Far From Heaven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the song "Recuerdos" by Far From Heaven, the singer expresses a deep feeling of pain and sadness. He describes how the day and night are meaningless and how his pain is eating away at his soul. He feels that what used to be great has become small, and that greatness now brings fear of disappearing into a sea of lies that gives him a sense of purpose but ultimately harms him. The ending feels eternal to him, and all that is left of him are memories of the harmony and the fights he had with his loved one.
The singer then talks about how no one will see him tomorrow because he will be swimming in the depths of the sea of his loved one. His heart feels like a withered stone, he has nothing to offer, and he seeks peace. He is close to the sea, which he will never forget, and it seems to bring him some comfort. The lyrics of the song are poetic and emotional, and they convey a great sense of despair and pain.
