Far Away
Kindred The Family Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not gettin' no ass unless the babies sleep.
But even then it seems like we're tryin' to keep.
Tired of payin' taxes, sendin' me mails and faxes.
Tired of crook cops.
Tired of black folk complain that crime don't stop.
I want to go to a place where lovers go.
Do the things that lovers do.
A sweet caress from me to you.
I want to do the things we used to do.
Say the things we used to say.
Just like everyday, all day.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Tired of late sub waitress.
Tired of undeserved fame.
Tired of watchin' somethin' on the T.V. doin' nothin'
Doin' nothin'
I'd rather be lookin' at ya.
I'd rather be layin' with ya
I don't want to forget all the love we captured the day we met.
I want to go to a place where lovers go.
Do the things that lovers do.
No Stress.
No
A sweet caress from me to you.
I want to do the things we used to do.
Say the things we used to say.
Just lay everyday , all day
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
Far away from here
Far away from here
Far away from here
Just jump in a taxi cab, pack our bag and get away fast.
The lyrics of Kindred The Family Soul's song "Far Away" convey a deep longing to escape the mundane and stressful aspects of everyday life and to rediscover the joy and love of a passionate relationship. The opening lines express frustration with the overwhelming challenges of raising a family while trying to maintain intimacy and romance with a partner. The singer is tired of feeling like he has to put everything else on hold just to find a quiet moment alone with his lover. Furthermore, he feels burdened with the weight of societal expectations, such as the pressure to pay taxes and deal with bureaucratic paperwork. He is also understandably weary of the injustices faced by the black community, including crooked cops and the constant narrative that black people are responsible for crime.
The song's chorus is a repeated mantra of the desire to escape to a distant, idyllic location with his partner, where they can fully reconnect. There's a sense that the singer believes that by getting away from the noise and chaos of their current environment, they can find happiness and restoration. They want to reignite the passion they felt when they first met, and the lyrics suggest that a key part of this involves "doing the things that lovers do." Essentially, the song is a plea to break free from the limitations of responsibilities and create new memories together in a more fulfilling space.
Overall, "Far Away" is a poignant exploration of the yearning to escape the frenzy of everyday life and reconnect with the one you love. It's an earnest confession of the difficulties that come with balancing the demands of family and work with the need for intimacy and connection with a partner.

+enlightened child "Those were some of the best soulful, heartfelt jams of the 2000s. It's been trash since then."
Yeah, seems like after the year 2005 it really has been trash since. I mean, damn there really was some great music from Neo-Soul, to alternative that came out in the early 2000s when you think about it:
Sade - By Your Side
Musiq - Halfcrazy
Angie Stone - Wish I Didn't Miss You
Jill Scott - Long Walk
Indie Arie - Brown Skin
Remy Shand - Rocksteady
Nora Jones - Don't Know Why
Raphel Saadiq - Instant Vintage
Sunshine - Heard It All Before
Dido - Thank You
Maroon 5 - Sunday Morning

We need more songs like this because this generation is a mess.

This one of my and my husband's favorite song. Having two kids, we could totally relate. He just passed away in May of last year, and I realized I hadn't listened to this song since then. I had a really good cry, but I still remember all of the love we shared. 😢

I pray you're in a better space now and still smiling on all of the beautiful memories you shared with him ❤ God bless....
