He Came Home
Eternal Shadows: A Tale of Love, Torment, and Haunting Returns
Lyrics
As she saw his face through her dirty window pane
Observing his face through a dirty window pane
Couldn't help but wonder "What goes on in his fucking brain"?
Expressing curiosity about what thoughts are in his mind
When glow of moonlight cloaks this town, two souls are cursed
When the town is covered in moonlight, two souls face a curse
This tale so tragic for his face she don't know, but he holds dear hers
Narrating a tragic tale, where the woman doesn't recognize his face, but he values hers
And in this alley, and on this night
Describing a specific alley and night
It's a heart he once knew, and he wants just to hold it again
He recognizes a heart from the past and desires to hold it again
Will he ever know he's in the wrong
Questioning if he will realize his wrongdoing
It's the night that he came home and now no one will come home
The night he returned, preventing others from coming home
As she saw his face pressed against her window pane
Repetition of the scene in line 1, emphasizing her distress
All she screamed was "Please, get me out of your fucking brain"!
Her plea to be freed from his troubling thoughts
Now he's gifted her torment, and he's gifted her dread
He has inflicted torment upon her as a gift
And she don't know how it started, all she wants is it to end
She is unaware of how the torment began and wishes for it to end
And on this night, and in her worst dreams
Referencing a night in her worst nightmares
He's come back once again, and she listens to hear him breathe
He has returned once more, and she anxiously listens for his presence
She doesn't deserve the devil's eyes watching
Expressing that she doesn't deserve the malevolent gaze of his eyes
It's the night he came home and now no one will come home
Reiteration of the impact of the night he came home, preventing others from returning
It's the night that he came home, and now no one comes home
Emphasizing the lasting effect of the night he came home on everyone
It's the night that he came home, and now no one comes home
Repeating the idea that no one comes home after the night he came home
