Cover art for Far from Me lyrics by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds

This song breaks my heart. It speaks so much to me. I loved him because he woke up, fell in love and wanted to live again. But... well, he was weak and just could not handle it. He chose mother. He chose far from me. He chose to live "suspended in [his] bleak and fishless sea". So I cry, but there is nothing to do but miss what could have been. I love this song and Nick Cave is an amazing songwriter.
