Godsmack - Keep Away Lyrics






Sickness spilling through your eyes
Craving everything you thought was alive, yeah
Stab me in heart again, ah yeah
Drag me through your wasted life, are you forever dead?

Do like I told you
Stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Keep away from me

Twistin' everything around that you say, yeah!
Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
Rag me, I don't hear you anymore, not yet
Find out what it means to me, I don't know who you are

Do like I told you
Stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Keep away from me

Do like I told you
Stay away from me
Never misunderstand me

Yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Oh!

Draggin' on so lonely, aren't you tired baby? Yeah!
Breathing life into your lungs are you immune to me?
Immune to me
Immune to me
Immune to me
Maybe yeah yeah yeah!

Do like I told you
Stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Keep away from me

Do like I told you
Stay away from me
Never misunderstand me

Ahhh. Yeah!
Keep away from me
Oh yeah!
Never misunderstand me
Never misunderstand me
Never misunderstand me
Ahhh. Yeah

Yeah! [4x]

Godsmack Keep Away Comments
  1. F.... D....

    Godsmack is superb !!!

    New World Parasite

    Technology, television, computers, swallowing what was you.

    Sense deprived; it's the new world, step inside.

    It's consuming; let go, let your self divide.

    Dreams replaced, take a taste, it's new.

    Reflection becomes reflected; look into the new, swollen tide.

    But be careful if you step inside.

    Pesticides and zoos—they're done. Now it's you.

    Don't walk, don't run, don't sweat, don't feel pain.

    Come on in from out of the rain.

    Paintings to TV to virtual reality—can't you see?

    It's not about technology; it's about thee.

    Transformation's coming—religion's not enough.

    Draw within; reach without—nowhere to go.

    Altered states, new world, consciousness fades—the real me?

    One world unity becomes reality: no individuality.

    No pain, no solitude—old world ending, and with it you.

    Evolution can't keep up, accelerated loss of touch.

    World changing; evolve, it's new, it's you—you'll see.

    Your mind can starve and decompose.

    Don't be tricked by fancy prose.

    The keepers now imprisoned—in their new world confined.

    What will come of our collective, withered, one-world mind?

    sigma male
    The introverted alpha male. They do not conform to society standards and rather think for themselves. Sigmas have many traits often correlated with an alpha male. Although they can appear quiet to those who do not know them, they are actually outgoing once you speak to them. These people are on a similar hierarchy to an alpha male, although they are simply less extroverted and are more in tune with themselves.

  32. N.... R....

    Sickness spilling through your eyes,
    Craving everything that you thought was alive
    Stab me in my heart again
    Drag me through you wasted life
    Are you forever dead?
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
    Twistin' everything around that you say
    Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
    Rag me, I don't hear you anymore,
    (not yet)find out what it means to me
    I don't know who you are
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me
    Dragging on so lonely, aren't you tired baby
    Breathing life into your lungs,
    Are you immune to me
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me, keep away from me
    Do like I told you, stay away from me
    Never misunderstand me
    Keep away from me
    Never misunderstand me
    Never misunderstand me
    Never misunderstand me

  33. U.... ....

    Everytime I hear that main riff I think of "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by filter. Godsmack's guitar riff is Filter's bassline in the same tuning and tempo...See for yourself https://youtu.be/o9mJ82x_l-E
    Such a great god damn classic song from Filter \m/

  34. J.... M....

  65. A.... A....

    Why people don't do music like this anymore?

    A.... A....

    Because good music is dead. Everything is trash ghetto rap with auto tune and ghost writers. I miss music like this.

    A.... A....

    @Dez Osbourne me too.

    A.... A....

    This is the kind of music that is immortal. You can listen to this 50 years from now and it'll still be this good and liked!!! Try to imagine the same scenario for any new song.

    A.... A....

    And a few days ago I was listening to INXS and I was wondering with whom I can compare the songwriting skills of Michael Hutchence, and nothing came to mind. His lyrics are extraterrestrial!
