Sorrow
Far Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to think,
"I've never been through it,
The deaths the stuff that make us old enough."
Old enough to love a boy whose name I still don't know.
We traded voices, blurted accidents.
Brutal winter froze through spring's slow crawl.
In The summers burn, the impending fall.




Overall Meaning

In "Sorrow's End" by Far, the lyrics describe the singer's journey towards adulthood and the harsh realities of life that come with it. The opening line "I used to think, 'I've never been through it,'" suggests a naïve outlook on life and a false sense of invincibility. The subsequent lines about death and aging demonstrate a growing awareness of life's fragility and the inevitability of mortality.


The song then delves into the singer's romantic experiences, specifically a relationship with a boy whose name she does not know. The line "We traded voices, blurted accidents" implies a certain level of intimacy and vulnerability in their relationship. However, this relationship is contextualized within the seasons - winter, spring, summer, and fall - which represent the ever-changing nature of life and the passing of time.


Overall, "Sorrow's End" is a poignant reflection on growing up, grappling with mortality, and experiencing a range of emotions that come with the passage of time.

"I have not personally experienced


The deaths the stuff that make us old enough."
The loss of loved ones is what makes us mature.


Old enough to love a boy whose name I still don't know.
Once mature enough, we become capable of falling in love with someone even if we don't know their name.


We traded voices, blurted accidents.
We switched roles, and confessed unintentionally.


Brutal winter froze through spring's slow crawl.
Winter's harshness persisted and made time drag on slowly like the pace of spring.


In The summers burn, the impending fall.
During the sweltering heat of summer, we anticipate the coming autumn.
