Journey to Redemption: Deep October's Tale of Love, Loss, and New Beginnings
Lyrics
A long way home a short way down
A journey back home seems long, but there's a quick way down.
Flew to Philadelphia to stay at your house
The singer flew to Philadelphia to stay at someone's house.
Seven to eight hours until I'm back in the south
It takes seven to eight hours to return to the southern location.
And if my plane leaves I'd be down to stay forever for now
If the singer's plane leaves, they would be willing to stay in Philadelphia indefinitely.
It's always cold it's so played out
Philadelphia is described as always cold and played out.
Have you ever seen the sun not covered by clouds
Questioning if the listener has seen the sun uncovered by clouds.
Or have you never needed one it's better without
Suggesting that not needing the sun might be better.
And baby I'd never believe it but whatever I'm down
The singer expresses disbelief but is open to whatever is happening.
Someday came sudden again
A sudden occurrence of an unspecified event or feeling.
You might stain your shirt with all that blood on your hands
Warning about potential consequences, symbolized by staining a shirt with blood.
One day think you'll understand
Hoping that, one day, the listener will understand the situation.
It didn't really hurt you simply punctured the skin
Minimizing the impact of a past action, suggesting it didn't hurt much.
You were never a fan of me when I pretended I was dying to dance
Recalling a time when the listener wasn't supportive during a difficult moment.
Let's start from the beginning we can try it again
Proposing a fresh start and a chance to try things again.
Baby I got new intentions
Expressing a change in intentions or goals.
I'll supply your demands
Committing to meet the listener's demands or needs.
So do you know where we go from here
Pondering the future and asking if the listener knows the next steps.
Buy clothes cause it's cold and the snows all year
Suggesting practical actions like buying clothes due to the perpetual cold.
Bright lights seventy-one degrees inside my house on the hill
Describing a house with bright lights and a constant temperature of seventy-one degrees.
My eyesight slowly develops on the skyline color of heaven
Reflecting on an improvement in vision and the beauty of the skyline.
Someday came sudden again
A repetition of the theme of a sudden event or change.
You might stain your shirt with all that blood on your hands
A repeated warning about potential consequences and guilt.
One day think you'll understand
Reiterating the hope that understanding will come with time.
It didn't really hurt you simply punctured the skin
Restating that a past action had minimal negative impact.
You were never a fan of me when I pretended I was dying to dance
Recalling a lack of support during a vulnerable moment.
Let's start from the beginning we can try it again
Reaffirming the desire for a fresh start and trying again.
Baby I got new intentions
Emphasizing a shift in the singer's intentions or mindset.
I'll supply your demands
Promising to meet the listener's needs or expectations.
