Lyrics for Get Miles as interpreted by Ice

Get Miles Lyrics
I love this island but this island's killing me
Sitting here in silence, man I don't get no peace
The waves upon my shore take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Jump off this island gonna head out towards the sea


I love this city man but this city's killing me
Sitting here in all this noise man I don't get no peace
The cars below my street take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head out towards the sea
Gonna leave this city man, gonna head out towards the sea

Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away
Get miles

I love this planet but this planet's killin' me
Sitting here in all this grass man I don't get no weed
The sweat comin' from my pores take me away piece by piece
Gonna leave everything I know gonna head to the galaxy
Gonna leave this planet man, gonna head to the galaxy

Get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away, get miles away
Get miles

This is all about wanting to constantly exclude yourself from anywhere. The person in the song always thinks bigger and bigger in the things he wants to exlude himself from, so an island (England), moves to a city (hates it there) and so finally thinks he needs to get away from the planet into the galaxy. I think his mental progression takes him to drugs for escapism.

Great song from Gomez's Mercury Award winning 'Bring it on' album. Gruff, soulful vocals.

It can really be mental progression into anything. I'd almost want to say not drugs but some higher spiritual plane. He says he can't get weed in the final verse so that makes me want to think he's reaching beyond what we know here on earth.

This song is def. about drug use. Getting miles away from all your problems and the hassles of daily life, and finding a greater consciousness represented by the sea or galaxy.
