Far Away
Flowvers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I had the choice then I’d go out on the run
Undone
Leave your thoughts and your money and make sure they’re idle
I hear some pretty words
They sound so clear but my god are they absurd
And I heard that if a fallen a tree meant so much to me
Take me far away
I’m far too young to have this much to say
I’ve been born back through the sight of you
I’m too far gone to know to know what’s wrong with my me.
The guns have all been stolen
Sold to the highest bidder at the auction
In the corner of the room
She went to consume all evening
Take me far away
I’m far too young to have this much to say
I’ve been born back through the sight of you
I’m far too gone to know to know what’s wrong...
Cradle me discreetly
Say everything that you have against me
I won’t be heard
I won’t be seen
I'm too far gone if you know what I mean.
Take me so far away
Go on and take me
Take me so far away
Go on and take me
Take me so far away
Go on and take me
I’ve got so much left to say

I hear some pretty words
I am being told pleasant, engaging words
They sound so clear but my god are they absurd

I overheard that if the downfall of a tree could hold significance for me
Take me far away
Transport me to a distant location
I’m far too young to have this much to say

You have brought me back to life through your presence

The guns have all been stolen
The firearms have been taken unlawfully
Sold to the highest bidder at the auction
They were sold to the person who offered the most money during the auction
In the corner of the room
Located in a secluded area of the room
She went to consume all evening
She spent the entire evening indulging in something
Cradle me discreetly
Hold me gently and with secrecy
Say everything that you have against me
Express all the negative thoughts or opinions you hold about me
I won’t be heard
My voice will not be acknowledged or listened to
I won’t be seen
I will remain unnoticed or invisible
I'm too far gone if you know what I mean
I am too deeply lost or damaged, if you understand the implication
Take me so far away
Escort me to an extremely distant place
Go on and take me
Continue and bring me along
I’ve got so much left to say
There are still countless things I need to express
