Home Sweet Homeless
Awakening Conscience: Unveiling the Harsh Reality in 'Home Sweet Homeless'
Lyrics
One look in the city streets
Observing the conditions in the city streets.
This is how far we've gone off track
Expressing a realization of deviating from the right path.
It's not such a breath of fresh air
Contrasting the city environment with a breath of fresh air, implying it lacks freshness.
When I don't feel sick anymore
Feeling relief or numbness from a previously experienced sickness.
When daily I see pictures of the sick
Being constantly exposed to images of suffering individuals (sick, starving, dead).
The starving and the dead
Highlighting the grim reality of the world, emphasizing suffering and death.
And I know that everything's full of shit
Expressing a cynical view that everything is deceitful or false.
And I don't know what's right but I know this isn't it
Acknowledging uncertainty about what is right but certain that the current state is not acceptable.
When I see this then I know it's not right that it's all wrong
Asserting that witnessing the mentioned issues confirms the wrongness of the world.
This will never save the world
Rejecting the idea that the observed problems will bring salvation or positive change.
One smell of the smoke filled air
Describing a repulsive experience with smoke-filled air.
And I'm puking screaming choking
Expressing physical reactions (puking, screaming, choking) to the unpleasant situation.
And I'm all torn up inside
Feeling emotionally distressed and torn internally.
When I don't wanna wake up anymore
Expressing a desire not to face reality or wake up.
Cause it breaks my heart to see what we have done
Expressing heartbreak over the consequences of human actions on the world.
And to see the world outside
Reflecting on the external world and the damage inflicted upon it.
And I know that everything's full of shit
Reiterating a cynical perspective on the world's state.
And I don't know what's right but I know this isn't it
Repeating uncertainty about what is right but affirming the current state is unacceptable.
When I see this then I know it's not right that it's all wrong
Reaffirming that witnessing the mentioned issues confirms the wrongness of the world.
This will never save the world
Reiterating skepticism about the ability of the observed problems to bring positive change.
