Farther Than the Sun Lyrics

Drifting like a comet in the cold
I cannot feel at all
I fade to black and set out on my own
This is my resolve

I have to find a place where I belong
I do not like what I have become
No more compromise I will be gone
Free to fly farther than the sun
Farther than the sun

Something in the silence beckons me
And tells me every time
Only your defiance sets you free
And brings you back to life

I have to find a place where I belong
I do not like what I have become
No more compromise I will be gone
Free to fly farther than the sun
Farther than the sun

Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun

I have to find a place where I belong
I do not like what I have become
No more compromise I will be gone
Free to fly farther than the sun

I have to find a place where I belong
I do not like what I have become
No more compromise I will be gone
Free to fly farther than the sun
Farther than the sun

Farther than the sun
Farther than the sun

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Basically a 'breaking free of the mould' song. Changing what we have set out for ourselves and being happier as a result.

@PompeY2J Yes but he's not happy of his situation. He's probably willing to find a stable place where he belongs, but every place he finds isn't good enough and he feels the need to fly away
