Song Meaning of “Moving Further Away – Andy Blake World Unknown Mix” by The Horrors
The Horrors’ song “Moving Further Away” is a song about making a difficult decision and taking the hard path. The protagonist of the song is in a situation that requires them to make a tough choice, and they’re unable to stay where they are any longer. Despite the sadness of having to depart from the people and places they love, as the lyrics express, they know that there’s no other way to break free from the situation. It’s a bittersweet moment of realisation that that the freedom they so strongly desire can only be achieved through leaving what is familiar.
The Andy Blake World Unknown Mix adds a ethereal and longing tone to the already raw emotion of the song. This version further highlights the bittersweetness of the decision that the protagonist has to make, while also allowing them to feel dignified and brave in their choice. Ultimately, they realise that even though moving further away will be difficult, it is a necessary step in order to truly be free.
