Longe de Casa

In 'Longe de Casa,' VMZ delves into the complexities of ambition, emotional turmoil, and the struggle to balance personal goals with relationships. The song opens with the artist reflecting on the myriad of thoughts and problems weighing on his mind. He feels the pressure of the world on his shoulders and acknowledges the various proposals and opportunities that come his way. Despite these prospects, he finds himself avoiding tears and choosing to express his emotions through song. This sets the tone for a narrative where ambition and emotional conflict are central themes.

The lyrics reveal a sense of chaos and disarray in the artist's life, both before and after a significant relationship. VMZ describes his life as a mess and admits to feeling unwell. He adopts a pessimistic outlook, suggesting that it's better for the other person to stay away from him due to the problems that seem to follow him wherever he goes. This self-awareness highlights the internal conflict between his desire for success and the impact it has on his personal life. The recurring line about sinking deeper into sorrow with each drink underscores his struggle with coping mechanisms that ultimately lead to more pain.

As the song progresses, VMZ grapples with the idea of leaving and distancing himself from his home and the person he cares about. He acknowledges the complications in their relationship and the pain he has caused. Despite his attempts to make the other person happy, he feels he has disrupted their journey. The repeated refrain about needing to get away and distract himself reflects his internal battle between staying and leaving. The song concludes with a poignant realization that, although he tries to detach and function independently, he is deeply affected by his emotions and the memories of the person he loves. This emotional honesty and vulnerability make 'Longe de Casa' a powerful exploration of the tension between ambition and heartache.
