FAR AWAY
Junip Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Step in front of a runaway train
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
can't believe the state your in





Who are you trying to impress
steadily creating a mess

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Junip's song "Far Away" speak about a person who is feeling trapped and suffocated in their mundane day-to-day life. They are so desperate to feel something, anything, that they would willingly step in front of a runaway train just to feel alive again. The imagery of "pushing forward through the night" implies a sense of urgency and determination, while the "aching chest and blurry sight" suggest that this person is struggling both physically and mentally.


As the song progresses, the lyrics speak to the cold, harsh reality of this person’s situation. The cold wind blowing onto their skin is a physical manifestation of the emotional chills they are feeling, while the line "can't believe the state you're in" suggests that this person is experiencing a kind of existential crisis. The question “who are you trying to impress?” implies that this person is making choices based on external factors rather than their own desires, leading them to make a mess of their life.


Overall, the song "Far Away" serves as a reminder that sometimes we get so caught up in our daily routine that we forget to stop and truly live. It urges listeners to take risks and step out of their comfort zones in order to experience something real and truly meaningful.

+Stirb Kartoffel that scene was magic! In terms of story telling, filmmaking, and just being breath taking.

@jakekrynock8270

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

@jeremykuronya4391

cinematic perfection accompanied by an absolutely amazing soundtrack

@xaviergillard9649

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!! ;)
