"Far From Home" By Five Finger Death Punch
Lyrics:
Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night settles in as quickly as it goes
The memories of shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to keep me out
[Guitar Solo]
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
To break me down
To break me down
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Lyrics:
Another day in this carnival of souls
Another night settles in as quickly as it goes
The memories of shadows, ink on the page
And I can't seem to find my way home
And it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything
To keep me out
All the places I've been and things I've seen
A million stories that made up a million shattered dreams
The faces of people I'll never see again
And I can't seem to find my way home
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to keep me out
[Guitar Solo]
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Cause it's almost like
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
To break me down
To break me down
Your heaven's trying everything
Your heaven's trying everything to break me down
Analysis, by Simran Kandola
The song is anti-war because it shows how the soldiers are broken and will never forget the death of their friends and comrades. The part that stands out is “all the places I've been, all the things I've seen” because it shows that as a soldier he will never forget all the death he has seen and all the things he has done. The song has nothing to do with foreign policy it just shows the brutal side of war. The song answers the driving question, “how does war effect an individual” and it shows how the individual is broken mentally and scared by what he has seen and done.
