Far Away
Sophie Maurin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Far away, I wanna go
I wanna go, some day
Some day (ay ay ay ay)
Je ne sais pas si je vais y aller
Dans ma tête ou avec mes pieds
Je m'imagine une vie peper and salt
Sans reflets sur le glacé de mes ray-bans
Je glane, je glane, je me pavanne
Far away, far away, far
Far away, I wanna go
I wanna go, some day
Some day (ay ay ay ay)
Je ne sais pas si je vais y aller
En solo ou accompagnée
Dormant le jour, marchant la nuit
Je m'en ivre sans vodka sans whisky
Sur les eaux calmes de mon water-bed
Je traîne, je traîne et tu m'entraînes
Far away, far away, far
Far away, I wanna go
I wanna go, some day
Some day (ay ay ay ay)

(Far away, far away, far

Far away, I wanna go
I wanna go, some day
Some day (ay ay ay ay)

The song "Far Away" by Sophie Maurin is a wistful and dreamy track that expresses the longing to escape from one's current reality and go to a faraway place. The song is a mix of French and English lyrics, and it begins with the repetition of "Far away" and the desire to go there someday. The singer then questions whether she will actually make the trip in her head or with her feet. In her mind she imagines a life that is "pepper and salt" without the reflections on her Ray-Bans. She talks about roaming around and enjoying her independence without the influence of alcohol.
Throughout the song, Sophie expresses her desire to travel solo or with someone, and to wander without sleep during the night on the calm waters of her waterbed. She is energized and happy to be carried away by her thoughts as she repeats "Far away" in her vocalized melody. The song is a beautiful blend of dream-pop and indie rock instrumentation that complements the lyrics perfectly. The song's meaning is simple but also relatable, as many of us have felt the urge to escape from our current lives and routines and go to a far-off place where we can be free to be ourselves and do whatever we want without any obligations.
