Far Away
Longing Beyond Proximity
Lyrics
Far away, once so close
Expressing the distance that has grown over time, even though there was once closeness.
But now you're far away
Highlighting the current state of being physically distant from the person.
You're still here with me
Suggesting a lingering emotional presence despite the physical separation.
But not like yesterday, so far
Comparing the present emotional connection to the past, emphasizing the increased distance.
Far away, I hear you breathe
Perceiving the distant presence through auditory senses, particularly hearing breathing.
But you're so far away
Reiterating the emotional and physical distance, emphasizing the faraway nature.
Once so colourful
Recalling a past characterized by vibrancy and color, contrasting with the current state of dullness.
But now all turns to grey, so far
Describing the transformation of the once colorful into a monotonous and gray reality.
It's oh so strange
Expressing a sense of unfamiliarity or oddness about the current situation.
When centimetres feels like miles
Highlighting the perception of small distances feeling like vast separations.
Seconds like hours
Emphasizing the subjective experience of time, where seconds seem extended like hours.
Now it's true love has died
Declaring the end of true love, suggesting emotional detachment.
No more roads left to try, far away
Conveying a sense of reaching an endpoint with no options or paths left to explore.
Far away, long ago
Reflecting on a distant past when love was a permanent presence.
When love was here to stay
Contrasting the current absence of love with the past when it was enduring.
Now it's gone
Affirming the disappearance of love, emphasizing its irreversibility.
It doesn't matter what we say, so far
Indicating that words spoken hold no significance in the face of the profound distance.
Every word is like a knife
Metaphorically likening spoken words to a painful instrument, emphasizing their hurtful impact.
But the silence cuts you twice
Highlighting the silence as equally, if not more, painful than spoken words.
