Away

Song Meaning

KB builds "Away" around a single pleading refrain — take me away from here — that repeats until it feels less like escape and more like exhaustion with the struggle itself. The verses name that struggle plainly: stumbling through the night, darkness finding him again, the cycle of doing the very thing he doesn't want to do. There's a striking admission that the flesh keeps showing up like an encore, and a question that echoes Paul's cry for deliverance, answered immediately with "You will free us." The chorus turns toward Yahweh with a declaration that the body is a holy temple and a refusal to wrestle or surrender to anything less than His love. Midway, the song shifts into Yoruba and Nigerian Pidgin — "Omo I go do whatever," a promise to stay by God's side and tell everybody, addressing Baba Mimo, the Holy Spirit, to speak with him. The closing stretch asks God to finish what He started, admitting he's been here too long. Grace, surrender, and the hope of being carried out of the fight hold the whole track together.

Take me, take me away
Take me away from here, oh
Take me, take me away
Take me away
Away, away, away from here

You know how the fight go, yeah
Turnin' off the cycle, yeah
Live to be right though, live out what I quote, tryna be the light though
While we stumble though the night though
Falling
I'm falling
Struggles all around me
Darkness came to find me
Here again, I'm callin'

Yahweh
I want to follow Your way
My body na Your holy temple
I will not wrestle, I don't surrender to Your love, oh

Oh, Yahweh
I want to follow Your way
My body na Your holy temple
I will not wrestle, I don't surrender to Your love, oh yeah

Take me away, take me away from here
Away, away, away, away, away
Take me away, take me away from here
Away, away, away, away, away

Oh, Yahweh

My body na Your holy temple
I will not wrestle, I don't surrender to Your love, oh

Can't let nobody take my soul and body
Surrender, no folly
I'm sorry, sorry

I do the very thing that I don't want
No, I'm not the slave that I once was
Flesh showing out, it's a encore
Every time we sin and we hate what we did but want more
Who will free us?
You will free us
Fighting to the day that we face to face
Amazing is the grace that will break the shame
Take everything, leave

Yahweh
I want to follow your way
My body na your holy temple
I will not wrestle, I don't surrender to your love, oh

Oh Yahweh
I want to follow your way
My body na Your holy temple
I will not wrestle, I don't surrender to your love, oh yeah

Oh Yahweh
Away, away
Finish what You started
Away, away, away, away, away
Been here way too long, oh, you're stronger
Away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away, away
Away, away, away

Take me away, take me away from here
Away, away, away, away, away
Take me away, take me away from here
Away, away, away, away, away
Take me away, take me, take me
Away, away, away, away, away
Take me, take me away, away, away, away
Away, away, away, away, away
