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this slow burn
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Every time I try to grasp for air
I get smothered in despair, it's never over, over
Seems I'll never wake from this nightmare,
I let out a silent prayer
Let it be over, over
Inside I'm screaming
Begging, pleading
No more
I don't know what to do
My heart has been bruised
So sad but it's true
Each beat reminds me of you
It hurts my soul
'Cause I can't let go
All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control
Cause I
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, oh
I'm about to break
And I can't stop this ache
I'm addicted to your allure
And I'm fiendin' for a cure
Every step I take
Leads to one mistake
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need, Oh
I can't mend
This torn state I'm in
Getting nothing in return
What did I do to deserve
The pain of this moment
And everywhere I turn
I keep going right back
To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I say
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
Only thing I need to do is walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away
And you still can't let go?
I was naive
Your love was like candy
Artificially sweet

Got caught in your web
And I learned how to bleed

All these walls are caving in
I can't stop my suffering
I hate to show that I've lost control

To the one thing that I need to walk away from
I need to get away from ya
I need to walk away from ya
Get away, walk away, walk away

Any way what attracted me first in this song WALK AWAY is the way Christina vocalizes and gives flair to the song....and i have to admit that its one of few songs that only strikes and attracts me just by the way it is performed without my attention to the lyrics/even its melody.(i then noticed them as i listened more,and they are great too)..
See,the combination of voice and emotion is such a magic thing,and not many singers can do it so perfectly and delicately.for that i have to say i really love Christina tho sometimes i dont like the way she thickens her voice and makes it unatural and the way she belts out her voice sometimes.anyway its her own style and its very excellent of her to be able to do that.
How "Artificially sweet" it all was to begin with and how she nothing in return got - of course for the reason that he already had another. It seems like this song is about trying to break free without any luck. Being down on your knees only wishing that the pain, anger and frustration would go away.
Even though she tries to go away she keep going right back to one thing that she need to walk away from (to quote to song).
How bad this relationship is for her and how she really need to get out of this addiction.
("addicted to your allure")
Of course this is just my interpretation of this amazing song.
One of the best songs off Stripped.
A great song about being in love with someone
who you know is bad or wrong for you.
I included this in my Lyric blog.
So guys please take a look at my blog:
lyricallymelodious.blogspot.com
Let me know what you think. Or even give
my entry recommendations.
I want to get a discussion going on my blog
about music, artists and lyrics. I try to update
it on a regular basis and include a range of
artists from all different genres.
Anyway, this song reminds me of rape for some reason. I think of a young woman who is newly married who thought her husband was gonna be some great guy, but he then turns on her, and she can't leave him now that they are already done and married. She lusts for him, but he's bad for her.
It's about an addiction, an addiction you know you should stop. An addiction to someone or something you love.
Right now i'm doing a lot bad things to myself which i shouldn't be doing because it's bad for my health but i can't stop because it feels good at the time "I hate to show that i've lost control"
When i had a boyfriend i knew he was falling out of love with me and i started to become depressed but i still stayed with him even when i was getting hurt and then when we broke up i become so depressed and started new habits, bad habits. And even a worse one i'm seeing him again even though i know at the end of it all i'm gonna end up the one place where i'm trying to get away from. I listen to this song cause it's exactly what addiction feels like.This song is about feelings as if Your trapped, screaming for someone to get you out and the only way to get out is to stop certain things but you can't stop it, so you'll never get out. Woo that was alot haha
It's funny how Blacklisted describes the song. ( i can see where he is coming from.)
But yeah this song is defiantly about loveing someone so much regardless of the fact that they treat you like crap. Trying to WALK AWAY from the situation/relationshop or whatever and you still stay. LIke an addiction in a sick relationship.
very sad song.
It's a battle between your head and your heart.
Your head is telling you to stay away, and you know you should. You know they're not the right person for you but you hang on in hopes that someday something might change.
They've become something beyond an addiction.
So when your heart is telling you to walk away, and your heart simply can't, what can you do?
Do you face the world alone, emotionally broken?
Or do you hold on and continue this never-ending battle with your head?
