Notes
Dave Gahan told Interia.pl (translated from Polish):
"This song is about someone whose thoughts are somewhere far away. About someone who hides behind a facade of a mask he has put on. And tries to hide it. This song about my friend. I knew that when I was with him and said something to him, he was actually mentally absent. Even though he tried to convince me that he was not. 'Miles Away / The Truth Is' is not entirely about drugs, but they are always present somewhere in the songs. All my life, I tried to escape from myself. Also with drugs. Until it finally became clear to me that it was not bad to be myself. This song was made quite quickly. When I wrote the lyrics of this song, the vocal part was circling in my head. This song is inspired by my friend. In the studio, Martin played a fantastic guitar part around it, with which we built the rest of the song, as was the case with 'Come Back'. We also recorded great vocal parts - Martin stepped in and sang in the background. 'Miles Away' is a dirty, nasty, grinding song. It reminds me a bit of a modern version of 'The Gimme Shelter' by The Rolling Stones. It has something of that in it."
Dave Gahan told The Guardian in 2009:
"Martin does [change song titles]. He's very particular about his song titles. At the last minute he'll change the title and he worries I think if there's another song with the same name. I imagine him Googling it. For instance Miles Away/The Truth Is on this album was just Miles Away. Then Martin said, 'You know there's a Madonna song called Miles Away?' So it was changed."
Lyrics
Miles Away / The Truth Is
It's one of those conversations we've, we've had them before
The ones that leave you empty and wanting for more
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is
You're miles away
Excuse me for my hesitation I've, I've met you before
Your face seems so familiar and longing for more
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is
You're miles away
With all your superstitions and empty lines
I could be just like you
Withdrawn but alive
Life it has it's limitations we all have our needs
Love could be the only answer it lies underneath
Your eyes they tell me something that I understand
Your eyes they hold the truth and the truth is
You're miles away
