Far Away
Eisfabrik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The lost time runs through my hands
No matter what I do
Thousands of traces and thoughts
Questions never lead to answers
I was on the tops of high mountains
And stood in eternal ice
Knowing disappointments
And failing words

Far away – Far away
The wind will carry me through the open sea
Far away – Far away
The wind will carry me, so high, so free

A cold, wet winter is singing this song
In the course of time snow is falling
I often doubted although I was sure
Open the door to new worlds
And suddenly it all makes sense

The wind will carry me




Between the worlds back and forth
The wind will carry me through the open sea

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Eisfabrik's song, "Far Away," explore the idea of searching for answers and looking for a sense of purpose. The opening lines, "The lost time runs through my hands / No matter what I do," suggest a feeling of helplessness and the inability to control life's passing moments. The following lines express frustration at the lack of answers, despite having countless thoughts and questions. The singer has experienced both high achievements and deep disappointments, but still finds themselves searching for something more.


The chorus, "Far away - far away / The wind will carry me through the open sea / Far away - far away / The wind will carry me, so high, so free," suggests the possibility of finding what they are looking for, but only by venturing into unknown territory. The theme of exploration continues in the line "Open the door to new worlds," which urges the singer to step outside of their comfort zone to find fulfillment. The bridge "A cold, wet winter is singing this song / In the course of time snow is falling" creates a melancholy tone, but also signifies the passing of time and the need to move forward.


In the final lines, the wind represents both a physical and metaphorical force. It becomes a symbol of hope, carrying the singer between different worlds and across the open sea - a limitless expanse of opportunity. The song provides a message of perseverance, and the idea that if you keep searching, you will eventually find what you are looking for.
