Far Away
[12 Stones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel like I'm losing ground
Trying just to find my reasons
And losing sense of what is real
Willing to believe in something
Forgetting to believe in me
Will I find my place in your mind
Or will I fall away in time
Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday
Waiting just to see the end
As you follow down that road again
Trying just to find your purpose
You're fading faster everyday
Willing to believe in something
Forgetting to believe in me
Will I find my place in your mind
Or will I fall away in time
Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday
(Now I'm feeling)
Now I feel I'm losing time
And yesterday slipped away
But you didn't know
And time and time again
You wanted more that I had to give
To leave me with nothing
I'm waiting and dreaming
Yesterday slipped away
But you didn't know
No more waiting
Let me be
Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday
Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday
(Now I'm feeling)
So far away, so far away!
The lyrics of 12 Stones's song "Far Away" reflect the feelings of being lost, disconnected from oneself and the world, and unable to find purpose or belonging. The singer speaks of feeling like something is pulling him down, losing ground, as if he's struggling to stay afloat. He tries to find his reasons and make sense of reality, but everything feels distant and difficult to grasp. He's willing to believe in something, perhaps in another person, but he forgets to believe in himself. The singer wonders whether he will find his place in someone else's mind, or whether he will fall away in time, meaning that he'll be forgotten or left behind.
The second part of the song shifts the focus to the singer's relationship with another person. He's waiting to see how things will turn out, as the other person follows a road that seems familiar, maybe one that leads to disappointment or heartbreak. He sees the other person fading away faster every day, and he realizes that both of them are forgetting to believe in themselves. The singer wonders if he'll find his place in the other person's mind or if he will fall away in time, meaning that the relationship will dissolve or end. He feels like he's losing time, and he's mourning the fact that yesterday slipped away, perhaps referring to missed opportunities, regrets, or mistakes. He's waiting and dreaming for something that may never come, while the other person wants more than he can give, leaving him with nothing. Ultimately, the singer decides that he can't wait anymore and wants to be left alone to find his way, even if it means feeling far away and hating the other person every day.
Overall, the lyrics of "Far Away" express a sense of dislocation, disillusionment, and despair, as the singer struggles to find his identity, define his relationships, and make sense of his life. The song offers a glimpse into the human condition of feeling disconnected from oneself and others, and it speaks to anyone who has ever experienced the pain of loss, rejection, or alienation.

Hands DOWN, one of the best bands, vocalists and guitarists EVER. It's an absolute disgrace they didn't become majorly successful
I remember when a friend came by with a video tape with a music video by a new band called Evanescence. I was stunned by how good it was
Then "Featured guest vocalist" Paul McCoy started singing and within 2 seconds I was "Okay, F this band, who is THIS guy?? I want HIS album!"
THIS was the band to pull me out of almost 20 years of hell when my career as a concert photographer was destroyed by a power mad publicist who needed SOMEONE to pay because SHE fked up
THIS band made me believe in music again
THIS band made gave me the strength to live again, and I will be forever indebted to them for that
I was lucky enough to get to meet, bind with, and hang out with them on their first tour
Kevin and Aaron were especially amazing
I remember telling Eric how much I adored the album, and how I wanted SO many others to hear it, but I would NOT copy it (F Napster) and I'd bought several copies at the show to give to friends, and the absolutely stunned look on his face made me want to cry as he thanked and hugged me, telling me how he couldn't even afford a drink after a show, and how grateful he was that someone understood what so many musicians go through and how amazed he was that someone was happy to spend $ to support them when it would be so easy to just make copies
I sent Kevin copies of all the photos I took and never got a reply or heard from any of them since then
And, yeah... That sucks
But I will always cherish that brief moment in time when a band was SO amazing that...
I remembered what it was like to actually give a F**k...
