Miles Away
Madonna(Âóµ±ÄÈ) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just woke up from a fuzzy dream
You never would believe those things that I have seen
I looked in the mirror and I saw your face
You looked right through me, you were miles away

All my dreams they fade away
I'll never be the same
If you could see me the way you see yourself
I can't pretend to be someone else

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

When no one's around then I have you here
I begin to see the picture, it becomes so clear
You always have the biggest heart,
When we're six thousand miles apart

Too much of no sound
Uncomfortable silence can be so loud
Those three words are never enough
When it's long distance love

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we’re at our best when we're miles away

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

I'm alright, don't be sorry, but it's true
When I'm gone you realize
That I'm the best thing that happened to you

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles a-a-away

You always love me more, miles away
I hear it in your voice, we're miles away
You're not afraid to tell me, miles away
I guess we're at our best when we're miles away

So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away
So far away

Overall Meaning

The song "Miles Away" by Madonna is a ballad that describes the difficulties of long-distance love. The song opens with the singer waking up from a dream and feeling disconnected from her partner who is physically far away. She sees her reflection in the mirror and imagines seeing her partner's face, but realizes that he is "miles away" and unable to see her. The chorus repeats the idea that they are strongest and more in love when they are apart.


Throughout the song, the singer yearns for the comfort of her partner's presence, but acknowledges that even when they are together, their love can be strained. She recognizes that the distance between them causes uncomfortable silence and makes clear that hearing "I love you" is not enough to sustain the relationship. Ultimately, the singer reassures her partner that she is okay, but reminds him that she is the best thing that has ever happened to him.


Overall, "Miles Away" conveys a poignant message about the complexities of long-distance love and the challenges of maintaining a relationship when distance is involved.

@King Ivan the Terrible You want to talk about asinine comments? People do both of what everyday? So you're telling me that people try to repeatedly play a song until it hits an arbitrary, meaningless, number and help the homeless everyday? I highly doubt it.
Furthermore, it's not about "morality" it's about usefulness really. If you want to make an artist happy, do something they actually give a damn about. Playing the song until it reaches a million does nothing at all. And that's the point I was making.

At any rate, you can't tell me what the fuck to write to someone. I already wrote it. and I'll continue to write whatever I want to because this is a comment section. You don't see me telling you what to write and you come off like a complete arse.

There's nothing more irrelevant than telling someone they shouldn't have made a comment 3 months ago in a comments section. 😂

Oh, and by the way I'm pretty sure drug counselors main job isn't "coaching people on moralities" it's more stopping people from killing themselves due to their addiction and abuse of drugs. I'd probably actually be great at it, but that's neither here nor there.

That's all I'll say to you because I don't believe in suffering fools. Have a great day and may I suggest reading a book. But you probably won't listen to me any more than I'll listen to you. ✌🏾
