I've seen faces turn pale
Not knowing what to say
They're people inside an illusion
Full of lights and things to buy
Full of loveless kisses
Given to see what's there, just a bit farther
A bit farther, a bit farther, a bit farther
A bit farther, a bit farther, a bit farther
Far away from here, from here, from here, from here
From here, from here, from here, from here
I've seen eyes filled with tears1
Not knowing how to see
They closed2 in confusion
So as to not feel the weight of things
Perhaps dreaming of flying
In the silence just a bit farther
Far away from here, from here, from here, from here
From here, from here, from here, from here
Far away from here, from here, from here,
It's a strange law that defeats us
It's funny, the sword that penetrates us
It looks so close but so unreachable
It's so perfect that beauty escapes [from it]
Like the peace that spreads
Like the life it overwhelms
Like the moon that rises from the wave
I've seen mouths silenced
From which truth escapes
And then they smile in front of a flower
Slowly opening themselves for a great love
And again they open to sing of the pain
Just a bit farther
Far away from here, from here, from here, from here
From here, from here, from here, from here
Far away from here, from here, from here, from here
From here, from here, from here, from here
