Far From Home
Gareth Emery Gavrielle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mind
Am I keeping in
Time
Cause I can't keep on talking to myself like this,
Like this
Now I realize that it's your voice I miss,
I miss
And I'm screaming no
Sound
Between lost and
Found
And the only face I see is from my darkest dream,
Dark dream
If I make it home, this time I'll never leave
Won't leave
When you can't run fast
I'll walk with you
When you can't stand up
I'll carry you, too
Even in the darkest hour
You'll never be alone
Even when you're far, far, far
From home
When you can't run fast
I'll walk with you
When you can't stand up
I'll carry you, too
Even in the darkest hour
You'll never be alone
Even when you're far, far, far
From home
END
In this song, the singer seems to be experiencing feelings of confusion and loneliness. The lyrics suggest that they may be struggling with their mental health, as they question whether they are "out of [their] mind" and talk to themselves. However, the singer realizes that what they really miss is hearing someone else's voice - perhaps indicating that they feel isolated and disconnected from others. The repeated refrain of "When you can't run fast, I'll walk with you / When you can't stand up, I'll carry you too" suggests that the singer has someone in their life who is supportive and caring, and who they can rely on even in the darkest times. Despite feeling far from home, and lost in their own thoughts, the singer knows that they are not alone.
The song's message about the importance of support and connection is particularly poignant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has left many people feeling isolated and alone. The lyrics encourage listeners to reach out to loved ones and ask for help when they need it, rather than struggling alone. The repeated mention of "home" may also allude to the idea that home is not necessarily a physical place, but rather a feeling of safety and belonging.
