Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sam Gellaitry’s song “Long Distance” seem simple, but they express a longing for connection with someone who is far away. The song is repetitive, stressing the need to meet this person and emphasizing the gap between their conversations and their physical reality. What starts out as a statement of fact, that they talk to each other, becomes a request to meet- the day when they will be able to hold each other and be together. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase “lly-lly-lly-lly,” which creates a hypnotic almost trance-like feeling. The use of the phrase “meet” which is repeated 16 times, emphasizes the desperate desire for connection that the singer feels with the person he is talking about.
