The Distant Stage by The Furies is a wistful, heart-rending song that captures the feeling of being far away both in distance and in time. The lyrics delicately express a longing for people who are permanently lost, set against the backdrop of a metaphorical show— a poignant performance that can never be revisited.
[Verse 1]
The curtain rises on an empty space
Shadows flicker where we used to play
I've traveled far to find a trace
Of the love and laughter that faded away
[Chorus]
So here I am on this distant stage
Where memories dance in the ghostly haze
I long for faces time has erased
In the echoes of our yesterdays
[Verse 2]
The orchestra plays a mournful tune
Notes of sorrow under a silver moon
I reach for hands, but I know too soon
They’re only phantoms in my lonely room
[Chorus]
So here I am on this distant stage
Where memories dance in the ghostly haze
I long for faces time has erased
In the echoes of our yesterdays
[Bridge]
The spotlight shines on roads untraveled
Where whispers linger from dreams unraveled
I stand alone while the seats remain empty
Yearning for a past that left me plenty
[Chorus]
So here I am on this distant stage
Where memories dance in the ghostly haze
I long for faces time has erased
In the echoes of our yesterdays
[Outro]
The curtain falls but the ache remains
A silent encore for an endless pain
Though I walk away, I still feel the chains
Of the distant stage where we once reigned
