Far Away
Haystak And Jelly Roll Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish I was far away
So far away from here
Forget about the pain in my life I just wanna take flight
And make it all disappear
Cuz theres nothing to gain when you fight
And your prayin for your life
And everything reappears
Lil mama was a monster dog, cook clean
She had that A1 head, sex machine
I admit I tripped a lil bit and bought her some shit
But that was my main chick ya know what I mean?
We used to roll an get blowed
And now we fuss and fight
And it's the same shit every fuckin night
ā€˜Daaamn, what kinda life is this?
Stop screamin, you bout ta wake the baby up bitch!'
As a result of this we end up in different houses
You back out at ya mommas, I'm back out on the town
Maybe one day one of us will listen
We can sit down with the puzzle put the pieces in position
But for now we cant even have a conversation
Without it turning into a confrontation
Back in the day we used to go at it
Like the contender and the champ
But now it got me feelin like
ā€˜Pshhh. daaaamn.'

I wish I was far away
So far away from here
Forget about the pain in my life I just wanna take flight
And make it all disappear
Cuz theres nothing to gain when you fight
And your prayin for your life
And everything reappears

Okay I see Ive had some problems before
But it was my fault I never shoulda trusted the ho
But I was out here kinda young
Tellin folks she was the one
When it was all said and done
I was lookin fuckin dumb
What about her son and her daughter?
I accepted them
But in the end I still really wish the best for them
But as far as they momma go
I swear that I'm astounded though
All the drama that woman caused me
I could drown a ho
But I ain't neva hit a girl in my life
But I learned you cant turn a ho into a housewife
Now she sendin messages like ā€˜Jelly you're avoiding me'
Then I send a message back like ā€˜Bitch you are annoying me'
She just keeps on callin like shes hopin an shit
I'm doin better without you if you ain't noticed it bitch
I cant wait till I'm finally out this hell that I'm livin
On the beach drinkin drinks with umbrellas in it

I wish I was far away
So far away from here
Forget about the pain in my life I just wanna take flight
And make it all disappear
Cuz theres nothing to gain when you fight
And your prayin for your life
And everything reappears

The reality that there would be no
Mending the damage that had been done
And obviously you were not the one
My soul mate, the one I would spend my life with
You were a solid broad but you weren't no wife chick
We had some good times
I recollect about the laughs
And I wonder how you can be so bitter about our past




I guess it was just one of those things, you were caught up
Wishin you was far awaaaaayyy...

Overall Meaning

The song "Far Away" by Haystak and Jelly Roll is a portrayal of the emotional pain that comes with a failed relationship. The opening lines "I wish I was far away, so far away from here, forget about the pain in my life, I just wanna take flight and make it all disappear" were the artists' way of expressing a strong desire to move on from the emotional stress of the relationship; they wish to flee from the hurtful memories and start afresh. The line "And everything reappears," suggests that despite the effort to move on, difficult emotions always have their way of resurfacing.


The second verse, which features Jelly Roll, highlights the toxic end of a romantic relationship. The line, "But I ain't neva hit a girl in my life, but I learned you can't turn a ho into a housewife," presents the moral lesson of the song. The pain of the failed relationship presented in the song came as a result of the inevitable realization that the woman was not fit to be a life partner. The line, "On the beach, drinking drinks with umbrellas in it" in the final verse, presents the positive image of a life without the pain of a failed relationship, a hopeful aspiration for the future, as the artists move on and look forward to a brighter day, acknowledging that some things are just not meant to be.
