Hive Open Mic Week #207 | "Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away" (cover) by @rico.csirait

Hi friends, nice to meet all of you again. This is a very exciting week for me, because in this Hive open mic, the theme is my choice, this is an honor, this time I chose the theme "who is missed", I chose this theme because I am sure we all have someone who is very we miss this time, whether it's a partner, parent, friend or sibling, I'm sure all of you have prepared the best songs for this week.

to join in this week's theme which is also my choice, I chose a song owned by a big rock band, that is Avenged Sevenfold, this time I brought the song "So Far Away", the story is that this song was deliberately created for their first drummer at the same time. their friend "the revv" who passed away first, this song is very touching because the lyrics can be interpreted globally.

Lyrics of this Song

[Verse 1]
Never afraid for anything
Never shamed, but never free
A life that healed a broken heart with all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart with all that I could

[Pre-Chorus]
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?

[Chorus]
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say, but you're so far away

[Verse 2]
Plans of what our future holds
Foolish lies of growing' old
It seems we're so invincible, the truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then, I try to find a place in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
Where you can stay
You can stay away forever

[Chorus]
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say, but you're so far away

[Bridge]
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid (Not afraid)
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me (Place for me)
'Cause as soon as I'm done, I'll be on my way (On my way)
To live eternally

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains, but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say, and you're so far away

[Interlude]

[Outro]
I love you, you were ready
The pain is strong, and the urge rises
But I'll see you when He lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands are untied
So far away
And I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know
