Then I Get Back Home
Journey of Reflection: Embracing Life's Colors and Loneliness in 'Then I Get Back Home'
Lyrics
I've been watching the sun settle into glow
I've been observing the sunset, witnessing the transition to twilight.
All the colours I love in my window
Admiring the various colors that I cherish, visible through my window.
My head moves fast, as the world slows
My thoughts race quickly while the world around me slows down.
Then I get back home
After these observations, I return to my home.
I've been watching the rain falling overnight
I've been witnessing rain falling during the night.
Covering the pavement on midnight sky
The rain covers the pavement under the midnight sky.
Shimmering off all the lonely lights
Reflecting off the solitary lights, creating a shimmering effect.
Then I get back home
After this scene, I return to my home.
Then I get back home
Repeated line emphasizing the return to home.
I've been watching the way Sydney throws her hair
I've been observing the way Sydney moves her hair.
Dancing around in a camera glare
She dances around in the spotlight of a camera.
I shift and I stir, but she's still there
Although I shift and stir, her image remains in my thoughts.
When I get back home
When I return home, she is still in my mind.
I've been watching the way people open up
I've been observing how people open up emotionally.
Pouring their heart out to give it up
They share their deepest feelings, giving up their hearts.
Baring their soul to try find love
Revealing their souls in the quest for love.
Like, "Who dare look in my eyes
Expressing vulnerability with a challenge to those who would look into their eyes.
When I get back home"
Upon returning home, I contemplate these interactions.
I spend so much time sitting by myself
I spend significant time in solitude, contemplating my thoughts.
Going 'round and 'round about my mental health
Reflecting on my mental health, engaging in self-analysis.
I can't put it down, I'd rather be alone
Despite the challenges, I cannot let go, preferring solitude.
I've been reaching around in my open soul
I explore my innermost self, open and exposed.
Strung out on feelings that come and go
Struggling with fluctuating emotions and experiences.
Hurting for someone I've never known
Longing for someone I've never met or known.
Then I get back home
After these inner struggles, I return to my home.
My home, my home, my home
A repetition emphasizing the concept of home as a central theme.
