"Cast Away From Here" is the temporary title given to an unknown Rock song that was uploaded to Watzatsong in November of 2021 by "account12399" (the same user who originally uploaded "My Pretty Doll").
The original upload was a (fairly bad condition) tape transfer. Since then, many people have restored/mastered the song and created something that sounds much more palatable. I had always been a massive fan of this song and was craving something of much better quality, so decided to finally cover it myself. There's been lots of debate on the true pitch of the song - I pitched it down a semitone because, for me, it made sense playing that on guitar/bass. I do think it sounds better in this key, personally! Anyway, hope you enjoy!
As always, if you recognise this cover, or the original, and can provide any further information regarding the original artist/song, please do get in touch!

My interpretation of the lyrics:
I may appear to stay here waiting
From this blasted cliquiness
Now little girls want their thrill
The damage where we pry in
It’s night and day, it’s saying:
“Just trying to build a chance for us”
The fault is you kept being involved
A lamb to slaughter has been found
I pray for romance in ourselves
And those times you used to be my brightest soul
I know there’s so much jealousy, for you
Just deploy the pain that's cast away from you
