FAR AWAY
Force Major Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me

Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last
Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me

Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

Long ago and far away
I dreamed a dream one day
And now that dream is here beside me

Long the skies were overcast
But now the clouds have passed
You're here at last

Chills run up and down my spine
Aladdin's lamp is mine
The dream I dreamed was not denied me

Just one look and then I knew
That all I longed for long ago was you

Just one look and then I knew




That all I longed for long ago
Was you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Far Away by Force Major elicit the feelings of a dream come true. The lines "Long ago and far away, I dreamed a dream one day," portray a distant wish that the singer held, something they had fantasized about but thought would never happen. The dream has now come true as they sing, "And now that dream is here beside me." The singer is expressing satisfaction that what they had dreamed of has finally come to fruition, and they acknowledge the journey to this point. The two stanzas emphasize the difference between the barren past and the present state of fulfillment the singer has achieved. The image of overcast skies and heavy clouds in the past, and the now passing clouds echoes the idea of hope and optimism for the future.


The imagery of the song continues with a description of chills running up and down the singer's spine, emphasizing the emotional height of the moment, and that they've realized this dream was not just about any desire but a specific longing which they elaborately describe with the lines: "Just one look and then I knew, that all I longed for long ago was you." The song explores themes of hope, persistence, and the possibility of dreams coming true through the retelling of a dream that manifests itself and culminates in a sense of completeness. The song's lyrics depict the power of having a vision, pursuing it, and ultimately finding fulfillment, in line with what Aladdin's lamp symbolizes in the song.

In the distant past and in a distant place


I dreamed a dream one day
I had a vision or desire


And now that dream is here beside me

Lyrics:

Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (place for me)
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains
But it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away

I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you, when He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied

So far away (so far)
And I need you to know
So far away (so far)

Tan Lejos
So Far Away

Nunca temió por nada
Never feared for anything

Nunca avergonzado, pero nunca libre
Never shamed, but never free

Una vida que sanó a un corazón roto con todo lo que podía
A life that healed the broken heart with all that it could

Vivió una vida sin fin
Lived a life so endlessly

Vio más allá de lo que otros ven
Saw beyond what others see

Traté de curar tu corazón roto con todo lo que pude
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could


¿Te quedarás?
Will you stay?
¿Te quedarás lejos por siempre?
Will you stay away forever?

¿Cómo puedo vivir sin los que amo?
How do I live without the ones I love?

El tiempo sigue pasando, las hojas del libro se queman
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Lugar y fecha siempre en mi mente
Place and time always on my mind

Tengo tanto que decir, pero estás tan lejos
I have so much to say, but you're so far away


Planes de lo que nuestro futuro aguarda
Plans of what our futures hold

Mentiras tontas de envejecer
Foolish lies of growing old

Parece que somos tan invencibles, la verdad es tan fría
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold

Una canción final, una última petición
A final song, a last request

Un capítulo perfecto enterrado
A perfect chapter laid to rest

De vez en cuando trato de encontrar un lugar en mi mente
Now and then I try to find a place in my mind


Donde puedas quedarte
Where you can stay

Puedas quedarte despierto para siempre
You can stay awake forever


¿Cómo puedo vivir sin los que amo?
How do I live without the ones I love?

El tiempo sigue pasando, las hojas del libro se queman
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Lugar y fecha siempre en mi mente
Place and time always on my mind

Tengo tanto que decir, pero estás tan lejos
I have so much to say, but you're so far away


Duerme tranquilo, no tengo miedo
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid

Los que amamos están aquí conmigo
The ones that we love are here with me

Reserva un lugar para mí
Lay away a place for me

Porque tan pronto esté hecho, estaré en mi camino
'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way

Para vivir eternamente
To live eternally


¿Cómo puedo vivir sin los que amo?
How do I live without the ones I love?

El tiempo sigue pasando, las hojas del libro se queman
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Lugar y fecha siempre en mi mente
Place and time always on my mind

Y la luz que dejaste permanece, pero es tan difícil mantenerse
And the light you left remains, but it's so hard to stay

Cuando tengo tanto que decir y estás tan lejos
When I have so much to say and you're so far away


Te amo, ya estabas listo
I love you, you were ready

El dolor es fuerte y los impulsos aumentan
The pain is strong and urges rise

Pero te veré cuando él me deje
But I'll see you when He lets me

Tu dolor se ha ido, tus manos están desatadas
Your pain is gone, your hands untied


Tan lejos (tan lejos)
So far away (so far away)

Y necesito que sepas
And I need you to know

Tan lejos (tan lejos)
So far away (so far away)

Y necesito que, necesito que sepas
And I need you to, need you to know

I lost my mom today and this song is helping me deal with losing her. So much emotion and love.

@trinitrotolueno9036

My deepest condolences 🙏

@scarehalo5

Speaking from personal experience, I lost my great grandmother, she was my sort of mother figure.

These wounds don't heal quickly. You'll first be numb, then bawl your eyes out in remorse & in grief, then it hits a little less but the burden will carry for quite a while, years even before it becomes a twinge.
Losing family is never easy, cherish the memories. Do what you can to honor them, but always go through the process of grief in its full extent.
