Far From Home
4hours-band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All that were animated by contaminated lies
And before you knew what you were missing
You find yourself whispering her name and playing all her games
I'm not the only one who wants to get away
But it's too easy just to stay
With poison on my lips
And every place I fix my gaze she's turning me to stone
I'm lost and I am far from home, yeah
Never waited for your cue, I fell hopelessly for you
There was nothing else, there was nothing I could do
And all the things that I was thinking you were going to be
And I was going to see were just a fantasy that had a hold on me
I'm not the only one who wants to get away
But it's too easy just to stay so
Every night I close my eyes and wake up in her grip
With poison on my lips
And every place I fix my gaze she's turning me to stone
I'm lost and I am far from home
There's not much left here to call my own, yeah
There's no one left here to call my friend, yeah
I'm not the only one who wants to get away
But it's too easy just to stay
Every night I close my eyes and wake up in her grip
With poison on my lips
And every place I fix my gaze she's turning me to stone
I'm lost and I am far from home, yeah
Yeah, yeah, far from home
Every night I close my eyes and wake up, yeah, yeah
Every night I close my eyes and wake up so far
"Far From Home" by 4hours-band tells the story of a person who gets caught up in a toxic and manipulative relationship. The opening lines describe the allure of the person they are involved with, who has the ability to paint a beautiful picture with their words and actions. However, this beauty is tainted by lies and deceit.
The singer finds themselves drawn to this person, whispering their name and playing their games despite knowing deep down that something is wrong. They feel trapped in this unhealthy dynamic, longing to escape but also finding it too easy to stay.
The chorus emphasizes the hold that this person has over them. Every night, they close their eyes and find themselves under their grip, with poison on their lips. It's as if this person's influence is suffocating, turning them to stone and leaving them feeling lost and far from home.
The second verse reflects on the singer's initial hopefulness and illusions about what this relationship would be. They fell hopelessly for this person, believing they would be everything they wanted and needed. However, it turns out to be a fantasy that has taken control over them.
The bridge of the song acknowledges the singer's loneliness and isolation. There's nothing left to call their own, and they feel like they have no true friends to rely on.
In the end, the chorus repeats, emphasizing the ongoing struggle to escape from this toxic relationship and the feeling of being far from home.

She could paint the sweetest pictures

All that were animated by contaminated lies

You find yourself drawn to her and getting caught up in her manipulative actions
I'm not the only one who wants to get away
I'm not alone in wanting to escape from this situation

But it's easier to stay and endure the pain

Every night I feel trapped and controlled by her
With poison on my lips

And every place I fix my gaze she's turning me to stone
Wherever I look, she has the power to paralyze me emotionally
I'm lost and I am far from home, yeah
I'm confused and far away from a place of security and comfort
Never waited for your cue, I fell hopelessly for you
I didn't hesitate, I completely and uncontrollably fell in love with you
There was nothing else, there was nothing I could do
There were no other options or choices for me

All the expectations I had for who you would become
And I was going to see were just a fantasy that had a hold on me

I'm lost and I am far from home, yeah
I'm confused and far away from a place of security and comfort
Every night I close my eyes and wake up, yeah, yeah
Every night I go to sleep and wake up in the same distress
Every night I close my eyes and wake up so far
Every night I hope to escape this situation, but I always wake up feeling distant and disconnected
