Close Yet Far Lyrics
i've lived for years without a life
don't have a sould on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that i have tried
don't take me under your wing
i don't need a hand, don't need anything
i've got a roof over my head
as if i'd rather be alone with me instead
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and i'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
and i never never never ever wanted this to be
sunrise and set are the same to me
a hesitating pulse is good company
and my reflection offers no apology
but who said that i wasn't right?
and i've lived for years without a life
don't have a sould on my side
still ridiculed despite how hard that i have tried
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and i'll tip my hat to those who can't believe it's me
and i never never never ever wanted this to be
drop me a line and tell me how the hell you are
and i'll think of days when there was something to believe
and i never never never ever wanted this to be
This is such a good song. A brilliant mellow song... a stark contrast to most of the new album. Great for meditating to after a long day...
actually its number 10 on the newer versions of Infiltrate-Destroy-Rebuild
This song is one of CKY's best. Its great to see a mellow-er side of the band, and they deffinatley pulled it off. i love it!
I always cry when they play this song live because that means the concerts over and I have to go back to my boring life.
it hurts how well i can relate to this song.
To me it sounds like no one though he could make it big or amount to anything for the matter. Specifically family. He didn't care he didn't need or want help from anyone he's used to being a lone wolf because there wasn't anyone there to begin with. Or so it seemed. But, still he wants to know how maybe his parents are doing the still thinks about them it's family after all. He tips his hat into respect to the people that believe in him now. Even though he never wanted to be famous or to make it big.
That's what I gather.
I can't remember where I read this, but I do remember reading that Deron enjoyed writing lyrics based off of classic Horror characters and that these lyrics was an intimate description of what it is like to be a vampire, forced into a life without intimacy, mortality, and love.
Obviously, he is putting some of his personal context into the lyrics. It is a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics and a wonderful way to close out an outstanding album.
When I was a teenager in the early 2000s, I thought this was a cool, "moody" song. Now it has a new meaning for me. I've struggled with General Anxiety Disorder and panic attacks. It's very frustrating when people say "Everyone has anxiety". There is a difference between being anxious once in a while, and having an actual disorder that impacts your everyday life. This song describes some of the feelings/moods that I've experienced.
man this has gotta be one of the best CKY songs...how is this one related to Fairmans Theme, ive had Fairmans for like 2 years now and the chorus close to the same
as much as i love cky, i really dont like this song. fairmans song was great the way it was. now it sounds like something off the movie the titanic. why did they change it?
