Miles Away
white.queen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wheels keep on rollin', mindless of our flight;
As towns lie in slumber, we fade into the night.
The cities, so familiar, are like a long-lost friend;
With open arms they shelter me, and bring me home to them.
And we're miles away, always miles away.
Rollin' on down the highway, livin' for the day;
Seems I'm always miles away.
Just outside of Memphis, where Rock 'n Roll began,
We say a prayer for Elvis, then on the road again.
The mind begins to wander, as memories unfold
The music on the radio reminds us of our homes.

Sometimes it seems the road will never end,
Sometimes it seems my only friend yeah, yeah, yeah.
What will tomorrow tell, I just can't say today,
Because I'm always miles away, miles away.

The boy I left at home took his first steps today
I'll watch him on the video before I leave to play.
'Cause we're miles away, always miles away.
Rollin' on down the highway, livin' for the day
Seems I'm always miles and miles away,
Always miles away.

Oh yeah, all of my life is rollin', livin' just to play,
Seems I'm always miles away, yeah,




Seems I'm always miles away,
Seems I'm always miles away, miles away.

Overall Meaning

In the song Miles Away by White.queen, the lyrics describe the life of a musician or a performer who is always on the road, traveling from one place to another. The wheels of their vehicle keep rolling, without any regard for the distance or the time of day. As the towns become dormant and the night covers everything, the performer becomes nostalgic for the cities that used to feel like home. Even though they are always miles away, those cities are like old friends, welcoming them back with open arms, and providing comfort to the weary traveler.


As the performer passes Memphis, the birthplace of rock and roll, they pay tribute to the late Elvis Presley, a pioneer of the genre. The journey turns into a walk down memory lane, as the music on the radio triggers old emotions and forgotten experiences. The road may seem endless, and the only friend they have is the music, but the destination remains unknown. The present is all that matters, but the future is uncertain.


The lyrics also mention the sacrifice the performer has to endure being away from their loved ones. They witness milestones in their absence like a baby's first steps, but they can only watch them on a video. They are always miles away, rolling on down the highway, living just to play.
