Home Is Where the Hatred Is
Unveiling the Dark Odyssey: Home Is Where the Hatred Is
Lyrics
A junkie walking through the twilight
A person addicted to drugs walking through a difficult and uncertain period
I'm on my way home
Heading towards their residence
I left three days ago, but noone seems to know I'm gone
Left home three days ago without anyone noticing their absence
Home is where the hatred is
Home symbolizes a place filled with hatred
Home is filled with pain and it,
Home is also characterized by pain
Might not be such a bad idea if I never, never went
Suggesting that not returning home might be a better choice
Home again
Reiterating the idea of not going back home
Stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
Asking others to keep their distance and inquire about the reasons for the person's state
Hang on to your rosary beads
Advising to hold onto religious beads (symbolic of seeking solace or redemption)
Close your eyes to watch me die
Encouraging others to avoid witnessing the person's demise by closing their eyes
You keep saying, kick it, quit it, kick it, quit it
Repeated exhortation to stop the addiction
God, but did you ever try
Reflecting on the difficulty of quitting and the challenges faced
To turn your sick soul inside out
Encouraging self-reflection to transform the troubled soul
So that the world, so that the world
Expressing a desire for the world to witness the internal struggle
Can watch you die
Suggesting a metaphorical death or transformation visible to others
Home is where I live inside my white powder dreams
Describing the internal world influenced by drug-induced fantasies
Home was once an empty vacuum that's filled now with my
Portraying home as once empty but now filled with silent cries
Silent screams
Highlighting the emotional pain experienced at home
Home is where the needle marks
Referring to physical marks from drug use as an attempt to heal emotional wounds
Try to heal my broken heart
Addressing the brokenness of the heart
And it might not be such a bad idea if I never, if I
Repeating the idea that not going home might be a better choice
Never went home again
Reiterating the decision to avoid returning home
Home again
Emphasizing the reluctance to go home again
Home again
Repetition for emphasis
Home again
-Kick it, quit it
Repeating the advice to quit the addiction
Kick it, quit it
-Kick it, quit it
-Kick it, can't go home again
Conveying the idea that after quitting, one can't return to the previous state or home
