Lyrics
Where did you go
Questioning the whereabouts of someone
When things went wrong for you
Asking about their location during tough times
When the knives came out for you?
Referring to a situation where someone faced hostility
Where did you go?
Repetition of the question about the person's location
All you needed was a friend
Highlighting the person's need for companionship
You just have to ask and then
Encouraging the person to seek help by asking for it
You don't have to have the solution
Stating that having a solution is not mandatory
You've got to understand the problem
Emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle
Advising against relying on miracles
All this will fade away so I'm coming home
Expressing that difficulties will pass, and the person is returning home
I'm coming home
Reiteration of the intention to come home
What did you learn
Asking about the lessons learned during isolation
Locked away all on your own
Describing being locked away in solitude
Chance and your head all blown
Suggesting a state of emotional turmoil
What did you learn it was unfortunate
Reflecting on an unfortunate experience
You missed you chance to find out that
Pointing out a missed opportunity for understanding
You don't have to have the solution
Reiteration of not needing a solution, but understanding the problem
You've got to understand the problem
Emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle
Discouraging reliance on miracles
All this will fade away so I'm coming home
Repeating the idea that difficulties will fade away, and returning home
I'm coming home
Reiteration of the intention to come home
You don't have to have the solution
Reiteration of not needing a solution, but understanding the problem
You've got to understand the problem
Emphasizing the importance of understanding the problem
And don't go hoping for a miracle
Discouraging reliance on miracles
All this will fade away so I'm coming home
Repeating the idea that difficulties will fade away, and returning home
I'm coming home
Reiteration of the intention to come home
I'm coming home but just for a short while
Expressing the temporary nature of returning home
