Miles Apart
Secret Keeper Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How did this happen that years would turn to days
Who would have guessed that miles would disappear
But things aren't changing cause I'm still here
Lying awake these thoughts won't forsake
Hands shaking, head aching
My thoughts are miles apart
Lying awake these thoughts won't forsake
My thoughts are miles apart
Why do friends come and go despite this stagnant state?
Why do friends come and go despite this stagnant fucking state?
My mind swarms with thoughts from the past
A dream to life and it happened so fast
It happened so fast
Lying awake these thoughts won't forsake
Hands shaking, head aching
My thoughts are miles apart
You see these past six years I've lost many things
But through it all one thing remained true
So I'll keep my faith, I won't fall to hollow trends
And see if this so called fate ever ends




I swear
I won't let go of this feeling in my chest

Overall Meaning

In the song "Miles Apart," Secret Keeper explores the idea of time and distance. The first verse highlights the idea of time slipping away and how that can have unexpected consequences. The lines "How did this happen that years would turn to days / Who would have guessed that miles would disappear" suggest a feeling of disbelief at how quickly time has passed and how much has changed.


The chorus contains the repeated refrain "My thoughts are miles apart," indicating a sense of disconnect between the singer and someone or something else. The lines "Why do friends come and go despite this stagnant state? / Why do friends come and go despite this stagnant fucking state?" express frustration at the idea that even though things may seem unchanging, people and circumstances still shift and change.


The second verse provides some insight into the singer's personal situation. The lines "You see these past six years I've lost many things / But through it all one thing remained true" suggest that the singer has faced significant challenges and loss but has clung on to something (perhaps a relationship or a belief) that has helped them through.


Overall, "Miles Apart" deals with the passage of time and the unpredictable nature of our relationships and life circumstances. Through its relatable lyrics and emotive melody, the song captures the bittersweet feeling of looking back on the past while still hoping for a better future.
