Far
Longpigs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never had a moment anybody waits in line
But I'd kill for this feeling yet again
Seen you drenched in rubber
Pushing out your clothes so frightening
You made for the day you're getting out

Far and I'm in love again
Far cause I'm going to wear it out
Far and I'm in love again
Far cause I know no-ones going to show you how
But I found out

I never thought to question leather in a wholesome way
But it's growing in your brain now put it away
Dressed you in cardboard box to suit the time of day
But I never get the chance to wear it out

Far and I'm in love again
Far cause I'm going to wear it out
Far and I'm in love again
Far cause I know no-ones going to show you how
But I found out

No ones going to tell you why
But I've got mine she's gonna hold me on
Completely disgraceful, your crying is watering something

Far and I'm in love again
Far cause I'm going to wear it out




Far and I'm in love again
Far cause I know no-ones going to show you how, but I found out

Overall Meaning

The Longpigs' song "Far" is a passionate and intense piece of music. The lyrics tell a story of desiring something that one has never experienced before, and the yearning to feel it again. The first verse speaks of never having been in a situation that is coveted, yet willing to go to any lengths to experience that feeling once again. The second verse presents the image of someone dressed in rubber and pushing out their clothes, symbolizing their desire to break free from the limitations of their life. They are waiting for the day when they can escape and be their true selves.


The chorus declares the singer's love, but the "far" repeated throughout suggests distance or separation. The last line, "But I found out," implies that the singer has discovered something important or has come to a realization about their love or their desire. The bridge offers little clarity to the situation, but it suggests that the singer has found someone who will comfort them, perhaps in a time of personal crisis.


The song can be read on multiple levels. On one hand, it is a love song, expressing the singer's feelings for someone. On another, it could be interpreted as a commentary on the ways in which society places strictures on individuality, limiting people's ability to express themselves. Finally, it could be a personal confession of desire, for an experience that they have never had before, but long to feel.
