Away From The Sun
3 Doors Down Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
Can anyone tell what I've done?
I miss the life
I miss the colors of the world
Can anyone tell where I am?

'Cause now again I found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down
Away from the sun again
Away from the sun again

Well, I'm over this
I'm tired of living and I'm dark
Can anyone see me down here?
The feeling's gone
There's nothing left to lift me up
Back into the world I know

'Cause now again I found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down
Away from the sun again
Oh no, yeah, oh no

It's down to this
I've got to make this life make sense
And now I can't tell what I've done
Now again I found myself so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me

'Cause now again I found myself so far down
Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
I'm so far down, away from the sun
That shines to light the way for me
To find my way back into the arms
That care about the ones like me
I'm so far down
Away from the sun again




Oh no, yeah
I'm gone

Lyrics:

It's down to this
Tudo se resume a isso

I've got to make this life make sense
Eu tenho que fazer esta vida fazer sentido

Can anyone tell what I've done?
Alguém pode dizer o que eu fiz?

I miss the life
Eu sinto falta da vida

I miss the colours of the world
Eu sinto falta das cores do mundo

Can anyone tell where I am?
Alguém pode dizer onde eu estou?


'Cause now again I've found myself so far down
Porque agora me encontrei tão longe novamente

Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
Longe do sol que brilha no lugar mais escuro

I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Estou tão longe, longe do sol novamente

Away from the sun again
Longe do Sol novamente


I'm over this
Eu superei isso

I'm tired of livin' in the dark
Eu estou cansado de viver no escuro

Can anyone see me down here?
Alguém pode me ver aqui?

The feeling's gone
O sentimento se foi

There's nothing left to lift me up
Não sobrou nada pra me levantar

Back into the world I know
Do mundo que eu conheço


And now again I've found myself so far down
E agora me encontrei tão longe novamente

Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
Longe do sol que brilha no lugar mais escuro

I'm so far down, away from the sun
Estou tão longe, longe do sol

That shines to light the way for me
que brilha para iluminar o caminho para mim

To find my way back into the arms
Para encontrar o caminho de volta para os braços

That care about the ones like me
Que se preocupam com quem gosta de mim

I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Estou tão longe, longe do sol novamente


It's down to this
Tudo se resume a isso

I've got to make this life make sense
Eu tenho que fazer esta vida fazer sentido

And now I can't tell what I've done
E agora eu não posso dizer o que eu fiz


Now again I've found myself so far down
Agora, novamente, eu me encontrei tão longe

Away from the sun that shines to light the way for me
Longe do Sol que brilha para iluminar o caminho para mim


'Cause now again I've found myself so far down
Porque agora me encontrei tão longe novamente

Away from the sun that shines into the darkest place
Longe do Sol que brilha no lugar mais escuro

I'm so far down, away from the sun
Estou tão longe, longe do sol

That shines to light the way for me
que brilha para iluminar o caminho para mim

To find my way back into the arms
Para encontrar meu caminho de volta para os braços

That care about the ones like me
Que se preocupam com quem gosta de mim

I'm so far down, away from the sun again
Estou tão longe, longe do sol novamente


Oh, no
Oh, não

Yeah
Yeah

I'm gone
Estou fora

I like how the video includes the 2 people just standing there. Even though they weren't laughing/throwing rocks, they were still contributing to the struggle of the kid because they didn't try to stop it. They just let it happen. Sometimes apathy and indifference can be more harmful than the abuse and bullying.

@patbourke3279

Even though they knew it was wrong

@ceoa

Very well said.

@joelclaus288

I think that is the point of the video. So many times in our life we never step up for others when we can or should.

This song got me through the dark times of life. I'm slowly coming into the light. Sometimes i will listen to this song to remind myself of how far i have come. Prayers for anyone who is struggling right now.

@AllyPeez-hz8xi

I just went through hell for one week and still no hot water . I was laboring on a trench for me to get hot water pipe. My brother slave master made me do the horrible part of it. When I review the video every now and then he can’t make me work like that again. And I still don’t have warm water and what is a 53 year old lady doing that type of work?

@pattthahuman610

Thanks man still have a hole in my heart after mom passed away back in January, and it's been really difficult been having a hard time

@Jewell579

@@pattthahuman610 Hang in there. I lost my Dad earlier this year too, so I understand how you are probably feeling. Prayers for you. I'm sure healing will come.
