Far Away
Junip?? Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
just to feel alive again
Pushing foward through the night
aching chest and blurry sight
It's all far so far away
Cold wind blows into the skin
Who are you trying to impress
steadily creating a mess
The lyrics to Junip’s song Far Away seem to deal with the idea of pushing oneself to the limit in order to feel alive again. The imagery of stepping in front of a runaway train signifies the recklessness and boldness of such an act, which appears to be an attempt to break free from a stagnant and mundane existence. The line 'Pushing forward through the night, aching chest and blurry sight' further suggests the hardships and sacrifices that come along with such a decision.
The chorus, 'It's all far so far away', brings into sharp focus the distance felt by the singer between their current experience and their ultimate goal. The cold wind blowing into the skin emphasizes this tangible sense of distance and separation, from both the situation and from oneself. The lines, 'Can't believe the state you're in, who are you trying to impress, steadily creating a mess' suggest that the cost of such a bold act may have negative consequences, such as the creation of a mess or the showcasing of a character that is not truly authentic.

***** totally agree, seems people need to have an open mind when an actor tries a new genre.

While I understand perfectly your opinion, I like how Ben Stiller can freely navigate between utterly appaling movies and utterly mind-blowing movies. I liked him in Zoolander, Dodgeball or Mystery Men, I absolutely loved him in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Go Ben !! Do what you want!! Be crazy!! ;)
