In this evocative track, Future Islands explores themes of nostalgia and longing for a simpler past. The lyrics paint vivid images of childhood memories, particularly those connected to nature and rural landscapes. The recurring motif of being "a long way from home" reflects the emotional distance from these cherished memories as well as a physical separation from one's roots. The singer grapples with this disconnect by recounting sensory details that stir up feelings of loss and yearning, yet there is also a sense of peace in reminiscing about the purity of youthful experiences. #Nostalgia #Longing
