Ready for Home
Journey of Redemption: Lonely Avenue's 'Ready for Home' Explained
Lyrics
Let me tell you a story
Introduction to a narrative, setting the stage for a story.
Let me know if it's too boring
Seeking feedback on the story's interest, possibly reflecting self-awareness.
I sit and I dwell on every mistake, I'm
Reflecting on and dwelling on past mistakes.
Lost in a time that made me feel safe
Feeling nostalgic about a time that provided a sense of security.
Getting lost just to find yourself
Exploring the idea of getting lost as a means of self-discovery.
Where you never thought you'd be
Unexpectedly finding oneself in an unfamiliar place.
With dead end friends and skeletons to
Surrounded by unhelpful friends and unresolved issues.
Comfort away the grief
Using distractions to cope with sorrow.
Is the city slicking part of me getting old?
Questioning the impact of city life on personal growth.
'Cause the run down couches start to feel like home
Feeling comfort in familiar, albeit worn, surroundings.
I'm running with the night, broken knife fight it cuts me up
Engaging in risky behaviors, possibly symbolized by a "broken knife fight."
Bottles to the roof for never growing up
Using substances to escape the responsibilities of adulthood.
And I'm ready for home
Expressing readiness to return to a sense of belonging.
Too many nights spent all alone
Acknowledging loneliness during nights spent alone.
And I'm ready for home
Reiteration of the desire to return home.
Is it living on the edge that makes me feel dead? (Feel dead...)
Questioning the impact of living on the edge on emotional well-being.
It's got me knocked out, dragged out far from home
Feeling disoriented and distant from the familiar.
The more you kick me when I'm down the more I grow
Embracing challenges as opportunities for personal growth.
The only place I have left is with me
Finding solace within oneself when other places are no longer available.
So I might as well kick back and get comfy
Embracing the present and finding comfort in one's own company.
Ready for home
Expressing a renewed readiness to return home.
Too many nights spent all alone
Reiteration of loneliness and the desire for home.
And I'm ready for home
Re-emphasizing the readiness for a sense of belonging.
Is it living on the edge that makes me feel dead?
Reflecting on the toll of living on the edge on emotional well-being.
And it's not the same as it used to be
Noticing a change in the familiar, possibly referencing personal growth.
When every little thing makes me unhappy
Expressing dissatisfaction with various aspects of life.
I don't want you to tell me
Rejecting pity and not wanting sympathy from others.
That you feel bad for me
Declining empathy or commiseration from others.
Ready for home
Reiterating the readiness to return home, despite challenges.
Too many nights spent all alone
Re-emphasizing the loneliness experienced during nights spent alone.
And I'm ready for home
Expressing the persistent desire and readiness for home.
Is it living on the edge that makes me feel dead?
Questioning whether living on the edge contributes to a feeling of emptiness or emotional numbness.
