Far Away
feathers-blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be in your dream
If you'll be in my dream
Still you are so far away from me
So far away from me

My love for you is a sin
If you're not there I never have been
Yeah you are so far away from me So far away from me

I don't have all of the time in the world
But all of the time that I have It is yours
All of the time that I have It is yours

You're so high dancing on your clouds
And I'm down here with this tired old hound
Yeah you are so far away from me
So far away from me

Close my eyes gently
Hold and caress me
My heart is empty
With you so far away from me
So far away from me

I don't have all of the time in the world
But all of the time that I have It is yours
All of the time that I have It is yours

I don't have all of the time in the world




But all the time that
I have It is yours All the time that I have It is yours

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of "Far Away," Feathers-Blue introduces the idea of a mutual dream, suggesting an intimacy that may be unattainable in reality. Despite this, the singer desires this closeness and expresses their longing for the other person who is "so far away" from them. The second verse reveals a love that is sinful in its intensity, and the singer confesses that without the object of their affection, they have not lived a fulfilled life.


The chorus reinforces the main message of the song: the singer has limited time, but what they have is dedicated to their beloved. The third verse contrasts the singer's lowly existence on the ground with the loved one's lofty position in the sky. The final verse begs for physical intimacy through a tender embrace, acknowledging the emptiness the singer feels when the person they love is not present.


Overall, "Far Away" speaks to the universal experience of yearning for someone who is out of reach. The song is a beautiful ballad that explores themes of distance, love, and time all in one.


Line by Line Meaning

I'll be in your dream
I'll be the one you think of and desire in your sleep


If you'll be in my dream
If you think of me and desire me in your sleep


Still you are so far away from me
Despite our shared dreams, we are geographically distant


My love for you is a sin
My love for you is frowned upon and considered wrong by society


If you're not there I never have been
Without you, my life feels meaningless and empty


I don't have all of the time in the world
I am limited by time and cannot spend it all with you


But all of the time that I have It is yours
The time that I do have is dedicated to you and our relationship


You're so high dancing on your clouds
You are in a place of happiness and contentment, while I am not


And I'm down here with this tired old hound
I am stuck in a place of sadness, with no one to comfort me except my dog


Close my eyes gently
I am closing my eyes softly and calmly


Hold and caress me
I want to be held and comforted


My heart is empty
I feel a great sense of loneliness and longing without you


With you so far away from me
I am deeply affected by the distance between us


I don't have all of the time in the world
I am still limited by time and its constraints


But all the time that
I will dedicate the time that I do have to you


I have It is yours All the time that I have It is yours
I will give all of my time and attention to you, because you are worth it
