Home No More
Unforgiven Streets: A Journey Beyond Heaven and Hell
Lyrics
There is no reason to be forgiven
There is no specific reason to seek forgiveness.
There is no hell there is no heaven
There is no existence of either hell or heaven.
But there's an old street where the old boys meet
There's a familiar street where people from the past gather.
To burn the houses down that we used to live in
They come together to metaphorically burn down the houses they used to live in.
They say this house aint no home
It is claimed that the current residence is not a true home.
And though this place live on
Despite this, the place continues to exist.
They say this house aint no home
Reiteration that the current house is not a home.
This place aint home no more
Emphasizes that the place is no longer considered a home.
Before it was dangerous to go outside
Refers to a time when going outside was perilous.
Before we were allowed
Before societal permission was granted.
We could sneak out at night
Recalls the ability to sneak out during the night.
While our parents were dreaming
Parents were unaware, lost in their dreams.
They were sleeping away their night
Parents spent their nights sleeping.
But we found the truth underneath the street lights
Discovery of truth occurred under the streetlights.
They say this house aint no home
Current house is reiterated as not being a home.
And though this placed live on
Despite this, the place continues to exist.
They say this house aint no home
Reiteration that the current house is not a home.
This place aint home no more
Emphasizes that the place is no longer considered a home.
There was no a reason to be forgiven
Repeats the idea that there's no reason to seek forgiveness.
There was no hell there was no heaven
Reiterates the absence of hell or heaven.
But there's an old street where the old boys met
Refers to the same old street where people from the past gathered.
To burn the houses down that they used to live in
They gathered to metaphorically burn down their old houses.
Before it was dangerous to go outside
Recalls a time when going outside was dangerous.
Before we were allowed
Before societal permission was granted.
We could sneak out at night
Recalls the ability to sneak out during the night.
While our parents were dreaming
Parents were unaware, lost in their dreams.
They were sleeping away their night
Parents spent their nights sleeping.
No this place aint no home
Declares that the current place is not a home.
This place aint home no more
Emphasizes that the place is no longer considered a home.
