Tricky/South Rakkas Crew Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Global crisis, crisis global
Jump the bottle,
Float far away
Float far away
Float far away
?

Sanctuary, mandatory
Global crisis, crisis global
Jump the bottle
Floats far away
Floats far away
Floats far away
In the cinema, life is minimal
She don't love me like that
She don't love me like that
I try to chose, my shadow moves
But don't last, in my hovercraft
Life is minimal, life is minimal
[Repeat: x3]
Jump the bottle, floats far away
We're gonna last
We're gonna last
We're gonna last
We float far away
We float far away
We're gonna last
We float far away
Far way
Far away
Float far away
Crisis global, global crisis
Float
We're gonna last
We're gonna last
We're gonna last
We're gonna last
We float far away
We float
We float far away
Float far away
Far away
We float far away
We're gonna last
We're gonna last
We float
We float
We float far away
Float
I float
The lyrics of Tricky/South Rakkas Crew's song "Far Away" reflect escapism from worldly problems and depict a sense of alienation from society. The opening lines, "sanctuary, mandatory, global crisis, crisis global" suggest that the world is in a state of turmoil and the need for a sanctuary is essential. The usage of the word "mandatory" indicates the need for a safe place where they can escape. The repeated phrase, "jump the bottle, float far away" can be seen as an attempt to escape from the pain and suffering of reality that they are trying to leave behind.
The lyrics further portray the sense of detachment from the world, with the line "in the cinema, life is minimal" suggesting that the singer feels invisible and disconnected from their environment. They feel misunderstood and not loved, with the line "she don't love me like that" resonating a sense of loneliness. The phrase "life is minimal" is repeated, emphasizing the point that the singer feels detached from their reality.
The song's overall message is one of escapism and the desire to break free from the problems of the world. The repeated phrase, "we float far away, we're gonna last" reinforces the sense of longing for a safe place, a sanctuary, where they can be free from the chaos of the world.
