Distance
The Name feat. Christine and the Queens Lyrics

From a distance the world looks blue and green
Observing the world from a distance, it appears serene and simple

and theres no blacked mountain spy
One cannot see the dark, troubling aspects of the world from afar

from a distance the ocean meets the stream
The beauty of nature is evident when observed from a distance

and the eagle takes to fly
Wildlife is free to roam and soar without human interference

from a distance there is harmony
The feeling of peace is prevalent when viewed from a distance

and it echoes through the land
This sense of harmony is felt across vast expanses

it's the voice of hope
A voice that encompasses positivity and optimism

it's the voice of peace
A voice that encourages serenity and calmness

it's the voice of every man
A voice that resonates with every individual

from a distance we all had enough
From afar, it seems like everyone has all they need

and no one's his enemy
There are no conflicts or adversaries

there are no Gods no pause and no oddysey
There is no need to worship or embark on long journeys when in a state of tranquility

no hungry mouths to feed
There is no poverty or starvation in this peaceful state

from a distance we are your instruments
Those who reside in this seemingly utopian place are the instruments of the world they observe

marching in a common land
They move together in unison towards a common goal

playing songs of hope
Their actions and attitudes create a sense of optimism

playing songs of peace
Their actions and attitudes generate feelings of calmness and serenity

are the songs of every man
These are the qualities that humanity aspires to

from a distance you look like my friend
Despite being involved in a war, everyone appears to be friendly and harbour no ill intent

even though we are at war
Despite the existence of a conflict, peaceful sentiments remain

from a distance i just cannot comprehend
The artist struggles to understand the reason for the ongoing war

what all this war is for
The purpose of the conflict is unclear and confusing

its the hope of hope
The ultimate sense of optimism and positivity

its the love of love
The ultimate sense of affection and solidarity

its the heart of every man
These emotions are fundamental to the human experience

God is watching us
The idea that there is a higher power is ever-present

from a distance
This higher power is viewed from afar

God is watching us
The idea of a higher power continues to be relevant

God is watching
The idea of a higher power maintains its relevance

God is watching us
The idea of a higher power remains present in the minds of those involved in conflict

from a distance
This higher power is viewed from afar
