Prior to being a recording artist, he was a record store owner and a club DJ at a nightclub in Salt Lake City as a way to make ends meet for him and his wife. After he and his wife moved to San Francisco he landed a job as a A&R man at OM records, where in addition to reviewing demos for the label he also submitted his own material, which would pay off big time for him. In 2001 he went from behind the desk to behind the turntables and the recording studio as an artist in his own right. In 2003 Kaskade released his first album, "It's You It's Me", which was well received by critics.
It would be his follow up, "In The Moment" in 2004, that would put Kaskade on the map. The first single off the set "Steppin' Out" would become a major hit on the Dance Radio Airplay that year as well as a top 10 hit on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart. His biggest breakthrough would come the week of May 14, 2005, when his follow up, "Everything," would go all the way to #1 on the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart.
So far away
Kaskade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't wanna go back out from where I came
Open up my eyes for a moment and I see
Everything around from is staring back at me
Sitting out here and time is standing still
Waiting in this cube with an hour left to kill
All my life they were saying it's my face
Live for the night
Suffer the day
Run from the light
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
Live for the night
Suffer the day
Run from the light
So far away
So far away
So far away
Live for the night
Suffer the day
Run from the light
So far away
So far away
The lyrics of "So Far Away" by Kaskade and Seamus Haji ft. Haley hold a deep meaning about the struggles of life and the desire to escape from them. The song talks about wanting to escape from the mundane routine of life, where every day is the same, and nothing is exciting. The singer is sitting in a car and doesn't want to go back where they came from, possibly indicating that the place they were before was just as dull and unexciting as where they are now. They open their eyes for a moment and see everything around them staring back, which could signify how they feel trapped or suffocated by their surroundings. They're waiting for an hour to pass, but time seems to stand still, emphasizing how dull their life is.
The chorus "Live for the night, suffer the day, run from the light, so far away" speaks volumes about the singer's desire to escape from a life that doesn't give them the fulfillment they need. They feel like they're just living to get through the day and can only find excitement and enjoyment during the night. Running from the light could mean they're running away from the responsibilities that the day brings, and they want to stay in the darkness where they can forget their worries. The repetition of "so far away" further emphasizes the desire to escape and distance themselves from their present life.
