Lyrics
Woke up in the morning staggered out of bed
Beginning of the day, waking up and getting out of bed
Thought about getting back again, but went downstairs instead
Considering returning to bed but opting to go downstairs instead
Read the daily paper have to know the truth
Reading the daily newspaper to seek the truth
Slammed the door as I ran outside, looked at my watch and cried
Feeling a sense of urgency, running outside, and realizing the time pressure
Gotta get to work on time
Emphasizing the importance of getting to work on time
Gotta get to work on time
Reiteration of the need to be punctual for work
Then the sky turned a deeper blue
Describing a sudden change in the sky's color to a deeper blue
Not a cloud as the sun shone through
Clear sky with sunlight, despite ongoing rain
But all around rain kept falling to the ground
Contradiction between a clear sky and falling rain
The wind was blowing but the trees didn't make a sound
Wind blowing, but silence from the trees, creating an eerie atmosphere
Just another alien afternoon
Labeling the afternoon as strange or otherworldly
Just another alien afternoon
Reiteration of the unusual nature of the afternoon
Time that I was leaving while there's still a chance
Feeling the need to leave before becoming too convinced by strange occurrences
Before I start believing in what I see or hear
Expressing doubt in what is seen or heard
Nothing here to keep me, nothing anywhere
Feeling the absence of reasons to stay
Gotta get out pack my bags before I go insane
Sense of urgency to leave and avoid insanity
Gotta get away in time
Emphasizing the need to get away in time
Gotta get away in time
Reiteration of the urgency to escape
Then the sky turned from blue to green
Another shift in the sky's color, this time to green
Took on colours I have never seen
Describing unprecedented colors in the sky
Then a sound started ringing in my ears
Hearing a mysterious sound with no apparent source
I heard voices but in truth there's nobody there
Hearing voices but realizing there's nobody present
Just another alien afternoon
Reiteration of the strangeness of the afternoon
Just another alien afternoon
Reiteration of the otherworldly nature of the afternoon
To be there back where I belong
Expressing a desire to return to a familiar place
To feel again the wind upon my face
Yearning to experience familiar sensations
To see again all that I took for granted
Reflecting on the things taken for granted
All that I left and everything I knew
Remembering what was left behind and what was known
We are home
Assertion of being home, possibly in an alien context
We are your home
Reiteration of being home, suggesting unity
We are all your home
Expanding the idea that everyone is connected and belongs
Not another alien afternoon
Contrast with the earlier description, emphasizing a sense of belonging
Never more to go wandering
Commitment to staying and not wandering anymore
Never leaving my world behind
Choosing not to leave one's world behind
There was never a reason
Stating there was never a valid reason to leave
To leave my heart and my home behind
Expressing a connection to heart and home
Where I was born is where I should be now
Affirmation that where one was born is where one should be
I would never be lonely
Assurance of never feeling lonely
I would never be sad again
Commitment to never being sad again
I wanted to go anywhere
Initial desire to explore different places
I wanted to see how strange it all could be
Curiosity about the strangeness of the world
Nothing would ever take me away again
Resolution not to be taken away again
Never more to go wandering
Reiteration of the decision to stop wandering
Never leaving my world behind
Commitment to not leaving one's world behind
No, no, no, no
Strong negation of leaving again
Nothing will ever take me away again, away again
Reiteration that nothing will take the person away again
No, no, no, no
