Bound for Home
Navigating Life's Crossroads: Bound for Home
Lyrics
Someone told me lately time is killing you
Someone conveyed that the passage of time is causing distress for the speaker.
Me I'm killing time till I find something to make me follow through
The speaker is idling, waiting for something meaningful to motivate decisive action.
On the decisions and revisions of a life lived in the margins
Reflection on the choices and changes in a life lived on the fringes or edges of society.
Like notations of a plan I'm working on
Comparing life's plan to musical notations, indicating a work in progress.
Homeward bound, you won't be homeward bound anymore
The notion of being on the way back home is no longer certain or applicable.
Bound for home, I should be bound for home but I'm not sure
Expressing uncertainty about the destination of 'home.'
Where does that leave me? Arguing with unreliable memories
Questioning the reliability of memories and the speaker's place in the narrative.
You always sound so sure when you recall how it used to be
Contrasting the speaker's uncertainty with someone else's confident recollection of the past.
All the things you left behind, the perfect pictures in your mind
Reflecting on the things left behind and the idealized memories of the past.
Now you no longer get to see if they're still true
Acknowledging the loss of the ability to verify the accuracy of those memories.
Homeward bound, you won't be homeward bound anymore
Reiterating the uncertainty of the journey back home.
Bound for home, I should be bound for home but I'm not sure
Expressing doubt about being on the right path towards home.
If I dig deep down through the cold, cold ground
Exploring the possibility of rediscovering roots by delving into the past.
I would find myself back in my hometown
The speaker contemplates returning to their hometown by digging metaphorically.
Singing farewell songs as the sun goes down
Imagining a return to the hometown with a nostalgic farewell as the sun sets.
And reckon all the wrongs back into rhyme
Weighing the mistakes and setting them into poetic order or rhyme.
Lessons gifted to us all by vanished time
Recognizing the lessons learned from the past and the passage of time.
Homeward bound, though you're not homeward bound anymore
Despite not being homeward bound, the speaker reflects on the concept.
Bound for home, I am bound for home I'm pretty sure
Expressing a more confident belief in being bound for home.
Bound for home, turning bound for home to make amends
Committing to turning towards home to make amends.
Bound for home, we're all bound for home in the end
Concluding that, ultimately, everyone is bound for home in the end.
