Far Cry by National Security Band

Sample Titles: Welcome to My Blog! or Welcome to My World or Welcome to (Blog Name)


"Far Cry" is a strange song for us because it does not fit into our "typical" previous writing style. We wanted to expand our horizons and this song tells a vivid story of planning and daydreaming an escape from reality. I guess it's the old grass is greener on the other side type of scenario.


There's also a lot of anxiety and stress associated with these types of life changes. Obsessing over the small details and self-destructing into a full on panic attack is a central theme for the lyrics of this song.




Far Cry Lyrics


You long wished for the days

When you could walk away at sundown

And it’s a far cry from the safety behind

From your jerkwater little town


Now as you laid there dreaming away

Of castles in the air

Your thoughts and your dreams and all in between

Washed and seared from your mind


Don’t close your heart from my desperate screams

Right in front of your face

As panic set in from falling behind

You’re a far cry from home

What Are Critics Saying About "Far Cry"

“Far Cry” stands out as a favorite, reminiscent of the alternative sound of the 90s.-Rock Era Magazine


[Far Cry] offer[s] a unique perspective and exploration of the dystopian and dark themes of the whole project.-Apsi Magazine


The deep sounds of the guitar, soaring on the wings of vocals, enveloped me in the track "Far Cry," and I found myself in an atmosphere where fears and experiences dissolved like smoke in the air.-Vox Magazine


“Far Cry” also excels in its consistent range of comforting distortion, although against a more debonair, caressing vocal presence that succeeds just as well-Obscure Sound
