Afar Lyrics
[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

What did Hyd say about "Afar"?
Hyd shared the following in a press release:
The voice in the song is meant to emanate 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...
