Lyrics
Long way back home
Expressing a journey back home that is lengthy.
We forgot long time ago
Reflecting on a forgotten past, lost in time.
Days are flashing past my eyes
Noticing the swift passage of time.
I no longer recognise
Feeling a sense of unfamiliarity with oneself or surroundings.
Take what's left from our empty souls
Referring to the remnants of depleted or hollow spirits.
There's nowhere they belong
Expressing a lack of belonging or connection.
Because I thought we would have it all
Expressing disappointment in not achieving expected success.
Oh Lord how I was wrong
Acknowledging a realization of being mistaken or misled.
I don't know where to go
Feeling lost and uncertain about the future.
Oh Lord how I was wrong
-I don't know
Repetition emphasizes the uncertainty and lack of direction.
I don't know where to go
-I don't know
-I don't know where to go
-I don't know
-I don't know where to go
-I don't know
-I don't know where
-It's funny when we're on our own
Commenting on the challenges of being alone.
It's hard to play the chosen role
Highlighting the difficulty of playing a predetermined role.
All kings are dead and chains are gone
Noting the absence of rulers and freedom.
But tell me why we're so alone
Pondering the reasons for feeling isolated despite the absence of chains.
Poisoned thoughts stuck in our brain
Describing persistent negative thoughts in the mind.
And never letting go
Emphasizing the difficulty of letting go of these toxic thoughts.
That we should stop this never ending game

No matter what we've lost

Oh Lord how much we've lost

-I don't know I don't know
-Stuck in our brain
Repeating the idea of being stuck in negative thoughts and the need to end the harmful cycle.
And never letting go
