Further Away Lyrics
The further away I get from you
The harder it gets for everyone else, for everyone else
The happier I am when I'm with you
The harder it gets when I am alone, when I am alone
The harder I try to learn something from you
Further away
Further away feel it fade into your childhood further away
Further away feel dazed and misunderstood
Further away
The stiller the oxygen the harder you breathe
The draining away just like an old man's dream
Just like an old man's dream
The simpler the answer the harder it can get
The circular landscape comes back only with regret
Only with regret
The more estranged I feel from my youth further away
Further away feel it fade into your childhood further away
Further away feel dazed and misunderstood
Further away
Further away feel it fade into your childhood further away
Further away feel dazed and misunderstood
Further away.
The harder it gets for everyone else, for everyone else
The harder it gets when I am alone, when I am alone
Further away
Further away feel dazed and misunderstood
Further away
The draining away just like an old man's dream
Just like an old man's dream
The circular landscape comes back only with regret
Only with regret
Further away feel dazed and misunderstood
Further away
Further away feel dazed and misunderstood
Further away.

Nicky was homesick when he wrote this.
The Manic's only love song apparently. Ever such a sad one too. I think Nicky said it was about the changing relationships within the band since Richie disappeared and having your dreams shattered(?).
My favourite line is: "The simpler the answer the harder it can get."
I think the song is about the wish to return to a state of innocence, maybe childhood, when you didn't feel so screwed up about life...
I`m 95% the meaning was mentionted in one of the interviews and it was Nicky missing his wife
This a pure, simple love song by Nicky for his wife Rachel, who he hates having to leave to go on tour. He is by far the most domesticated un-rock star there is, bless.
(L) =) love it.
i don´t think it´s a real love song, more about the missing of a fetisch or a drug, which could be a lover... (the harder it get´s, when i am alone = when i don´t have you...) the line: "the simpler the question, the harder it can get" is a nice phrase, but i don´t see how it really fits into the rest of the song. any suggestions?
Wonderful tune - with a very weak opening.
It feels like a travelling song, like Australia but more personal.
