Cast Away
Ella Vos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breathin′ the same old air
Watch another wheel turn
Turn 'til it goes nowhere
Raining down from above
Finding the same old god
Everything is undone
Nobody said it′s fair
These ways don't open any doors
You're breaking me in two
Living like I′m castaway
I′m falling back into
What feels like another day
Sailing through a quiet storm
Waiting for an empty nest
You're breaking me in two
Living like I′m castaway
Drowning under my breath
Stare from across the street
Just a second too late
Waiting all of these years
I stand alone in my heart
Make a woman out of me
Try remember your face
It's always incomplete
You′re breaking me in two
Living like I'm castaway
I′m falling back into
What feels like another day
Sailing through a quiet storm
Waiting for an empty nest
You're breaking me in two
Living like I'm castaway
Swimming all alone in the chaos
Watching all the planes as they take off
Tell me, is it now or forever?
Ever, ever, ever
You′re breaking me in two
Living like I′m castaway
I'm falling back into
What feels like another day
Sailing through a quiet storm
Waiting for an empty nest
You′re breaking me in two
Livin' like I′m castaway
Ella Vos's song Cast Away starts with the lyrics "Living miles apart, Breathing the same old air, Watch another wheel turn, Turn 'til it goes nowhere." These lyrics show that the song is about two people who are far apart but still connected in some way. They may still have feelings for each other, but the distance or other circumstances prevent them from being together. The line "Everything is undone, Nobody said it's fair" suggests that the situation is not ideal, but they are both trying to make it work.
In the chorus, Ella Vos sings "You're breaking me in two, Living like I'm castaway, I'm falling back into, What feels like another day." This suggests that the situation is taking a toll on her emotionally and mentally. She may feel isolated and lonely, and the feeling of being cast away adds to her sense of displacement.
The song is an emotional ballad that talks about a situation many people can relate to, the feeling of distance and isolation from someone you care about. The lyrics, along with the melody, create a sense of longing, sadness, and hope.

Number of views reveals me how the culture and art of the world has faded or turned into stupidity. This is art! The number of views should be 7 billion. People who are hearing this song right now and liking it are super smart and I'm really happy to know there's us, who know what music really is. The lyrics, the music, the voice, the emotion,... feels like the old times. Masterpiece!
