Destry's current work currently consists of collaborations between DaRosa and four other artists, Sam Means (formerly of The Format), drummer Nico Childrey and Tyler Odom who played together in Cassino, and bassist Shaun Cooper of Straylight Run.
DaRosa said all five have collaborated, but have never been in the same room together. She also says the only members of a possible tour would be herself, Nico, and Shaun.
So Far Away
Destry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
give their best attempt to try and make it last
but I'm so far away from you...I'm so far away
Seven years have past and now she's got three kids
life is moving faster than it ever did
but I'm so far away from you
but I'm so far away
And these days will go by
I'm wishing that I
could get a little closer to that part of my life
these days will go by
I'm wishing that I
could get a little closer to you
Claw my way through walls to try to break on in.
Overhearing things I wish I never did
but I'm so far away from you
but I'm so far away
Five years later and you need a change
at first it was scary now it's just strange
how I'm so far away from you
how I'm so far away
And these days will go by
I'm wishing that I
could get a little closer to that part of my life
these days will go by
I'm wishing that I
could get a little closer to you
Ba da da dee da da.......
These days will go by
i'm wishing that I
could get a little closer to you.
In Destry's song "So Far Away", the lyrics express a feeling of distance and separation from a past love. The song starts with a description of people who try to hold onto the past and make it last, contrasting with the singer who is so far removed from it all. The next verse reveals that seven years have passed and the singer's former love has three kids and a life that moves too fast for him to keep up with. Despite his efforts to break through and listen in on her life, the singer acknowledges the vast distance between them. The final verse shows the passage of even more time, and the singer realizes that he needs to get a little closer to that part of his life, wishing to reconnect with his past love.
The theme of the song is distance, both physical and emotional. The lyrics focus on the singer's longing to be closer to a past love but despite his efforts, he remains far away. The song captures the feeling of nostalgia, longing, and regret that can come when looking back on past relationships.
