Far and Near
Viper Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't matter 'cause I don't care
I crossed the line I'm not a slave
I have the world to find my way
So I'm running I keep running
I'll go running I'm always running
Save a prayer but not for me
Life is wrong as you can see
I said goodbye to all my friends
So I'm running ain't got money
Always running
Far and near
Twisted souls around the night
Concrete deserts million lights
I look for your changed face
To follow your extinguished trace
Ask yourself try to get something new
Ask yourself try to get something real
So I'm running ain't got money
I'm always running
Far and near
The lyrics to Viper's song "Far and Near" is an introspective look at the life of someone who is running away from their mundane life. The opening lines of "Hey, you! You know who I am, it doesn't matter cause I don't care” sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is questioning their own identity, leaving behind their old life, and searching for something new. They feel as though they have crossed the line and are no longer a slave to the societal norms of conformity. The line, "I have the world to find my way" suggests freedom and independence in choosing one's own path in life.
The chorus of the song expresses the idea of running endlessly: "So I'm running, I keep running, I'll go running, I'm always running." The repeated phrase is symbolic of the journey of self-discovery, a journey that the singer feels will never end. The singer finds no comfort in prayers and religion as "life is wrong as you can see," indicating their disdain towards conventional wisdom.
The second stanza utters a yearning for companionship in the singer's journey of exploration. They describe their experience in "twisted souls around the night, concrete deserts, million lights," a description that conveys the loneliness and emptiness that they experience in the crowded city. The lines "I look for your changed face, to follow your extinguished trace" suggests a desire for someone who will be able to understand their journey and be their companion.
