Lyrics
When you go away from home
Leaving home comes with consequences.
There's no coming back
No possibility of returning once you leave.
There's no one to welcome you
Lack of a welcoming presence when returning.
In adult life
Reflection on the challenges of adult life.
You want to be one of us while being you
Desire to fit in with others while maintaining individuality.
You want to do the same things as we do
Aspiring to engage in similar activities as peers.
But you just can't stop playing games
Struggling to break away from playful behaviors.
You just can't stop being a child
Difficulty in fully embracing adulthood, clinging to childish traits.
You just can't stop making noise
Tendency to make noise, perhaps resisting conformity.
I don't wanna be the one to tell it to you
Aversion to delivering a harsh truth to someone.
But you know someone has to do it
Acknowledgment of the necessity of conveying unpleasant truths.
When you go away from home
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of leaving home.
There's no coming back
Emphasis on the permanence of departure.
There's no one to welcome you
Lamentation over the absence of a welcoming atmosphere.
In adult life
Reflection on the challenges of adult life (repeated).
You still believe in fairy dreams and fantasies
Maintaining belief in dreams and fantasies despite maturity.
Say goodbye to all your friends, you won't see them again
Saying farewell to friends with uncertainty about seeing them again.
Do you really want this?
Questioning the desire for a particular lifestyle.
Do you really need this?
Questioning the necessity of a chosen path.
(Will you be happy like that?)
Pondering if the chosen path will lead to happiness.
Do you really want this?
Reiteration of questioning the desire for a specific lifestyle.
Do you really need this?
Reiteration of questioning the necessity of a chosen path.
(You're not so sure after all)
Expressing uncertainty about the chosen path.
When you go away from home
Reiteration of the irreversible nature of leaving home.
There's no coming back
Emphasis on the permanence of departure (repeated).
There's no one to welcome you
Lamentation over the absence of a welcoming atmosphere (repeated).
In adult life
Reflection on the challenges of adult life (repeated).
