Journey of Choices: Embracing Destiny's Knock
Lyrics
(Yeah)
Expression of agreement or affirmation
Well, here I am at my front door
Speaker is at their front door, noticing a bad smell
And, oh, what an odor is rising
Describing the unpleasant odor that is noticeable
It seems I've stood on this porch at lesser times
Reflecting on past experiences on the porch
Now I've been down the road
Referring to a significant life journey
You know the one you've dreamed about and that surprises you
Describing a dreamt-of road that is surprising
And I'm sure you'll chalk it up to some sell-out crime
Suspecting the journey might be perceived as a sell-out
Home
Introducing the theme of 'Home'
What do you do when opportunity knocks?
Pondering on how to respond to opportunity
When success stalks and along comes fame?
When success and fame approach, what action to take?
Do you open the door or watch in horror
Considering whether to embrace or reject success
Through the peephole as they go away?
Metaphorically watching success leave through a peephole
Lottery or poverty, you're a commodity
Contrasting situations of winning the lottery or facing poverty
So what's it gonna be?
Questioning the speaker's worth and choices
I'm moving on
Expressing the decision to move forward
I'm moving on
Reiterating the decision to move forward
Home
Reintroducing the theme of 'Home'
I'm going home
Expressing the intention to return home
I'm going home
Reiterating the intention to go home
Sitting in that same spot there with the other lot whining
Describing a scene with others complaining
And you know this must be just a mirage
Suggesting skepticism about the situation being real
Ain't no doubt, I ain't got the clout, that's defined, by you
Admitting a lack of influence or power defined by others
But oil stains are all you're gonna find in my garage (hey)
Downplaying material success with a humorous reference to oil stains
Whatcha gonna do when the fun stops?
Pondering the response when enjoyment ceases
When the boat rocks and the crew gets old?
Reflecting on aging and changes in life
Make up your mind it's about time because at this time
Encouraging a decision at the present moment
You're staying
Deciding to stay and face the situation
Home
Repeating the theme of 'Home'
I'm going home
Affirming the decision to go home
I'm going home
Reiterating the decision to go home
(That's all)
Short expression, possibly indicating the end of the thought
(I want)
Short expressions, unclear without context
Home
Repeating the theme of 'Home'
I'm going home
Reaffirming the intention to go home
I'm going home (go, go)
Reiterating the intention to go home with emphasis
