About This Track
'Turn Away' by Beck is an alternative track from the album 'Morning Phase' (2014). The lyrics revolve around refusing a familiar voice and seeking escape, moving through images of silence, falling, and a love that builds a hard boundary between waking and slumber. The repeated instruction to “turn away” frames it as an act of withdrawal, paired with an insistence on light, time, and being held. Overall, it reads like a tense, inward address, where solitude feels both protective and perilously close to collapse.
"Turn Away" is a track by Beck, from the album Morning Phase, released 2014. The track is 3:06 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 11 articles about Beck.
About the Artist
Lyrics
Turn turn away From the sound of your own voice Calling no one, just a silence Run to see you at the edge Fall off the avalanche Turn away Hold hold the light That fixes you in time Keeps you under Takes you over The wall that love divides, between waking and slumber Turn away Turn turn away From the weight of your own past It's magic for the devil And betray the lack of change Once you have spoken Turn away
