FAR AWAY
The Scorpions Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take your hand and you take my hand
Let's try to learn to fly
Here what I say, here what I say
Dream and close your eyes

Too much hate
Too much hate
So many things are wrong
So many ways, so many ways
Flying through the sky forever
into another time

Yesterday so far away
Many miles together
Were looking for a way

Day by day
So far away
All the world
To do the same

So we go together
Will you show me the way
Time has gone
It has gone

Far away, far away

And today
I'll see a way
Follow me we love you
Just listen, what I say

Forget your name and yesterday
Put out your hand
I'll do the same

Now were going to another land
Will you show me the way
Time has gone




It has gone far away
Far away

Overall Meaning

The Scorpions' song Far Away speaks of two individuals who are trying to overcome their differences and unite. The opening lines "Take your hand and you take my hand/Let's try to learn to fly" signify the need to come together and rise above the challenges that come with individuality. The following lines, "Dream and close your eyes/Too much hate/Too much hate/So many things are wrong," suggest that hatred and negativity are the reasons why the world is in turmoil, and the solution could be attained through dreaming and envisioning a better future.


The second verse continues with the theme of overcoming differences as the two parties are "looking for a way" to unite and bring about change. The chorus "Day by day/ So far away/All the world/To do the same" emphasizes the urgency of the need to get rid of hate and work towards a common goal. The final verse speaks of the willingness of the two individuals to forget their past and move forward together. "Forget your name and yesterday/Put out your hand/ I'll do the same/Now we're going to another land" implies a fresh beginning and taking a leap of faith towards a brighter future.

Sir Stashalot

Complete masterpiece. The intro, the vocals, the solos, the bass, the drums... Really doesnt get better.

Freya2021

Michael Schenker wrote the music, Klaus the lyrics, just look at the credits on the album cover... That's why it sounds magical, Michael was sure his stuff would be amazing on Uli's hands.

The opening is just magical!

Ron McNamara

To me,this is one of the most unheralded albums of all time! A magnificent piece of work and this Track, 'Far Away', just blows me away every time I hear it. An extraordinary song! It's beginning and end are beautiful, but the middle just explodes all over the place! The Guitar work is brilliant................loved it the first time I heard it ('What the Fuck is that?") and still flog it! Can't say enough good things about it!
The Album is up there with one of the best recorded ever!
It should be re-mastered and brought to the Public's attention!
