Lyrics
It's like he hasn't changed
Reflecting on the person's apparent lack of change.
No way it's gonna end
Expressing confidence that something won't come to an end.
He can't be more afraid than this
Acknowledging the person's fear, emphasizing its intensity.
The boy is now a man
Highlighting a transformation from a boy to a man.
Doesn't know when it began
Indicating uncertainty about when a change started.
When he left and blew a kiss
Recalling a departure with a symbolic gesture of blowing a kiss.
He walked a hundred miles
Describing a lengthy journey of a hundred miles.
He wandered in the night
Depicting aimless wandering during the night.
Drinking coke and eating snacks
Depicting mundane activities of consuming coke and snacks.
But when he came back home
Contrasting the return with a significant personal transformation.
He was a brand new man
Affirming the emergence of a new identity after the journey.
He knew all that I have learned
Asserting that the returned person possesses the speaker's knowledge.
He said to me
Introducing direct speech from the transformed person.
Look up and see
Encouraging someone to observe the beauty of the stars.
The stars are shining in here
Highlighting the luminosity of stars in the current environment.
And here I'll stand
Expressing a commitment to stand firm in the present state.
I'll rest my head
Expressing a desire to find solace and rest.
And be myself
Affirming the intention to be authentic and true to oneself.
He knew he'll never have
Acknowledging the unattainability of the life the person deserves.
The life that he deserves
Describing a past confinement within a metaphorical cage.
He was locked inside a cage
Reiterating the transformative impact of returning home.
But when he came back home
Repeating the idea of a significant personal transformation.
He was a brand new man
Reaffirming the possession of knowledge gained by the speaker.
He knew all that I have learned
Continuing the narrative of the transformed person's wisdom.
He told me then
Conveying a message from the transformed person to the speaker.
Just hold my hand
Requesting physical support and connection through holding hands.
He took me to
Initiating a journey led by the transformed person.
The land that he dreamt
Revealing the destination as the land from the person's dreams.
About for years
Emphasizing the long-standing nature of the dream.
It's the prefect place for him
Declaring that the dreamt land is the perfect place for the person.
