Way Back Home
Echoes of Longing: Samuel Andryk's Way Back Home
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Opening of the song
Nights like these I see your face,
Reflecting on nights with memories of the person's face
and wonder where you are.
Expressing curiosity about the person's whereabouts
Kisses left without a trace,
Noting the absence of traces of kisses, creating a sense of distance
that summer seems so far.
Feeling that a past summer and its experiences are distant
Chorus:
Introduction of the chorus
And you'd say I'm too weak,
Being told that the narrator is emotionally vulnerable
Reliving old memories,
Revisiting past memories
Tickets from my one-way flight,
Referring to tickets from a one-way flight, possibly symbolizing a departure
Safely tucked away.
Mentioning the safe keeping of something important
Verse 2:
Transition to the second verse
Dreams like these I scream your name,
Experiencing dreams where the person's name is screamed
and wake up feeling the same way,
Waking up with persistent feelings for the person
Could it be that I just want what I can never have?
Questioning if the desire is for something unattainable
Chorus:
Introduction of the chorus again
And you'd say I'm too weak,
Reiteration of being emotionally vulnerable
Reliving old memories,
Revisiting memories once more
Tickets from my one-way flight,
Referring to the one-way flight tickets again
Safely tucked away.
Reiterating the safe keeping of something important
Bridge:
Transition to the bridge
Just as winter comes and goes,
Comparing the cycle of winter to the emotions in the context of the person
The snow melts thin and drips its way back home.
Describing the melting of snow, possibly symbolizing thawing emotions
Then spring comes faster than you think,
Highlighting the rapid arrival of spring and the blossoming of flowers
The flowers bloom and brush your cold lips pink.
Imagery of flowers brushing against cold lips, possibly representing a renewed connection
Days grow long.
Transition to a new section or mood
Mmmm.
Closing of the song with a musical expression
