Keep Away
Godsmack · Live & Inspired [2012]
craving everything that you thought was alive
stab me in my heart again
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
twisting everything around that you say
smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
rag me I don't hear you anymore
Find out what it means to me
I dont know who you are
Do like I told you stay away from me
Never misunderstand me
Keep Away From Me! x2
Draggin on so lonely aren't you tired baby
Breathin' life into your lungs
Are you immune to me (chorus 2x)
Keep Away
From Godsmack's 2012 live album Live & Inspired, "Keep Away" captures the band's signature blend of hard rock and arena metal. Recorded during their extensive touring history, the track exemplifies the high-energy performances that defined their later career, featuring powerful vocals and driving guitar riffs characteristic of the nu-metal and alternative metal genres of the early 2000s. As a staple of their live setlists, the song reflects the band's evolution from their 1998 debut era, showcasing a matured sound that resonated with fans attending their concerts. The recording serves as a testament to Godsmack's ability to deliver anthemic rock music that prioritizes raw energy and crowd engagement over studio polish.
