Faraway

Gala's song 'Faraway' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of love, longing, and the pain of separation. The lyrics are a poignant exploration of the conflicting emotions that arise when one is deeply in love yet unable to be with the person they desire. The repetition of the name signifies an obsession, a constant presence in the mind of the singer, which is both a source of comfort and agony. The name is described as sweet, yet it brings tears, highlighting the bittersweet nature of love that is unfulfilled or distant.

The song's chorus, 'It's your name I hate because I love you still and I can't live this way,' encapsulates the paradox of love. The singer hates the name because it represents a love that is unattainable, yet they cannot let go of it. This duality is further emphasized by the line, 'It's your name I keep, the only thing you can't take away from me,' suggesting that while the physical presence of the loved one is absent, their essence remains deeply ingrained in the singer's heart and mind.

The desire to 'dive in your eyes' and 'be castaway' speaks to a longing for an intimate connection, a wish to escape reality and be lost in the presence of the loved one. The plea for the loved one to stay and the promise to lead them 'faraway' indicates a hope for a future where they can be together, away from the pain and constraints of their current situation. Gala's emotive delivery and the lyrical depth of 'Faraway' make it a powerful anthem for anyone who has experienced the complexities of love and longing.
