Coming Home for Summer
Homebound Embrace: A Journey from Winter's Gloom to Summer's Bloom
Lyrics
We started in October
We began our journey in October.
Drowned our sins in cold November rain
We sought solace for our wrongdoings in the cold rains of November.
Thoughts all through December
Contemplating thoughts persisted throughout December.
Prayed for snow to cover up the pain
We prayed for snow, perhaps to mask the emotional pain.
Been so long under winter's night
We endured a prolonged period in the darkness of winter's night.
Waiting for the sun
Longing for the arrival of the sun.
Watching the horizon
Observing the horizon, anticipating a positive change.
Everybody's coming home for summer
A sense that everyone is returning home for the summer.
Battlefields a thousand miles away
War zones are distant, but the impact is felt, emphasizing a collective experience.
What a feeling, taste the freedom
A powerful emotion of tasting freedom is experienced.
There with every bite
Freedom is savored with every bite, suggesting a tangible and enjoyable liberation.
Finally we're coming home
A triumphant declaration that the time for returning home has finally arrived.
We shadow-boxed the enemy
Engaging in metaphorical combat with personal demons or challenges.
Swing until we extradite our fears
Fighting until we eliminate our fears and troubles.
They're backed into a corner
The adversaries are pushed into a difficult situation.
Ring the bell, we shed our blood and tears
Symbolic shedding of blood and tears during a significant struggle.
Like hibernating stowaways, hoping for the sun
Comparing to hibernating stowaways, hoping for a brighter future like the sun.
Watching the horizon
Continued anticipation of positive change by watching the horizon.
Everybody's coming home for summer
A repetition of the anticipation of everyone's return home for the summer.
Battlefields a thousand miles away
Reiterating the distant battlefields and their lingering impact.
What a feeling, taste the freedom
Re-experiencing the powerful feeling of tasting freedom.
There with every bite
Emphasizing the connection between freedom and every aspect of life.
Finally we're coming home
Reaffirming the joyous arrival of the time to come home.
Oh, we suffered in silence
A acknowledgment of enduring hardships in silence.
Through storms and through violence
Enduring storms and violence without vocalizing the pain.
We stayed our way
Persisting in their chosen path despite challenges.
The waves have subsided
The turmoil has subsided, possibly indicating overcoming challenges.
Clouds have divided
Clouds have cleared, representing a resolution of difficulties.
(I found) found a reason to survive
Discovery of a reason to survive, a newfound purpose.
Found the will to stay alive
Finding the strength to stay alive against all odds.
That will be the last thing that we do
Expressing determination to continue living as the ultimate resolve.
Heading for summer
Heading towards a metaphorical summer, a period of brightness and joy.
Back home for summer
The journey is leading back home for the summer.
Everybody's coming home for summer (everybody)
A repetition emphasizing the collective return home for the summer.
Battlefields a thousand miles away
Reiterating the impact of distant battlefields on the collective experience.
What a feeling (what a feeling)
Re-experiencing the powerful emotion and sensation of freedom.
Taste the freedom (taste the freedom)
Relishing in the taste of freedom with every experience.
There with every bite
Highlighting the connection between freedom and life's moments.
Finally we're coming home
Reaffirming the joyous arrival of the time to come home.
Oh, we're coming home
An emotional declaration that they are indeed coming home.
Oh, I'm coming home
A personal affirmation of the singer's return home.
