Miles Away
Violet Nine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It never seems to ever want to dissipate
The lies
Everything that I keep bottled up inside
It all fades away
The seasons change but I still stay the same
I've got what it takes
But now it's up to me to fix this
What never seemed so far
Is now miles away
Keep climbing out the dark
To find that I can breathe
What never seemed so far
I know is out there
Every time I pick myself up
I'm coming to terms I'm miles away
Awake
From the pressures that this life can hold on you
The heart
Such a fragile figure it can't take no more
This can't be the way
Everything that we say stays the same
Can't take the blame
Now it's how we start to fix this
What never seemed so far
Is now miles away
Keep climbing out the dark
To find that I can breathe
What never seemed so far
I know is out there
Every time I pick myself up
I'm coming to terms I'm miles away
I'm searching
I'm waiting
I'm fading
I'm broken
I never thought I'd get this far
Chasing the safest places
I will never let it get the best of me
I'm running miles inside my mind
Tear down the walls I'm building
What never seemed so far
Is right in front of me
What never seemed so far
Is now miles away
Keep climbing out the dark
To find that I can breathe
What never seemed so far
I know is out there
Every time I pick myself up
I'm coming to terms I'm miles away
In Violet Nine's "Miles Away," the lyrics express feelings of pain, lies, pressure, brokenness, and the struggle to pick oneself up and keep moving forward. The first verse begins with the acknowledgement that pain and lies never seem to dissipate, and the singer is keeping it all bottled up inside. However, the chorus offers an optimistic tone, suggesting that what once seemed impossible is now within reach, and with each step forward, the singer realizes they are miles away from where they started. The second verse shifts towards the heart as a fragile figure that can't take any more pressure. The lyrics suggest that something needs to change because everything stays the same. The bridge expresses the singer's search for safety and their desire to tear down the walls they've built. The final chorus ends with the realization that what once seemed impossible is right in front of them.
