So Far Away
Ê·µ¤(Staind) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not what it was before
All these feelings I've shared
And these are my dreams
That I'd never lived before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today
These are my words
That I've never said before
I think I'm doing okay
And this is the smile
That I've never shown before
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping
[Chorus:] (altered)
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today
I'm so afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Afraid of waking
Please don't shake me
Now that we're here, it's so far away
All the struggle we thought was in vain
And all the mistakes, one life contained
They all finally start to go away
And now that we're here, it's so far away
And I feel like I can face the day
And I can forgive
And I'm not ashamed to be
The Person that I am today
"So Far Away" is a poignant song by Staind about self-discovery and freedom from past regrets. The song begins with the singer acknowledging that his life has changed, and he has grown emotionally and mentally. He describes how he has shared his deepest feelings and fulfilled his unfulfilled dreams. He confesses his confusion and disorientation, feeling like he's in a dream state, but he is comforted by the fact that he knows he is not alone. In the chorus, the singer highlights how far he has come, realizing that all his past struggles, mistakes, and regrets are finally starting to fade away. He states that he feels strong enough to face the day and forgive himself, and he is proud of who he is today, and he is not ashamed of it.
The songwriter is encouraging the listener to come to terms with their innermost feelings and acknowledge their past struggles and experiences, no matter what they are, to come to peace with themselves. The song carries an uplifting, inspirational message to open up and forgive yourself and others, embrace what life has to offer and grow.

This is my life
The current state of my existence
It's not what it was before
My past experiences have transformed my current reality
All these feelings I've shared
The emotions and thoughts I've expressed to others
And these are my dreams
The aspirations and hopes that I hold for myself
That I'd never lived before
That I previously had not experienced or brought to fruition
Somebody shake me 'cause I
I am in disbelief and need confirmation
I must be sleeping
This reality is too positive to be true
Now that we're here, it's so far away
Our current state of being is distant from the struggles and pain we once endured
All the struggle we thought was in vain
Our past suffering seems purposeless in light of our current situation
And all the mistakes, one life contained
Our past errors are a part of our life story
They all finally start to go away
Our regrets and pain are starting to dissipate
And I feel like I can face the day
I now have the courage and confidence to confront the future
And I can forgive
I've found the strength to make peace with past hurts
And I'm not ashamed to be
I am no longer embarrassed or fearful of showing my true self
The Person that I am today
The authentic version of myself at this moment in time
These are my words
The expressions and musings that I've voiced
That I've never said before
Topics or feelings that were never previously discussed
I think I'm doing okay
I feel confident and content with my current progress
And this is the smile
The outward expression of my newfound peace and happiness
That I've never shown before
A previously private emotion or feeling
I'm so afraid of waking
I fear that this awakening to inner peace is just a dream
Please don't shake me
I don't want to be woken up from this newfound state

Lyrics:
Verse 1: Jamie Scott]
Light 'em up, light 'em up
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Summer nights, bright lights
And the shooting stars, they break my heart
[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Scott]
Calling you now, but you're not picking up
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Light a match, light a match
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
[Chorus: Jamie Scott]
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away
So far away
[Verse 2: Romy Dya]
It's breaking me, losing you
We were far from perfect
But we were worth it
Too many fights, and we cried
But never said we're sorry
Stop saying you love me
[Pre-Chorus: Romy Dya]
You're calling me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
The summer's over now
But somehow it still breaks my heart
We could have had this talk
Oh
[Chorus: Romy Dya & Jamie Scott]
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day and when you're so far away
[Post-Chorus: Romy Dya & Jamie Scott]
So far away
So far away, oh
So far away
So far away
[Outro: Romy Dya]
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day and when you're so far away
@issac-xk4ks
Light 'em up, light 'em up
Tell me where you are, tell me where you are
Summer nights, bright lights
And the shootin' stars, they break my heart
Callin' you now, but you're not pickin' up
Shadows so close if that's still enough
Light a match, light a match
Baby, in the dark, show me where you are
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
No, love
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
So far away
It's breakin' me, losin' you
We were far from perfect
But we were worth it
Too many fights, and we cried
But never said we're sorry
Stop sayin' you love me
You're callin' me now, but I can't pick up
Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love
The summer's over now
But somehow it still breaks my heart
We could have had this talk
Oh
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
No, love
God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away
So far away
So far away, oh
So far away
So far away
Oh, love
How I miss you every single day
When I see you on those streets
Oh, love
Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me
'Cause I don't know how to love someone else
I don't know how to forget your face
Oh, love
God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away
