뮤직비디오 자체는 당췌 무슨내용인지 왜? 이런 어린시절? 을 성의없는듯 찍었는지는 알수없지만, 가사를 보면 사랑노래? 인듯도 하고, 사랑했던 친구나 어린시절을 떠올리게도 하는 그런 노래다.
가사는 다음과 같다.
“So Far Away” – avenged sevenfold
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
멜로디가 귀에 찰지게 붙어서 참 애절한 느낌인데, 가사를 보니 더 그 느낌이 커진다. 당신은 너무 멀리 있지만, 난 아직도 당신이 필요하고, 그립다라는…. 대상이 누구인지도 중요하겠지만 그 애달픈 마음과 그리움이 절절하게 다가온다.
어벤지드 세븐폴드라는 밴드는 헤비메탈? 이라는데 느낌은 그냥 컨트리록 같다. 다른곡들도 찾아봐야겠다.
쓸쓸한 느낌이 얼마전에 본 영화 “로스트 인 더스트” 를 떠올리게 한다.
