Far from the Crowd Lyrics

Cover art for Far from the Crowd lyrics by Coral, The

It conjures a picture of someone going to the seaside to kill themselves. The rocks are on the beach; the stories never told are the reasons. "One forgotten day / Sadly passed away / Into the ground / And far from the crowd" shows that this happened perhaps years ago.

When you cried out loud It never made a sound [...] Away from the sounds And far from the crowd

  • Crying for help but not getting any, eventually driven into isolation, and this silence left stories untold, stories that lead to waiting by the rocks. It's a friend's perspective, somehow understanding but not pitying.

It sounds a little like Placebo, actually. Very good.
