Far Away
SaintWay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A familiar rumble followed by a sigh
Like the blessing of a spark
When you're afraid of the dark
You only lasted for a flash
Have you only fallen asleep?
Did you only close your eyes in disbelief?
You're not going far away
Far away from here
I will hold my breath and make us reappear
On a patch of sand
Another life, another place
Far away from here
I don't need no just in case
I don't need another damn brick in my solid base
No longer need your spark
To light my way through the dark
But you went and took it far away
Far away from here
I will hold my breath and make us reappear
On a patch of sand
Another life another place
Far away from here.
It has never been this dark
I could really use your spark
Far away from here
I will hold my breath and make us reappear
On a patch of sand
Stay that way
For days and days
Just tell me when I'm needed and at what place
Far away from here
In the song "Far Away," the artist is expressing his feelings regarding someone who has left him, and he cannot help but wonder if they have fallen asleep or closed their eyes in disbelief. He is awaiting a response from the person he is referring to, and he compares their communication to "the blessing of a spark when you're afraid of the dark." The artist acknowledges that despite the person's brief presence, they made a significant impact in his life, even though the impact was only for a flash of time.
Furthermore, the artist acknowledges that he no longer requires the person's support in his life, as he no longer needs their "spark" to navigate his way through the darkness. However, the artist is still pained by the fact that the person went far away with that spark, leaving him in darkness. At this point, the artist expresses his pain and displays his hope that things will get better. He mentions that he will hold his breath and make them reappear in another life, far away from the place where they are now.
Overall, the song expresses sentimentality, loss, and hope. It tells the story of someone who has experienced loss while also acknowledging that sometimes it is necessary to let things go.

Somewhat Lyrics:
My words wait for a reply,
A familiar (rumble?) followed by a sigh.
Like the blessing of a spark,
When you’re afraid of the dark.
You only lasted for a flash.
Have you only fallen asleep?
Did you only close your eyes in disbelief?
For a minute I pretend- this is far from the end.
You’re not going far away.
Far away from here,
I will hold my breath and make us reappear.
On a patch of sand,
With way more time to kill (then/and) understand.
Another life. Another place.
With a (na na na?) (know/no) you’re beautiful, thanks.
Far away, from here.
I don’t need no, just in case.
I don’t need another damn break, in my solid base.
(No/Know) all I need’s your spark,
To light my way through the dark.
But you went and took it far away.
Far away from here,
I will hold my breath and make us reappear.
On a patch of sand,
With way more time to kill (then/and) understand.
Another life. Another place.
With a (na na na?) (know/no) you’re beautiful, thanks.
Far away, from here.
It has never been this dark,
I could really use your spark.
Far away from here,
I will hold my breath and make us reappear.
On a patch of sand,
With way more time to kill (then/and) understand.
Stay that way,
For days and days.
Just tell me when (I’m needed and at what place?)
Far away from here.
