Far Away
Johnny Goth Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Locked myself out cant find the key
Everyone is inside except for me
Wait, i can see your face
In the darkest places
Wait, i can't see myself
I'm too far away
I can feel the water
Running down my back
As im drowning in the rain
Down this broken path

Hang tight
We'll shed our skin after daylight
Nothing matters at night
I think everything will be alright
Lifetime flashing before my eyes




I still cant see the sunlight
But i can see your face

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Johnny Goth's song "Far Away" describe a feeling of loneliness and being disconnected from oneself and others. The opening lines set up the theme of feeling locked out, both physically and emotionally. The singer is unable to find the key to let themselves in, while everyone else is safely inside. This sense of isolation is heightened by the darkness of the surroundings, with the only light being that provided by the person the singer sees in "the darkest places."


The second stanza continues the theme of disconnection and distance, with the singer feeling like they are "too far away" to even see themselves. They can only feel the physical sensation of rain running down their back as they are overwhelmed by their surroundings. The chorus provides a glimmer of hope, with the suggestion that everything will be alright once daylight comes and they can shed their skin. However, this hope is tinged with uncertainty, as the singer is still unable to see the sunlight and remains fixated on the face of the person providing them with a glimmer of comfort in the darkness.


Overall, "Far Away" is a powerful depiction of the feelings of loneliness and alienation that can be present even in the midst of a crowd. The contrast between the darkness of the setting and the brightness represented by the other person's face creates a striking image of hope amidst despair.
