FAR AWAY
Back One Out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need your heat, that's unique thing that I expect.
I know you have the yearnings for the old times, you lose your passion.
I need your understanding, 'cause one little choice could bring me down.
Why have I lost my sweetest size?
I ask my self for suicide;
I have no dreams that recollect me somewhere.
My lonely person that's aborting;
There were so many times when I believed it.
I can't feel it; don't think it's easy to comprehend me,
'Cause I don't know what I have inside my strange head,
I feel far away.
It's like a sort of paranoia that is killing myself;
Sometimes your needle lies could wound me as a knife.
And instead of reacting, I don't know why I'm falling down,
Outside from this world that one past time, as the other, I was loved.
I am sure that you're too much for me… I guess…
Beware! No one can deserve all in own life… or well… far away!
The song "Far Away" by Back One Out is a poignant expression of the feelings of isolation and confusion that the singer experiences in their relationship.

The second verse delves deeper into the singer's struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, which are exacerbated by their partner's absence and lack of support.
The bridge of the song suggests that the singer is aware of the toxicity of the relationship, with lines like "Sometimes your needle lies could wound me as a knife," suggesting that their partner may be manipulative or dishonest. Despite this, however, the singer remains mired in their feelings, unable to break free from the emotional turmoil that their relationship has caused.
Overall, "Far Away" is a powerful exploration of the complexities and difficulties of romantic relationships, and the toll that they can take on our mental health.
