Far Away
J. Gonzalez Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step in front of a runaway train just to feel alive again
Pushing forward through the night, aching chest and blurry sight

It's so far, so far away
It's so far, so far away

Cold wind blows into the skin
Can't believe the state you're in

It's so far, so far away
It's so far, so far away

Who are you trying toï»ż impress, steadily creating a mess?

Step in front of a runaway train, just to feel alive again
Pushing forward through the night, aching chest and blurry sight





Aching chest and blurry sight, aching chest and blurry sight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Far Away" by J. Gonzalez seem to describe a person who is going through a difficult and trying time, and is willing to take extreme measures just to feel alive again. The opening verse depicts this person as someone who would step in front of a runaway train just to get that adrenaline rush, indicating a strong desire to overcome their struggles and find some sort of meaning or satisfaction in life. The following lines about pushing forward through the night with an aching chest and blurry sight also suggest that the person is determined to keep going despite the pain and obstacles they may face.


The chorus, which repeats the phrase "It's so far, so far away," seems to reflect the person's feelings of distance and disconnection from the world around them. They may feel isolated or alone in their struggle, and the distance they feel from others may make their situation even more difficult to handle. The lines about the cold wind blowing into the skin and not being able to believe the state they're in further emphasize this sense of disorientation and confusion.


The last verse is more confrontational in nature, with the lyrics asking who the person is trying to impress and suggesting that they may be making things worse for themselves by doing so. Despite this, the chorus repeats once more, highlighting the recurring theme of distance and isolation that runs throughout the song.


Overall, "Far Away" is a striking and powerful depiction of someone who is struggling to find their place in the world and is willing to take risks to do so. The lyrics suggest a sense of desperation and longing for something more, as well as a feeling of detachment from others and the world at large.

I remember being blown away when going to Mexico in the game. It was a masterpiece of narrative and music.
