So far away
Ignite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Trying to get away
From the sigh of times
When you've grown up on silent shores
There's so many people that you ignore
Grasping outwards
Trying to reach our goals
We're so far away
Hoping for a change
We're so far away
Well we've been searching
For some sort of truth
To make sense of all the lies
No we're not that naive
Because we've made
We've made our own objections
Grasping outwards
Trying to grab out goals
We're so far away
Grasping in vein
Hoping for a change
We're so far away
We know
We are important
We know
We're not just kids
We know
We're far away from home
We know
We're out of time
We're so far away
We're so far away
In the song "Far away" by Ignite, the singer is expressing his feelings of disconnection and disillusionment from the world around him as he tries to escape from the pressures and expectations of society. He describes the struggle of trying to achieve one's goals and make a meaningful impact in the face of numerous obstacles and distractions that block our path towards success. The singer's sense of loneliness and alienation is amplified by the fact that he has grown up on "silent shores" and thus feels like an outsider in a world that is constantly changing and transforming.
As the lyrics progress, we see that the singer is not simply giving up on his dreams and resigning himself to a meaningless existence, but is instead searching for something deeper and more meaningful. He is seeking a "sort of truth" that will allow him to make sense of all the lies and half-truths that surround him. He acknowledges that he and his peers are not naive, but have "made their own objections" and are fighting to create a better future for themselves and their communities. Despite the challenges they face and the distance they must travel, they know that they are important, that they are not just children, and that they are far away from home and out of time.
The overall message of the song is one of perseverance and determination in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to stay true to their beliefs and to fight for what they know is right, even when the road ahead is unsure and difficult. By acknowledging the struggles and sacrifices they must make, the singer suggests that the journey towards success and fulfillment may be long and arduous, but it is one that is ultimately worth taking.

We're trying to escape from something
From the sigh of times
From the sadness and struggle of current times

We don't have enough time to achieve what we want
We're so far away
We're very distant from where we want to be
