Far
Dover Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Far is not the word
Because I'm never far enough

I've been planning this for thirty years
No one's gonna stop me now
All I need to know is what it is
I got the balls so believe in me
I've got something for you little boy
You just wanted me dead little boy

I've been drinking soda for a month
Just in case I need to fly
Yes you never know what's gonna come
I must be ready for everything

I've got something for you little boy
You just wanted me dead little boy

Far is not the word
Because I'm never far enough

Down! now!
Now you can say goodbye
Get our of the car
You won't get rid of me so fast
And put up your hands
Is not my fault
Neither the summer's




Nor the winters
It is your whole life!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dover's song "Far" suggest an underlying theme of vengeance that has been brewing inside someone for thirty years. The first line, "Far is not the word," signifies that distance from a past hurt or injustice does not equate to forgetting or letting go of it. The following line, "Because I'm never far enough," emphasizes the idea that whatever the singer is seeking to achieve, distance alone cannot stop them. The third line, "I've been planning this for thirty years," clues us into the long-term strategy behind the singer's intention, which is formidable given the time period.


The song suggests that the singer has been wronged by someone, as indicated by the lines, "You just wanted me dead little boy" and "It is your whole life!" These punchy lyrics prove to be impactful, suggesting extreme resentment or a desire for revenge against the person who has somehow hurt the singer. Alcohol and flying are mentioned in the song, implying that the singer may be seeking to escape the situation that has caused them such pain. "I've been drinking soda for a month / Just in case I need to fly / Yes, you never know what's gonna come / I must be ready for everything" suggests that they are making a concerted effort to deal with the situation in a strategic way.


In conclusion, "Far" is an emotionally charged song that speaks to themes of injustice, vengeance, and escape. The lyrics suggest that distance alone is not enough to heal past hurts and that a person who has faced trauma may require a well-planned, strategic approach to find resolution.
