Far Away
Destiny calls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse:]
The sky is blind
Eternal night
Keeps telling me to quit the fight
And in this shelter I realize

So many times
I’ve tried to find
Another one to close my eyes
But all these years I’ve fallen down in vain

[Pre-Chorus:]
Silence so unreal
Smoke gathers from the flame
The wind defeats me
Hoping you'll still be there

[Chorus:]
When the fire dies at night
When the burning rain subsides
Take my hand and slowly fall into me
Every time I close my eyes
I can see your smile it's beckoning
For me to come home

[Verse 2:]
I’ve tried to run
I’ve tried to hide
Tried to face the fear inside
But in the end the darkness finds me

Made of stone and made of fire
Then the breath that binds our hearts
So when the ships go down
I'll hold you near

[Pre-Chorus:]
Silence so unreal
Smoke gathers from the flame
A toxic people
Chemicals in the air





[Chorus x2]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Far Away” by Destiny Calls convey a sense of struggle and the search for comfort in trying times. The song begins with a vivid description of a bleak and unchanging reality, where the “sky is blind” and there is an “eternal night”. In this world, the singer feels like they are constantly being urged to give up and stop fighting. The only solace they find is in a shelter, where they have a moment of clarity and realize that they have been searching for someone to “close their eyes” with, but have failed many times.


The song then moves to the pre-chorus, which is characterized by a disorienting sense of unreality. The silence is described as “unreal”, smoke is gathering from a flame, and the wind is defeating the singer. They are hoping that someone, the person they have been searching for, will still be there. The chorus then arrives, and it is a plea for comfort and a desire to find home. The singer asks for their lover’s hand to guide them through the darkest times, and describes how they can see their smile, beckoning them to come home, every time they close their eyes.


In the second verse, the singer describes their various attempts to escape or confront their fears, only to be pursued by darkness. They then describe the bond they share with their lover, comparing themselves to “stone” and “fire” and saying that their hearts are bound together. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the desire for comfort and a feeling of belonging.

@numimimi

This absolutely should be intro for newbies ingame, really needed something like this for years.

@theremnants6807

It'll probably be added for lightfall as the replacement for the ghost revival and Mars cutscene from d1.

@Argonian0727

It is the intro. Make a new character and see

@ArciaHills
