Journey of Redemption: Finding Healing in Mercy Bell's 'Home'
Lyrics
Just trying to get it together it seems
Expressing the difficulty of pulling oneself together.
Takes all the energy I need to succeed
Acknowledging the energy required for success.
Spent 6 whole months waking up in strange beds
Describing six months waking up in unfamiliar places.
Trying to outrun the call finding out that she's dead
Attempting to escape from a distressing revelation about someone's death.
Could you come pick me up?
Requesting assistance, possibly emotionally or physically.
Forget the years that I've spent drunk
Suggesting a desire to forget past years of being intoxicated.
Take me home
Expressing a longing to return home.
I'll be better in the morning
Optimistically anticipating improvement by the morning.
Take me home
Reiterating the plea to be taken home.
I'll be better, come the day
Expecting improvement with the arrival of a new day.
Cocaine till I'm anxious
Mentioning drug use (cocaine) as a coping mechanism.
Beer till I'm less
Using beer to alleviate anxiety.
A bundle of nerves and bad habits and stress
Describing a state of being overwhelmed by nervousness, habits, and stress.
But maybe now, I'll hit my stride
Expressing hope for a positive change in life.
Yeah I might have been late
Acknowledging a delayed start but highlighting the importance of arriving.
But at least I arrived
Emphasizing the value of finally reaching a destination.
Could you come pick me up?
Repeating the request for assistance and understanding.
Forget the years that I've spent drunk
Reiterating the desire to forget a past filled with intoxication.
Take me home
Expressing a yearning to return home for improvement.
I'll be better in the morning
Reaffirming the belief in being better by the morning.
Take me home
Continuing the plea to be taken home for a brighter future.
I'll be better, come the day
Remaining hopeful for a positive change in the coming day.
Take me home
Repeating the request to be taken home.
