So Far Away

 So Far Away


So Far Away adalah sebuah lagu oleh band heavy metal Amerika Avenged Sevenfold , dirilis sebagai singel ketiga untuk album studio kelima mereka, Nightmare . Singel ini dirilis pada tanggal 5 April 2011, melalui Warner Records . Lagu ini merupakan penghormatan kepada drummer asli band tersebut Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan , yang meninggal dalam tidurnya pada tanggal 28 Desember 2009
                                                                         

The Rev meninggal dunia pada bulan Desember tahun 2009 silam. Personil ini meninggal karena overdosis alkohol serta obat-obatan terlarang.

Di dalam lagu tersebut, terdapat kata so far away yang diulang-ulang. Itu menunjukkan kerinduan anggota band Avenged Sevenfold terhadap kehadiran The Rev.

Kematian The Rev menjadi titik balik yang mengubah gaya hidup personil lain (memakai obat-obatan terlarang dan konsumsi alkohol). Pada akhirnya, personil lain diberi pelajaran oleh Tuhan dengan kematian salah satu anggota band karena overdosis.

Lirik Lagu So Far Away


Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life to heal the broken heart with all that it could

Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we're so invincible
The truth is so cold

A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you're so far away

Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (place for me)
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally

How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains
But it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away

I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong and urges rise
But I'll see you, when He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied

So far away (so far)
And I need you to know
So far away (so far)
And I need you to, need you to know
