Distance
Mammoth WVH Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You found a place
That's better for you
Then this rock we're living on
I'm so nervous
Don't know my place
A life without you, I'm not ready to move on
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
Oh
I'm so tired
Can't see your face
My memory of you
Slowly fades when I go on
I'm still crying
Don't want this place
A world without you
I don't think I'll ever move on
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
Whoa yeah
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
No matter what the distance is I will be with you
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
Whoa yeah
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
No matter what the distance is you'll be OK
I'm so happy, you found a place
The lyrics of Mammoth WVH's song Distance heavily revolve around themes of separation, heartbreak, and loss. The song describes the singer's sorrow after someone has left his life, and he finds himself struggling to come to terms with this sudden change. The chorus declares the singer's loyalty and commitment to their relationship no matter what the distance is. His love is unconditional and he will always be there to support his loved one, even if they are miles apart.
The opening lines, "I'm so happy, you found a place that's better for you than this rock we're living on," highlight the singer's desire for his loved one's happiness, even if it means losing them. While the song’s narrator appears resigned to his loved one's departure, he is unable to move on - "A life without you, I'm not ready to move on" - and the memory of his loved one is constantly with him. His commitment is strong, even if the distance between them will be great.
“Distance” was also written as a tribute to his deceased father, guitarist Eddie Van Halen. The song came after months and months of mourning and healing, in hopes of helping anyone seeking guidance with their own feelings of loss.
