Coming Home
Coming Home: A Tale of Loss, Redemption, and Vanished Homes
Lyrics
I've been gone way for such a long time now
I've been away for an extended period.
My children don't know me
My children are unfamiliar with me due to my prolonged absence.
Cause I've been away so long
My absence has been so lengthy that I feel disconnected from my family.
In a prison with no walls I was banned
I experienced a form of imprisonment without physical walls.
Vanished from my own country I was banned banned
I was banished and disappeared from my own country, facing severe consequences.
Now I'm coming home
I am in the process of returning home.
I'm coming home to stay
I am returning home with the intention of staying.
I am happy to be home
I am joyous about being back home.
But there's no home
However, the concept of "home" seems to be lost or altered.
I am coming home
I am still determined to return home despite challenges.
I'm coming home
Reiteration of the anticipation of coming home.
I'm coming home to nothing nothing
Despite returning, there is a sense of emptiness or lack of belonging.
Yes I come back and all is gone gone
Returning to find that everything has disappeared or changed.
Here I come back
Expressing the act of coming back.
No body knows me
Feeling unrecognized by others upon return.
No body cares
Perceived lack of concern or acknowledgment from others.
I'm told home is gone
Being informed that the concept of "home" is no longer present.
All where forced removals
Referring to forced relocations or displacements.
Where where I ask
Seeking clarity about the location of "home."
Nobody can tell me
Expressing the uncertainty of finding answers about home.
Nobody knows where I'm coming home
Uncertain destination upon the return journey.
I'm coming home I'm happy to be home
Reiteration of being happy about returning home.
I'm coming I'm coming home
Emphasizing the ongoing process of coming home.
I'm coming home I'm coming home to nothing
Returning home, but there is a sense of emptiness or lack.
I'm coming home I'm coming home to nothing nothing
Repetition of the idea of returning to nothingness.
I am coming home I was a heroin
Formerly a hero, returning to a reality where everyone has disappeared.
Now everybody is gone
Expressing the absence of everyone upon the return.
