| Ben Howard – Further Away Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This is one of my favorite songs from Ben. So without further ado, here's what I think it means. To me, this song is about someone who has started ignoring people in their life in the pursuit of their own goals. Haven been given advice that the path they're on is not the right one, they continue moving in the same direction. As this person grows up and matures, his family and friends see him growing more and more distant. Finally this person realizes that they're truly lonely and that the people they're surrounded by don't actually care about them. By this time, their realization is a shame since they had always been a good hearted person but they were simply just lost. I believe many people run into the same conundrum when they want to rebel against the people who love them, mainly their families. |
