I Don't Go Home Much Anymore
Journey of Liberation: Escaping Shadows in 'I Don't Go Home Much Anymore'
Lyrics
I don't go home much anymore
I rarely visit my hometown now
I don't see signs I new from before
I don't recognize familiar signs anymore
I don't go home much anymore
Continuation of the statement from line 1
Hearing updates on the town is such a chore
Getting updates about the town is burdensome
No I don't go home much anymore
Reiteration of not going home frequently
Oh I've seen the streetlight 5 million times
I have seen the streetlight many times
And I've walked down second street thinking I was fine
Walking down Second Street with a false sense of well-being
No I couldn't get away
Expressing difficulty in escaping
No I couldn't escape
Feeling trapped and unable to break free
Until one day
Transition to a significant event or realization
Until one day...I drove away
Reiteration of driving away as a turning point
I don't go home much anymore
Repeating the sentiment of not going home often
Those friends I had are friends no more
Former friends are no longer part of my life
I don't go home much anymore
Continuation of not frequenting hometown
That life still scares me so I just ignore
Memories of that life are unsettling, so I avoid them
All the feelings, places, people I don't see anymore
Ignoring emotions, places, and people from the past
Oh I've seen the streetlight 5 million times
Reiteration of familiarity with the streetlight
And I've walked down second street thinking I was fine
Reflecting on Second Street with a false sense of well-being
No I couldn't get away
Re-emphasizing the difficulty in escaping
No I couldn't escape
Continuation of feeling trapped and unable to escape
Until one day
Reiteration of a significant event or realization
Until one day...I drove away
Repeating the sentiment of driving away as a turning point
I don't go home much anymore
Reiterating the infrequency of going home
My family asks me, why don't you love us anymore
Family questions the lack of love for them
I don't know what to tell them
Expressing uncertainty in responding to the family
Cause thinking for an answer ain't much better than I'm not sure
Thinking for an answer is as challenging as being unsure
Oh I've seen the streetlight 5 million times
Reiteration of familiarity with the streetlight
And I've walked down second street thinking I was fine
Reflecting on Second Street with a false sense of well-being
No I couldn't get away
Re-emphasizing the difficulty in escaping
No I couldn't escape
Continuation of feeling trapped and unable to escape
Until one day
Reiteration of a significant event or realization
Until one day...I drove away
Repeating the sentiment of driving away as a turning point
