So Far Away
Parker Theory Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One day seems too long
Wake me up from this dream and let me know
Will I see you again
Because now your
So far away
The motionless silence here keeps me waiting
Words don't need a reason why
But your always on my mind
Breathe deeply
I hear you
Calling my name
The lyrics of Parker Theory's song "So Far Away" convey a feeling of longing and distance. The singer falls asleep by a window, perhaps looking out at the world outside, or hoping for a glimpse of someone special. The day feels too long and the silence around the person makes them restless. There is a yearning for connection and the need for reassurance that the other person is still there, that they will see each other again. The lyrics reflect the idea that time and distance can make a relationship feel unattainable, yet the memory of the other person persists. The broken mirror, perhaps a symbol of a lost image, makes things hard, but the presence of the other person remains constant in the singer's mind.
The lyrics reflect the emotional distance between the singer and the person they long for. There is a sense of resignation that maybe things may not come to fruition, yet hope remains. Despite the silence and distance between the two, there is a feeling of closeness and familiarity. The singer hears the other person calling their name, signifying that they still have a connection to them, despite the competitive nature of the world around them. The lyrics are poignant, thought-provoking, and touching.
