Far From Home
Goddard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so warm here in town
It′s so warm here in town
I'm so terribly far from home
It's so warm here in town
It′s so warm here in town
I'm so terribly far from home
It′s so warm here in town
I'm so terribly far from home
Like my dress?
It′s so warm here in town
It's so warm here in town
I′m so terribly far from home
Like my dress?
It's so warm here in town
I'm so terribly far from home
It′s so warm here in town
I′m so terribly far from home
The lyrics of Goddard's song "Far From Home" convey the stark loneliness that comes with being far away from home. The repetition of the phrase "It's so warm here in town" underscores the sense of dislocation and alienation the singer feels in their new surroundings. The warmth of the town they are in contrasts with the emotional coldness of feeling alone and displaced.
The repetition of the line "I'm so terribly far from home" underscores the isolation the singer feels from their familiar surroundings. The line "Like my dress?" can also be interpreted as a final attempt to connect with someone - anyone - in this lonely place. The singer is reaching out, hoping to make a connection, even if it's just over a simple question about clothing.
Overall, "Far From Home" is a poignant reflection on the experience of being displaced and far from home. The lyrics capture the emotions that come with uprooting oneself from one's familiar surroundings and trying to make a new life somewhere else.

I can't believe my favourite YouTube channel got deleted. I was looking for a tom vernon track and realized that that a lot of the music in my playlists was gone. What a tragedy. I genuinely thought 2020 couldn't get any worse

It sucks but at the same time we can create new memories and find new tracks and keep going. Don’t get too down. It ain’t over yet.
Mhm
I lost most of my songs cause a majority of them were from this channel. Hey at least we can all share this loss together and it’s a memory that we made together.
