It's 9,000 miles back to you
I still feel like home is in your arms




Overall Meaning

Pendulum's song "9000 Miles" is a heartfelt tribute to a long-distance relationship where the singer is separated by an enormous distance from his/her loved one. The lyrics convey a deep sense of longing and nostalgia for that person, as the singer still feels like home is in his/her arms, even though he/she is thousands of miles away. The 9000 miles back to the person suggests that the singer is acutely aware of the physical distance separating them, and somehow amplifies the emotional pain of being so far from the person who means so much to him/her.


It's also possible to interpret the lyrics more broadly, as a meditation on the nature of distance and the way it shapes human relationships. The theme of homesickness is a universal one, and the notion of being far from home and missing loved ones will resonate with anyone who has ever been away from family or friends, even if it's only a few hours' drive. Ultimately, the song speaks to the enduring power of love in the face of distance and separation, suggesting that, no matter how far apart two people might be, the emotional bond between them can endure.


Line by Line Meaning

It's 9,000 miles back to you
Although we are far apart and separated by a long distance of 9,000 miles, I am still drawn to you and remain committed to reconnecting with you.


I still feel like home is in your arms
Even though I am physically distant from the place I call home, being held in your arms feels like home to me because of the warmth, comfort, and security that you provide me.

I just realized the distance from Perth, where they grew up to London, where they were based when making this is 14400km or 9000 miles.
It makes sense now.

Oh yeah, it's all coming together.
