Més Lluny
Gossos Lyrics

The opening lines of the song by Gossos in Més Lluny (More Far) cleverly question the concept of civilization as something that is more savage than what others perceive it to be. The lines imply how modern society can be suffocating and oppressive, where everyone is equally subdued, and no one cared to acknowledge the other. They highlight the feeling of being trapped where everyone is going about their life, but not in the direction they previously aspired for it. The singer expresses his fears and confusion by not wanting to be a part of that civilization and being fearful of the city.

The chorus of the song 'Cada cop que tanco els ulls em sembla que sóc més lluny' (Every time I close my eyes, it seems like I'm slipping away) is a recurring phrase, which signifies oblivion from reality. The lines create a sense of escape from the world's problems, where the singer's world arises from inside his head. It is as he no longer wants to engage in the preconceptions and expectations of the society around him and be viewed as one of them. There is reluctance in him to a transition towards the artificial formalities of the current civilization's life.

The latter half of the song highlights the city's pressure, where the singer can imagine himself being a thousand miles away from his current location. The lyrics portray a desire to escape the city, and the singer's undisturbed vision for adventure is noticeable. The line 'Rius on perdre’s navegant, sense pressa no hi pots anar' (Rivers where you can get lost sailing, you can't go there without taking your time) contrasts the rushed life in the city with the slow-paced life one can experience in the landscapes. The lyrics show the singer's voluntary exile from the world into his imagination and personal space, which is a common human tendency of our civilization to seek an escape from the problems of the outside world.
