So Far Away
Atomic Rose Lyrics

I never thought, never in a million years
I never could have imagined or expected

That you would be there and I would be here
That we would be in different places

It's getting cold outside
The atmosphere is becoming chilly

But it's freezing every moment you're not by my side
But it feels incredibly cold when you're not with me

I used to be
I used to exist as

One of those unrealistic, optimistic human beings
Someone who had unrealistic expectations and was full of hope

But every day
However, with each passing day

The more I wake the more I realize
The more I become aware and understand

That we're just
That we are simply

So far away
Separated by a great distance

From the archetype we always say we are
From the idealized versions of ourselves we claim to be

So far away
Separated by a great distance

From being the people we want to portray
From becoming the individuals we aspire to be

So far away
Separated by a great distance

That it seems like there's no other way, but
To the point where it feels like there are no alternative options, except

I guess we're on our way
I suppose we are progressing

So ironic - we make jokes about the pains that hurt the most
It's paradoxical - we humorously discuss the most painful experiences

We pour entire bottles of ourselves into tiny cups
We invest a large part of ourselves into insignificant situations

And we tend to lose our heads
And we often become irrational or lose control

to the things we try to forget
Due to the things we attempt to erase from our minds

But living in ignorance there's just no other escape, cause we are
Yet, because we lack awareness, there is no alternative route, since we are

So far away
Separated by a great distance

From the archetype we always say we are
From the idealized versions of ourselves we claim to be

So far away
Separated by a great distance

From being the people we want to portray
From becoming the individuals we aspire to be

So far away
Separated by a great distance

That it seems like there's no other way, but
To the point where it feels like there are no alternative options, except

I guess we're on our way
I suppose we are progressing

On my way, on my way to be
Progressing towards becoming

The boy that mama see in me, the man she want me to be
The person who my mother envisions and desires me to become

But I'm too lazy, too depressed, now my rooms a mess
However, I lack motivation, suffer from deep sadness, and my living space is disorganized

Puffin' crayons in distress
Consuming substances to cope with emotional turmoil

Now I'm on my way to outer space
Now I am headed towards a state of detachment from reality

Pen pals with the moon, see you at noon, mama
Communicating with the moon from a distance, acknowledging my mother

When I get stung by reality's harpoon, mama
When I face the painful truth of reality, mother

And be the man that you want me to be, cause
And become the man you desire me to be since

I live in the world of make believe
I exist within an imaginary realm

So far away
Separated by a great distance

From the archetype we always say we are
From the idealized versions of ourselves we claim to be

So far away
Separated by a great distance

Fuego en el silencio
Fire in the silence

Quema todo el tiempo
It burns all the time

Borra las promesas del final
It erases the promises of the end

Navego hacia el momento
I sail towards the moment

Luchando con el viento
Fighting against the wind

Todo por sentir la luz del sol
All for the sake of feeling the sunlight

On our way to destroy
On our journey to dismantle

Everything she created
Everything she brought into existence

And all the things we enjoy
And all the things that bring us pleasure

The world is sedated
The world is numbed or calmed

By all the things deployed
By all the things made use of

And the world is just a few ticks away
And the world is merely a short moment away

So far away
Separated by a great distance

So far away
Separated by a great distance

So far away
Separated by a great distance
