About This Track

'Never Far Apart' by Code Orange is a 2023 metal track from the album 'The Above'. The lyrics move through paranoid, defiant self-assertion, with the speaker insisting they are “not the one you're after”, framing themselves as a damaged leftover of some system. There is a grim, satirical edge to the language of capture and control, alongside images of endurance through harsh, hostile conditions. Overall, it reads like a protest performed at speed, mixing disbelief, threat assessment and bleak resilience into one fraying declaration.

"Never Far Apart" is a track by Code Orange, from the album The Above, released 27th September 2023. The track is 3:54 long. It's filed under Metal. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 4 articles about Code Orange.

Lyrics

Never Far Apart

I swear I'm not the one you're after
Just the ghost of a system error
Because there's no way I'm supposed to be here
Tar me up, cover me in feathers
Is this a joke?
Some sick form of entertainment
For the ones that control the vector
I've been through the womb
Through the cold
But the story continues
Even if you won't turn the chapter

We will never be far apart
Do you have memories from the start?
Before everything fell apart
It's getting blurrier lately

Maybe the first time's a mistake
But twice and the eggs on your face
Three times and you're a clown
With bodies wrapped in plastic
Digging trenches just to hide the habit (murderer)
No one forgot, no one gave you a pass
They just watch from behind the glass (we all know)
Human beings don't change their nature
When faced with their own failure

We will never be far apart
Do you have memories from the start?
Before everything fell apart
It's getting blurrier lately

We will never be far apart
Do you have memories from the start?
Before everything fell apart
It's getting blurrier lately

Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it

We will never be far apart
Do you have memories from the start?
Before everything fell apart
It's getting blurrier lately

We will never be far apart
Do you have memories from the start?
Before everything fell apart
It's getting

Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it
Do it

I'd push you out the window for a better view
Eat your stomach fat if I needed fuel
Break into your house and split your head in two
Plastic fingertips so no one ever knew
Let's go
Partial fingerprints so no one ever knew
Slide into your skin, I'll make a better you
I'd keep your partner warm and take your kids to school
All the money in the world, but you can't tell the truth

All the power in the world, look what you couldn't do
You have everything you want but what good's it to you?
All the money in the world but now you're black and blue
You have everything I want, look what you couldn't do
