FAR AWAY
Martin Stahl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Drifting far away
Where are we now?
Hiding in this crazy space
Nothing left to say
We ease our minds
Floating high above this place

Here we'd get through
There are no decisions to be made
I'd still have you
Our love and trust would never fade

No I won't come down
The world is beautiful up here
No I won't come down
There's too much pain beneath us dear
I know we ought to finally let it go
But on the ground I'm nothing without you

By the morning
You will be gone
And so will all the vows we made
Time is calling
You will move on
And I'll be heading back again

Down there I'm through
Those games are too hard for me to play
I would miss you
Knowing that I wasted us away

No I won't come down
The world is beautiful up here
No I won't come down
There's too much pain beneath us dear
I know we ought to finally let it go
But on the ground I'm nothing without you




I know we ought to finally let it go
But on the ground I'm nothing without you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Martin Stahl's song "Far Away" is a passionate and emotional portrayal of two individuals drifting away from each other emotionally. The opening lines, "drifting far away, where are we now?" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The two individuals seem lost and uncertain about their relationship, and they find comfort in space where they don't have to make any decisions. The lyrics "nothing left to say, we ease our minds, floating high above this place" shows how they are trying to escape the emotional turmoil of their relationship by floating away.


The chorus "No, I won't come down, the world is beautiful up here, No, I won't come down, there's too much pain beneath us dear" is a reflection of their desire to stay in their emotional escape and avoid the inevitable pain that they might feel on the ground. The lyrics "by the morning, you will be gone, and so will all the vows we made, time is calling, you will move on, and I'll be heading back again" reflect the reality of their situation. They know that their relationship is coming to an end, and they will have to face the consequences of their decisions.


Lastly, the lyrics "I know we ought to finally let it go, but on the ground I'm nothing without you" shows how difficult it is for them to let go of each other. Even though they know that it's time for them to move on, they feel incomplete without each other. The song is a portrayal of the complex and difficult emotions that come with letting go of someone you love.
