Far From Home
Tev Woods Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You tell me how I feel inside
But our mirrors are broken and my eyes still open
I pray for a moment of silence
Just a little peace and quiet
But a voice doesn't let me
Do I want it to want me
Now I'm standing here
There is rain in the places that go
Feels like I'm far from home
Far from home
Far from home
Been so long since I felt right
I remember having a dream like
Cause I knew what I needed
And I always succeeded
How did I get lost
Waiting for the chaos to leave my head
Longing for a moment to start again
But the whispers still gone
And my heart won't stop running
Now I'm standing here
Come and dance in a room full of smoke
There is rain in the places that go
Feels like I'm far from home
Far from home
Far from home
The lyrics to Tev Woods feat. Dax's song "Far From Home" explores the theme of feeling lost and disconnected from oneself and the world around them. The opening lines "When I close my eyes, you tell me how I feel inside, but our mirrors are broken and my eyes still open" suggest struggling to self-reflect on personal emotions and seeking reassurance from someone else. The following line "I pray for a moment of silence, just a little peace and quiet, but a voice doesn't let me, do I want it to want me" captures the conflict between wanting to be left alone and wanting the validation of others.
The chorus "Now I'm standing here, come and dance in a room full of smoke, there is rain in the places that go, feels like I'm far from home" emphasizes the feeling of disorientation and confusion. It suggests that the singer is physically present but still feels disconnected and longing for a sense of belonging. The second verse reflects on the past when things were better: "Been so long since I felt right, I remember having a dream like, 'cause I knew what I needed and I always succeeded". However, this reflects on the singer's struggle to cope with the present and finding a way to move forward in life.
In essence, "Far From Home" expresses the emotions of confusion, disorientation, and the longing for a sense of belonging. It talks about the struggle between self-reliance and the need for validation from others, as well as the overwhelming emotions that can leave one feeling lost.

When I close my eyes
Whenever I shut my eyes
You tell me how I feel inside
You let me know my inner feelings
But our mirrors are broken and my eyes still open
Despite my eyes remaining unclosed, the reflection in the mirror is incomplete
I pray for a moment of silence
I crave for a little peace and quietness
Just a little peace and quiet
I just want a little calm and quietness
But a voice doesn't let me
But, an inner voice doesn't let me
Do I want it to want me
Do I crave to be wanted?
Now I'm standing here
Presently, I find myself standing here
Come and dance in a room full of smoke
Join me to dance in a smoke-filled room
There is rain in the places that go
Rain can be felt in where we go
Feels like I'm far from home
I feel like I'm not close to home
Far from home
Very far from home
Been so long since I felt right
It's been a long time since I felt okay
I remember having a dream like
I still recall having a dream
Cause I knew what I needed
I was aware of what I wanted
And I always succeeded
And I usually achieved good results
How did I get lost
How did I become lost?
Waiting for the chaos to leave my head
I waited for the confusion in my mind to go away
Longing for a moment to start again
Desiring for another chance to start afresh
But the whispers still gone
But the whispers are still not there
And my heart won't stop running
My heart continues beating
Now I'm standing here
Currently, I'm standing here
Come and dance in a room full of smoke
Join me to dance in a smoke-filled room
There is rain in the places that go
Rain can be felt in where we go
Feels like I'm far from home
I feel like I'm not close to home
Far from home
Very far from home

When I close my eyes
You tell me how I feel inside
But our mirrors are broken and my eyes open
How did I get lost
I pray for a moment of silence
Just a little peace and quiet
But a voice doesn't let me
Do I want it to want me
Now I'm standing here
Come and dance in a room full of smoke
There is rain in the places that go
Feels like I'm far from home
Far from home
Far from home
Been so long since I felt right
I remember having a dream like
Cause I knew what I needed
And I always succeeded
How did I get lost
Waiting for the chaos to leave my head
Longing for a moment to start again
But the whispers still coming
And my heart won't stop running
Now I'm standing here
Come and dance in a room full of smoke
There is rain in the places that go
Feels like I'm far from home

Hello Tev,
This song has been in my playlist for more than 2 years.
I feel bad when a good artist doesn’t continue his work.
Please make more of these gems!
Regards,
Pavneet (from India)
