On My Way Home
Journey of Reflection: On My Way Home
Lyrics
On my way and I had to lie
Expressing the need to deceive or withhold truth while on the way.
How's it going, I'm doing fine
Casually responding positively to a greeting, indicating a facade of well-being.
And I'm on my way home
Heading towards home.
I'm on my way home
Reiteration of the journey towards home.
Here's a friend that you can't ignore
Referring to an unavoidable friend and potential conflicts.
Fight breaks out then I'm out the door
Leaving abruptly when a fight occurs.
And I'm on my way home
Continuation of the journey towards home after conflicts.
I'm on my way home
Reiteration of the intention to return home despite disturbances.
Oh no
An exclamation expressing concern or realization.
It's in your eyes
Noticing something significant in the eyes of someone.
You'll never be the same
Anticipating a profound change in a person.
But I'm on my way home
Continuing the journey despite the anticipated change.
Yes I'm on my way home
Affirming the progress towards home.
Yes I'm on my way home
Repetition for emphasis, confirming the return home.
Up for show then the stage went black
Describing an event on stage, possibly a performance.
Lit the joint then I hit the sack
After the show, engaging in relaxation or sleep.
And I'm on my way home
Resuming the journey home after the performance.
I'm on my way home
Reiteration of the commitment to return home.
Caught the flight, and I lost my name
Experiencing a loss of identity during a flight.
Transatlantic, I hope today
Hoping for a positive outcome during a transatlantic journey.
That I'm on my way home
Affirming the journey towards home.
I'm on my way home
Reiteration of being on the way home.
Oh no
Similar to line 11, expressing concern or realization.
It's in your eyes
Observing a significant change reflected in someone's eyes.
You'll never be the same
Reaffirming the expected profound change in a person.
But I'm on my way home
Continuing the journey despite the anticipated change.
Yes I'm on my way home
Affirming the progress towards home.
Yes I'm on my way home
Repetition for emphasis, confirming the return home.
Here we stand in the customs line
Describing a moment in a customs line, possibly facing scrutiny.
He says you're packing, I'll pull you back
Encountering resistance while trying to move forward.
And I'm on my way home
Resuming the journey home despite obstacles.
I'm on my way home
Reiteration of the commitment to return home.
Detained now and I'm feeling low
Experiencing a sense of confinement and emotional low.
Hoping some day they'll let me go
Expressing a hope for release or freedom in the future.
And I'm on my way home
Continuing the journey despite current challenges.
I'm on my way home
Reiteration of the determination to return home.
Oh no
Similar to line 11 and 28, expressing concern or realization.
It's in your eyes
Observing a significant change reflected in someone's eyes.
You'll never be the same
Reaffirming the expected profound change in a person.
But I'm on my way home
Continuing the journey despite the anticipated change.
Yes I'm on my way home
Affirming the progress towards home.
Yes I'm on my way home
Repetition for emphasis, confirming the return home.
