Far, Far Away
Echoes of Redemption: Far, Far Away Serenade
Lyrics
Staring at the shoreline
Contemplating the shoreline, reflecting on a situation.
Wishing for some hope
Desiring optimism or a positive outcome.
The weight of empty fishing nets is more than twisted rope
Empty fishing nets symbolize disappointment and unfulfilled expectations, contrasting with twisted rope.
And underneath stern faces
People with serious expressions, possibly burdened by life's challenges.
They wait with baited breath
Waiting anxiously with anticipation.
With broken hearts from hoping while casting out their nets
Experiencing heartbreak from prolonged hope.
See the figure on the shore
A figure on the shore, possibly a significant spiritual or authoritative figure.
He speaks his words like plain men sing
Speaking in a simple, relatable manner.
His hands they still have holes in them
Hands with holes suggest a connection to a divine figure, possibly referencing Jesus.
Glory to the king
Expressing praise and honor to a king, likely referring to God.
Can you hear the bells are ringing
Repetition of questioning if distant bells and voices can be heard, emphasizing a sense of distance or separation.
Far, far away?
-Can you hear the voices singing
-Far, far away?
-And Peter was a liar
Admitting personal flaws and drawing parallels with historical figures known for betrayal and hypocrisy.
A traitor just like me
-And Judas was a hypocrite
-And Paul a Pharisee
-When truth can be so distant and hope evades our reach
Acknowledging the challenges of discerning truth and finding hope.
Peter swam across the water and found it on the beach
Referencing Peter's experience of finding hope after a challenging journey.
Can you hear the bells are ringing
Repeated questioning about hearing distant bells and voices, reinforcing the theme of separation and longing.
Far, far away?
-Can you hear the voices singing
-Far, far away?
-Can you hear the bells are ringing
-Far, far away?
-Can you hear the voices singing
-Far, far away?
-I know that one day soon a song shall rise
Anticipating the rise of a hopeful song in the future.
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes
-I hear they'll hang you upside down
Describing a potential consequence for listening to distant voices and turning to the Lord.
Stretched across two boards
-For hearing distant voices
-And crossing to the Lord
-Can you hear the bells are ringing
Repetition of questioning the distant bells and voices, intensifying the theme of longing and separation.
Far, far away?
-Can you hear the voices singing
-Far, far away?
-Can you hear the bells are ringing
-Far, far away?
-Can you hear the voices singing
-Far, far away?
-I know that one day soon a song shall rise
Reiteration of the hopeful anticipation of a future song, suggesting a positive resolution.
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes, in your eyes
