Distances
Red Velvet Line Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in the cage
you have the key to set me free
i don't remember how it were without you
I'm askin now if i believe in you and me
It can be stupid but it is what i need
Everything around me is so distant
even if i try to find you hand.
Distances let grow you inside
even if you feel the pain
just keep your heart tight
and now that you're not with me
you are always in my dreams
i will let you go.away from me

you're in the cage
i can't find the key to set you free
but in you're heart there is no more you and me
no happy ending in this story, only screams
i see your shadow like a ghost desappeared

Everything around me is so distant
i'm still trying to control my head

Distances let grow you inside
even if you feel the pain
just keep your heart tight
and now that you're not with me
you are always in my dreams
i will let you go...

away from me
away from here
i just need to close my eyes and forget the memories of you and me

away from here
away from me
i just need to close my eyes and erase the memories of you and me

i'll leave my memories
there's no more you and me
i need to heal my heart.

Distances let grow you inside
even if you feel the pain
just keep your heart tight
and now that you're not with me




you are always in my dreams
i will let you go...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Red Velvet Line's song "Distances" express the pain and struggle of letting go of someone who once held a significant place in our hearts. The opening lines set the tone for the song, with the singer feeling trapped and confined in their relationship, hoping for freedom. The conflicting emotions come through in the lines, "I don't remember how it were without you/I'm asking now if I believe in you and me." They are questioning whether the relationship is worth saving or if it's time to let go and move on.


The second verse portrays the perspective of the other party, who also feels trapped but is unable to find the key to set themselves free. The line "no happy ending in this story, only screams" suggests that their relationship has been tumultuous and that despite the effort, it's unlikely that the ending will be a happy one. The chorus emphasizes the idea that even though distances may grow between people, the memories shared still remain in our minds and hearts, causing pain, but we must let go, even if it's difficult.


The final verse provides a resolution, with the singer deciding to leave their memories behind to heal their heart. The use of repetition in the lines "away from here, away from me/I just need to close my eyes and erase the memories of you and me" shows their determination to move on, but we can sense the underlying pain in their struggle to let go.


Overall, the song captures the emotions of a difficult break-up and emphasizes the importance of letting go to heal and move on.
