Far From Home
Five Finger Death Punch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Another nights ends, end as quickly as it goes
The memories are shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
To break me down
To break me down
Your heavens trying everything
Your heavens trying everything
To break me, down
The song "Far From Home" by Five Finger Death Punch is a heart-wrenching song that talks about the feeling of being lost and not knowing where one's home is. The lyrics talk about the memories being like shadows and ink on the page, which implies that the memories are fading away and the singer is struggling to keep them alive. The phrase "carnival of souls" gives the idea that life is a big circus with so many events happening, but they are empty without a true home to reach. The chorus repeats the line "Your heaven's trying everything to break me down," which could mean that the singer is feeling distant from their higher power or beliefs, and they feel like everything is against them.
The lyrics also mention the places the singer has been and the things they've seen, but everything feels like shattered dreams. They mention the faces of people they will never see again, which could be a reference to people who have passed away, adding to the loss and sadness in the song. The repeating phrase "Your heaven's trying everything to keep me out" could imply that the singer feels like they don't belong anywhere, and everything is working against them.

Another day in this carnival of souls
Another day of life feeling like a never-ending show of meaningless chaos
Another nights ends, end as quickly as it goes
The nights come and go so fast that each morning feels like just another continuation of the same meaningless carnival
The memories are shadows, ink on the page
All the memories from the past are fading away and becoming just like shadows or ink on a page, nearly forgotten and meaningless
And I can't seem to find my way home
I feel lost and disconnected from the place that is supposed to be my safe haven and resting place
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
It feels like some higher force is keeping me from finding my way back home and blocking every path that I take
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
I have traveled so much and seen so many things but every experience has just led to more shattered dreams and lost connections. I feel like a stranger in the world, surrounded by people I will never see again, unable to find my way back home
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
It feels like this higher force is actually trying to punish me by breaking me down and tearing me apart
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
It is as if this force is actually trying to keep me far away from where I want to be and everything I care about
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out

To break me down
Your heavens trying everything
Your heavens trying everything
To break me, down
The final lines are repeating the idea that the higher power is doing everything they can to break me down and make me feel lost and disconnected

Another day in this carnival of souls
Another nights settles in, as quickly as it goes
The memories are shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
'Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To break me down
To break me down
To break me down
Your heavens trying everything
Your heavens trying everything
To break me, down
