FAR AWAY
Lasgo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far away and anywhere
Time after time you always shine
Through dark of night calling after me
And wherever I climb
Far away and anywhere
You raise me high beyond the sky
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu Venite Spiritus
Far away beyond the sky
Whenever I cry
Far away and anywhere
You hear me call when shadows fall
Your light of hope showing me the way
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
Venite Spiritu Venite Spiritus
Far away beyond the sky
The lyrics to Lasgo's song Far Away are about the idea of having a guiding light or a guardian angel that is always present, no matter how far the subject of the song may wander. The opening lines of the song state, "Wherever I go, Far away and anywhere, Time after time you always shine," indicating that the presence being addressed is a constant source of light and comfort for the singer. The second stanza continues this idea, with the subject of the song being lifted high and protected from the storms of life: "And wherever I climb, Far away and anywhere, You raise me high beyond the sky, Through stormy night lifting me above."
The third stanza shifts slightly, with the subject of the song turning to address the presence directly: "Whenever I cry, Far away and anywhere, You hear me call when shadows fall, Your light of hope showing me the way." Here, it seems that the presence being addressed is more of a comforter or counselor, helping the subject find their way through difficult times. The chorus, "Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus," is Latin for "Come, Holy Spirit, and send from heaven," and adds a spiritual or religious dimension to the song.
Overall, Far Away is a song about finding comfort and guidance from a higher power, whether that be a guardian angel, the Holy Spirit, or another entity entirely. Through its lyrics, it speaks to the human desire for connection and comfort, and the idea that no matter how far we may stray, there is always a guiding light to help us find our way home.
