Distance
Polarsets Lyrics

at ease.

The song Distance by Polarsets is about the experience of being physically distant from loved ones, specifically the feelings of homesickness and longing associated with it. The opening lines "Float past coast, past field, past street, With cool head and itchy feet" describe the feeling of restlessness and desire for adventure while at the same time missing something or someone familiar. The lyrics "My love said she'd be waiting" give a glimmer of hope and comfort, but ultimately the distance from home still weighs heavy on the singer.

The chorus "The distances from home, Lay back, Let it go, Feeling close, Drift slow like a balloon, Time heals any wound, Moving most" highlights the idea that with time, distance becomes more manageable and that there is a certain amount of healing that comes with the passage of time. The singer seems to be trying to embrace this concept, unwilling to be pinned down and ready to explore, yet still tethered to the love they have left behind.

The final lines "All pine most of the way, Return, got it made. All day, This sweet familiar breeze, Rolling underneath... I stay at ease" indicate that even though the physical distance remains, the love and memories of home bring a sense of comfort and calmness. The familiarity of certain smells and sensations, such as a breeze, can provide a sense of connection when physically separated from loved ones.
