About This Track

'So Far' by Cults is a 2013 alternative track from the album 'Static'. The lyrics find a speaker trying to keep things steady, drowning out trouble as distance stretches “further and farther”. There is a pleading, reach-out-to-me address, alongside a sense of not wanting to let the connection slip away, even as memories are kept close. The refrain lands on uncertainty and rumination, culminating in the wondering how things will play out next.

Lyrics

So Far

I've been trying hard to keep the static low
Drown out the trouble
You know it's gonna come
Every day away
Our distance oh it grows
Further and farther
So close to letting go
Reach out a hand to me
It's not over
Keep all our memories
Bring them closer
[Chorus]
And I wonder how you sleep at night
You know that it's not just alright
You're standing so far from me
I've been trying hard to get you all alone
Seems like the good days are never gonna come
Everything you say I hear that awful tone
You're just so tired
Those words are not your own
Don't let them catch you
those friends that you wear [?]
They creep all around you
And never could care
[Chorus]
And I wonder how you sleep at night
You know that it's not just alright
You're standing so far from me
