From Afar
Social Cig Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't take it too seriously
Not all the time I have it
It filters out the scene
So
You′re shifting with the air
Who were you yesterday?Last winter we were friends
Now, I'm still in Riverwest
I will love you from afar
I will love you from afar
Ah ah ah
But will you love me from afar
Will you love me from afar
Ah ah ah
So don't you blink
You′ll
Start to think
You′re alone
Cuz if you start to blink
Your
Heart will shrink
On its own
You're not alone
Out of control
You′re not alone
Out of control
When i was sitting on the fence
There were conditions there
Better leave the memory alone
You see you're now apart of it
The person I′ve become
He will love you from afar
He will love you from afar
Ah ah ah
But will love him from afar
Will you love him from afar
Ah ah ah
So don't you blink
You′ll
Start to think
You're alone
Cuz if you start to blink
Your
Heart will shrink
On its own
You're not alone
Out of control
You′re not alone
Out of control
The song "From Afar" by Social Cig starts with the lines "I've got a filthy habit, don't take it too seriously, not all the time I have it, it filters out the scene." This can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems to imply that the singer has a bad habit that they acknowledge is not beneficial to them, and that it helps them tune out the world temporarily.
The rest of the song revolves around the theme of distance in relationships. The chorus repeats "I will love you from afar, but will you love me from afar?" The singer seems to be longing for someone, and willing to love them even from a distance. However, there is a sense of uncertainty, as they question whether the other person will be willing to reciprocate their feelings while still being apart.
The lyrics "so don't you blink, you'll start to think you're alone, cuz if you start to blink, your heart will shrink on its own" could be interpreted as a reminder to stay present and not let negative thoughts take over, as they could lead to a feeling of isolation and sadness.
Overall, the song "From Afar" by Social Cig conveys a sense of yearning for connection and recognition, while acknowledging the challenges and uncertainties that come with distance.

I’ve got a filthy habit
I have a bad habit
Don't take it too seriously
Don't worry about it too much
Not all the time I have it
I don't have the habit all the time
It filters out the scene
It helps me ignore what's happening around me
You're shifting with the air
You're changing so much, it's hard to keep up
Who were you yesterday?
I don't recognize who you've become
Last winter we were friends
We used to be close
Now, I'm still in Riverwest
But I haven't left this place
I will love you from afar
I still care for you, but I can't be close
But will you love me from afar
Do you still care for me?
So don't you blink
Don't miss a thing
You'll start to think
You'll start to feel alone
You're not alone
You're not the only one feeling this way
Out of control
Feeling overwhelmed
When I was sitting on the fence
When I couldn't make a decision
There were conditions there
There were factors holding me back
Better leave the memory alone
It's best not to dwell on the past
You see you're now apart of it
But you've become a part of my memories
He will love you from afar
He still cares for you, but can't be close
But will love him from afar
Do you still care for him?
Cuz if you start to blink
If you miss a thing
Your heart will shrink
You'll feel more alone
