Far From Home
K.O.L.O Lyrics

The lyrics to K.O.L.O's "Far from Home" express a desire to escape, to run away from one's current troubles and difficulties. The repeated phrase "I want to go far from home" speaks to a deep longing for change, for a new start, for a way out. However, there is an acknowledgment of defeat in the lines "But I know I already lost" - the singer recognizes that perhaps they have already given up, that they may not be able to find the hope for which they are searching. This sense of resignation is echoed again in the line "Tell me the cost," as if the price of escape may be too high.

The second stanza takes on a more personal note, as the singer states "I don't want to come back here / I don't want to have to face my fears." There is a sense of shame or embarrassment, a worry that returning to one's current situation will only lead to disappointment or failure. This line is followed by a simple and powerful declaration: "I don't want to go." The lyrics to "Far from Home" reflect a universal desire for change, for a way out of difficult situations, but also acknowledge the struggle and difficulty often present in actually achieving that change.
