Far Far Away
Ultimate Fakebook Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You spend a lot of money to catch that lift
And isn't it good too, to not always get all that you want
But we'll be singin' 'boo hoo hoo' if great it's not
'Cause everybody wants it so much better
Than anyone could ever let it be
I guess I should get off it or whatever
[Chorus]
George Lucas, is the Force with us?
Will it save us from heartbreak in 1998?
Demons with the cat claws threaten us with their fake grace
But angels without wings can't take their place
And if it's just a smart bomb in a theater far, far away
Well, we'll be singin' 'woo hoo hoo, oh man that's great!'
'Cause I never thought that this could happen,
That I could ever feel this way again
I know it's kinda dumb but it dosen't matter,
I can't hold it in
[Chorus]
George Lucas, is the Force with us?
Will it save us from heartbreak in 1998?
George Lucas, don't lose your focus
'Cause the theaters will be full come what may
The lyrics of Ultimate Fakebook's song "Far Far Away" are a commentary on the overwhelming desire to have a perfect life that is better than anyone else's. It speaks to the human tendency to try and live up to someone else's script, often at great personal and financial cost. The chorus plays off the pop culture obsession with the Star Wars franchise and wonders if the promises of the Force will be enough to protect us from heartbreak in 1998.
The song is a bittersweet reminder that life is never going to be perfect, no matter how hard we try or what kind of movies we watch. It acknowledges the presence of threats and challenges from fake grace to demons with cat claws, but also highlights the importance of finding enjoyment in life. The line, "if it's just a smart bomb in a theater far, far away," shows that even within the perils of our world, we can still find great pleasure in the stories we tell ourselves.
Overall, "Far Far Away" is a commentary on the human condition - we all want something better, but sometimes we need to sit back and realize that we already have what we need. The references to Star Wars might seem superficial, but it's really an acknowledgement of the power of storytelling and the importance of finding joy where we can.
