Homeless
Journey of Loss and Redemption
Lyrics
I used to be good
I used to be a good person
Yeah, I used to be good
Reiteration of past goodness
I had people, good people
I had good people in my life who loved me
To love me
Expressing gratitude for the love received
Yeah, I had love
I had love in my life
And I lost it
Lost love due to reckless behavior and foolishness
Wreckless drinking and foolishness
Engaged in thoughtless drinking and actions
My god
An exclamation, perhaps regret or realization
For thousands of miles
Traveled thousands of miles away from home
From my home I would be
Reflecting on being far from home
And I would take comfort
Finding solace in the company of friends
With my buddies
Enjoying companionship with buddies
And after a night
After a night out, losing direction on the way home
I would lose my way home
Repeating the theme of losing one's way after a night
Until finally
Continued struggle with finding the way home
I lost my home
Ultimately losing the home
So I found someone
Found someone similar to oneself
He's kinda the same
Describing the similarity with the newfound person
We would laugh, we would sleep
Sharing moments of laughter, sleep, and singing
And we would sing
Emphasizing shared experiences
Well we would drink together
Engaging in drinking together
Until no end
Drinking excessively until there's no end
'Til finally
Continuing the pattern until the person leaves
He left me
Feeling abandoned after the person leaves
So again
Experiencing homelessness again
I am homeless
Alone on a path without a home
Alone on this path
Expressing solitude on the journey
'Til I sleep
Temporary relief through sleep
And maybe some dreams they can save me
Hoping that dreams might bring salvation
Maybe some dreams I will see
Anticipating positive experiences in dreams
To all who love me, I am sorry
Apologizing to those who love the person
To all who love me, I am sorry
Repeating apologies, expressing remorse
To all who love me, I am sorry
Continuing apologies, seeking forgiveness
To all who love me, forgive me
A final plea for forgiveness from loved ones
