Not Coming Home
Lost Echoes: A Journey Beyond Home
Lyrics
I've been, I've been away so long
I've been away for an extended period.
And I am, I am feeling alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness.
The sun doesn't shine down on my home
The sun doesn't shine on the place I call home.
So don't wait up, I won't be comin' home
Asking not to wait up because the speaker won't be returning home.
Oh, oh, oh, comin' home
Expressing the act of coming home.
Oh, oh, oh oh
Repetition of the desire to come home.
Comin' home oh, oh, oh
-Comin' home
-I do, I do still remember that house
Recollection of a house with joy and warmth.
The joy it had and the warmth it lost
Reflecting on the loss of joy and warmth in that house.
And I know, I know those times are done
Acknowledging that those times are over.
The house it was is long, long gone
The house from the past no longer exists.
Oh, oh, oh, long gone
Repetition emphasizing the house being long gone.
Oh, oh, oh
Affirmation that the speaker is not coming home.
Ain't comin' home oh, oh, oh
-Ain't comin' home
-This life I live in don't feel nothin' like home
Repetition emphasizing the current life not feeling like home.
This life I live in don't feel nothin' like home
-This life I live in don't feel nothin' like home
-This life I live in don't feel nothin' like home
-Oh oh oh oh home, home, home
Expressing that the speaker is not coming home through repetition.
Woah oh oh oh home, home, home
-Ain't comin' home home, home, home
-Ain't coming home
-And I've been, I've been away so long
Reiterating being away for an extended period.
This life I live is not my home
Stating that the current life is not the speaker's home.
