Kylie Minogue (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
The children will sing
He'll be back at Christmas time
Sometimes in the dream you appear
Outside under the purple sky
Diamonds in the snow sparkle
Our hearts were singing
It felt like Christmas time
Two thousand miles
Is very far through the snow
I'll think of you
Wherever you go
He's gone two thousand miles
It's very far
The snow is falling down
Gets colder day by day
I miss you
I hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
I can hear people singing
It must be Christmas time
The song 2000 Miles by Kylie Minogue is a heart-warming Christmas classic. The song revolves around a long-distance relationship and how the distance between two people gets harder to bear as time passes by. The song opens with the line "He's gone two thousand miles, It's very far" which tells us that the person she is referring to is physically far away from her. As the song progresses, we see how the snow and coldness of winter make it even harder for the singer to bear the separation, but throughout it all, she thinks of her loved one and hopes for a reunion during Christmas time.
The melancholic tone of the song contrasts beautifully with the Christmas setting of the song. The hope for togetherness during the festive season makes it a poignant song that everyone can relate to. The line "Sometimes in the dream you appear" shows the depth of her longing for the person, and how even in her dreams, they aren't separated, highlighting the power of love.
