Far From Home

La, la, la, la, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Far from home
Ten thousand meters high life's not complicated
I guess I'm a lucky guy but still I find no reason
Why I feel so empty inside
I guess I'm far away from home tonight, tonight
All the places where I have been
And the rest of this world to be seen
But I feel that I'm far from home
And I want to be here on my own
All the places where I have been
And the rest of this world to be seen
But I feel that I'm far from home
And I want to be here on my own, far from home
Ten thousand meters high life's not complicated
I guess I'm a lucky guy but still I find no reason
Why I feel so empty inside
I guess I'm far away from home tonight
Why I feel so empty inside?
I guess I'm far away from home tonight, tonight
All the places where I have been
And the rest of this world to be seen
But I feel that I'm far from home
And I want to be here on my own, far from home
I guess I'm far away from home tonight, tonight
The song "Far from Home" by Basshunter is about feeling disconnected, empty, and out of place even when living a seemingly perfect life. The repetition of the line "All the places where I have been and the rest of this world to be seen" emphasizes the idea that the singer has traveled extensively, but still feels like something is missing. The chorus "But I feel that I'm far from home, and I want to be here on my own, far from home" expresses the singer's desire for independence, to find their own path and identity, away from the expectations and pressures of those around them.
The verse "Ten thousand meters high life's not complicated, I guess I'm a lucky guy but still I find no reason why I feel so empty inside" conveys a sense of isolation and disconnection from reality. Despite being high up in an airplane in a luxurious lifestyle, the singer still feels unfulfilled and yearns for something more. The song suggests that true fulfillment comes from finding oneself and one's own purpose, rather than living a life of expectations.
Overall, "Far from Home" is a relatable and vulnerable song that speaks to anyone who has felt lost or out of place in their life, despite living a seemingly perfect life.
