“All Away” sits somewhere between the lyrical stylings of Bearings, the atmosphere building abilities of Grayscale, with additional touches of their own shoegaze melodies. What these components amount to is a song with heart and a message.
The band say themselves that it “revolves around the feelings and tendencies that attachment and co-dependency produce, the importance of self-worth and allowance to remove yourself from a situation to breathe.” This is apparent in the lyrics, as we’re shown into the battle the narrator faces: ‘I think you’ve got me thinking / I’m comfortable with sinking / Cause all I do is care about you,’ and ‘I blinked and now you’re leaving / You owe me something to believe in.’ The desperation to escape the clutches of attachment and co-dependency come through in heavy, grungy guitars and melodies that know exactly when to rise and fall.
