HYD – Afar Lyrics

Afar Lyrics By HYD

Afar is a song first played live by Hyd during their performance supporting Caroline Polachek on her 2022 tour. It is set to release on July 14th, 2022.

from an imagined guardian – a presence without a body, an angel next to me. My vision was gone and I had to steam my eyes regularly with hot water vapor, which was the predominant element of that time for me and this song. Caroline and I started ‘Afar’ in Santa Monica and finished it at her house in Brooklyn. The productions are distilled to feel like a vapor den.

[Verse 1]
Do you need a piece of me?
Is your pride too strong?
I’m still here, calm and clear
When you feel hollow
Is right now haunting you?
That’s okay, me too
If you try reaching out
In the dark
I’m there

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m everywhere
And I’m nowhere at all
I’m up in the air
Down here breaking your fall
Can you feel me there?
I know who you are
I know who you are
I send you love from afar

[Verse 2]
I never meant to leave
It wasn’t up to me
If I could, I would have stayed
Close to you
Is right now haunting you?
That’s okay, me too
If you try reaching out
In the dark
I’m there

[Chorus]
I am everywhere
And I’m nowhere at all
I’m up in the air
Down here breaking your fall
Can you feel me there?
I know who you are
I know who you are
I send you love from afar

[Bridge]
Baby you’re finally free and you don’t need me, it’s okay
I know
Trying to catch that chase and you need that space, it’s okay
I know
Dying to draw that line and you need that time, it’s okay
I know
That it’s haunting you
And it haunts me too

[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m everywhere
And I’m nowhere at all
I’m up in the air
Down here breaking your fall
Can you feel me there?
I know who you are
I know who you are
I send you love from afar

[Outro]
I never meant to leave
It wasn’t up to me
If I could, I would have stayed
Close to you (I send you love from afar)
Is right now haunting you?
That’s okay, me too
If you try reaching out
In the dark
I send you love from afar
