How far you go

Verse 1

Doesn't have anything to do with distance

At most with time

And I don't know why I want to leave

But it hits me hard and pure, and it stubbornly holds on

So here I stand with an outstretched hand

Chorus 1

Love, come along

And embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

Love, come along

And embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

And take me nowhere

Verse 2

How deep you go

Doesn't have anything to do with thinking

At most with a will

And it feels like I know where I'm going

And it leads me in the dark and mocks my mind

Here I stand with an outstretched hand

Chorus 2

Love, come along

And embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

Love, come along

And embrace me

Embrace me, embrace me

And take me nowhere

Chorus 3

Love, come along

Embrace my body and limbs

Embrace my delusions

Embrace me, embrace me

Love, come along

Embrace my whole past

Embrace my seven seas

Embrace me, embrace me

And take me nowhere

How straight you stand

Doesn't have anything to do with gravity

At most with the wind

SONG MEANING

Bløf’s Dutch classic Omarm ("Embrace") feels like a warm hug set to music. The singer is restless, pulled by an invisible force to leave ordinary life behind, yet he stretches out his hand and pleads, “Lief, ga dan mee en omarm me” – “My love, come with me and embrace me.” Instead of asking for a destination, he begs to be taken nowhere, suggesting that true closeness is not about distance or place but about sharing the same moment, heart to heart.

Throughout the song he flips common ideas on their heads:

How far you go is not about miles, only time.
How deep you dive is not about thought, only will.
How steady you stand is not about gravity, only wind.

By stripping away the usual measures of travel, thought and strength, Bløf highlights a different journey – one inside the soul. He invites his partner to embrace everything: body, wild ideas, past mistakes and the “seven seas” of experience. In the end, Omarm celebrates the power of unconditional love to quiet restlessness and turn “nowhere” into the safest place of all.
