Forever Away
Emmi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Darkness is growing heavier, every minute
And the daylight is forever away forever away
Every sound every shadow grows
To the point of madness
Darkness is growing heavier, every minute
And the daylight is forever away forever away
Race against the wall coming back
Multiplied a thousand times
You twist and you turn
You think you're in flames and you burn
In the moonlight that insults your eyes
It all comes in circles and so it's meant to be
Together then separated again
In this moment when the daylight is forever away
forever away
For a while for a second there you get a hold on
brightness
But the silence is breathing heavier
Every minute and the daylight is forever away forever
away
Come with me
Come and see
I'll take you
Where no-one has been
And you'll breath easily
It all comes in circles and so it's meant to be
Together then separated again
In this moment when the daylight is forever away
In the song "Forever Away" by Emmi, the lyrics describe the struggles of insomnia and the overwhelming feeling of darkness and loneliness that comes with it. The night is portrayed as being merciless to those who cannot sleep, with darkness becoming heavier by the minute. The daylight seems like an unreachable goal, with every sound and shadow amplifying to the point of madness. The lyrics convey a sense of helplessness and desperation, with every effort to escape the insomnia seeming futile as the night seems to stretch on forever.
The chorus repeats the phrase "in this moment when the daylight is forever away" to emphasize the endlessness of the night, but also hints at the cyclical nature of life. The idea that everything comes in circles suggests that this moment of darkness will eventually be replaced by daylight, but also that the cycle will repeat itself once again. The lyrics also suggest a desire for escape, with the singer offering to take the listener to a place where they can "breathe easily" and escape the night.

I can’t believe I’m still uncovering JF tracks that I haven’t heard before. He never fails to speak to me in a way that few if any artists can. He’s had a tremendous influence of my life and work. Glad he’s still with us.

Una vez escuché esta canción camino a casa luego de un día emocionalmente agotador. Bajé del metro y comenzó a llover levemente, me quedé de pie bajo la lluvia escuchando, la calle estaba vacía pues ya era noche y comencé a llorar. Cuál monólogo de Blade Runner mis lágrimas se perdían en la lluvia mientras caminaba con la cabeza mirando al cielo y la música de John sonorizando mi camino.
Me sentí conmovido, feliz y triste. Plenamente consciente de mi vida, de mi muerte y mi sentir.
