Miles Apart
A.R. Kane Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And it really doesn't matter if you break my heart
Just as long as we're together I will fall apart

in my heart we're miles apart

and it really doesn't matter what you say to me
Just as long as we're speaking (?)
in my heart we're miles apart
And the sad sad song goes on and on
The sad sad song goes on and on
In my heart we're miles apart
And the sad sad song goes on and on
The sad sad song goes on and on and on...

just because we won't start over doesn't make it so
(?)

in my heart we're miles apart
And the sad sad song goes on and on
The sad sad song goes on and on
In my heart we're miles apart
And the sad sad song goes on and on
The sad sad song goes on and on and on

and it really doesn't matter if you're mad at me




And it really doesn't matter how you fall apart
And it really doesn't matter if you break my heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to A.R. Kane's song Miles Apart suggest a relationship that is dysfunctional and non-communicative. The singer is expressing that distance has already grown between them and it will only continue to grow deeper as time goes on. They explain that it no longer matters if their partner breaks their heart, as long as they are still together they will continue to fall apart internally. The repetition of the line "in my heart we're miles apart" reinforces the idea that the physical proximity of the two individuals is not indicative of the emotional space between them.


The line "just because we won't start over doesn't make it so" implies that there was perhaps an opportunity to "reset" the relationship and try again, but it was not taken. It could also suggest that the singer is stuck in a pattern of behavior that cannot be broken. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of hopelessness and resignation, which is reinforced by the repetition of the "sad sad song" that "goes on and on".

It's probably 27 years or something since I last listened to this album all the way through. And my Lord it's good.
