Lyrics

How many miles from home are we, from home are we from home?

Questioning the distance from their original/home place.

How many days from gone are we, from gone are we from gone?

Reflecting on how far they've strayed from past experiences or memories.

Our compass lost, our treasure found, but not inside our hearts

Feeling directionless externally but recognizing internal fulfillment.

How many miles from home are we, from home are we from home?

Reiteration of feeling distanced from home or a familiar place.


How many lies from truth are we, and how many truths from lies?

Questioning the proximity of their actions to honesty and truth.

How much nothing must we buy to think that we have worth?

Contemplating materialism and its misguided perception of self-worth.

We have everything we need but still we ask for more

Having necessities yet still seeking more without satisfaction.

How many meals from full are we, from full are we, from full?

Considering satiety in terms of food and possibly metaphorically in life.


How many songs from sung are we, from sung are we from song?

Questioning the authenticity or depth of experiences.

How many voices calling, “please”, calling, “please belong”?

Feeling a desire to belong or be part of something.

I long for you, your words construe the Babylon of dream

Expressing longing and the creation of a fantastical, idealized world.

How many songs from sung are we, from sung are we from song?

Repeating the query regarding the authenticity of experiences.


Oh...break up the old fight

Calling for an end to an ongoing conflict or struggle.

Oh, find our way home

Yearning to find the way back to a sense of belonging or familiarity.

cll we are is nothing

Reflection on the insignificance of material possessions or status.

What I know now is what to forgo

Understanding what needs to be relinquished or let go of for growth.


Oh...break to the new light

Seeking a breakthrough into a new, brighter phase or perspective.

oh, break the door down

Urging to break barriers or limitations for progress.

Bring me nothing more

Rejecting the need for more material possessions or experiences.

You are my word as we go

Affirmation of a bond or connection in the journey ahead.
