10 James Orr Street
Yearning for Home: 10 James Orr Street's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
A note dropped through the door
A communication was delivered through the door
Tells us to go
The message instructs us to leave
Oh but I know
Despite the directive, there is confidence that the other person will resist
That you will tell them to
Expectation that the other person will refuse to comply
Go somewhere else
Suggests the preference for an alternative location
Because you know that
Awareness that the speaker desires to remain in the current house
I want to stay in this house forever
Expressing a strong desire to stay in the house indefinitely
I don't want to ever leave
Reiteration of not wanting to leave
How could I ever live in another
Reflects on the difficulty of living elsewhere
This is where I want to be
Affirmation that the current place is the preferred residence
You know that there won't be
Acknowledgment that there won't be a barrier preventing departure
A high wall I can climb
Mention of a lack of obstacles to hinder exploration
And find the things that I find
Recognition of possessions left behind due to the absence of barriers
I'll have to leave them where they are
Acceptance of leaving belongings untouched
I don't want to go far
Reluctance to venture too far away
A tear-stained pillow
Reference to a tear-stained pillow as a symbol of emotional distress
Doesn't seem to help me
Recognition that emotional distress doesn't provide a solution
I can't make you change your mind
Realization that influencing a change of mind is challenging
I look through my window
Observation through a window of desired aspects
And I see all I want to
Confirmation of seeing everything desired through the window
How can I leave it all behind me now
Contemplation on leaving everything behind
I've done all I can do
Completion of all possible actions
I want to stay here
Expresses the desire to remain in the current location
This could be my home forever
Envisioning the present place as a permanent home
But you say I can't come back ever
Revelation that returning is prohibited
You don't know just how much
Emphasizes the depth of the speaker's wish to stay
I wish I could stay in this house forever
Reiteration of the strong desire to remain in the current house
I don't want to ever leave
Restatement of not wanting to leave
How could I ever live in another
Reaffirmation of the difficulty of living elsewhere
This is where I want to be
Confirmation that the current place is the preferred residence
You know that I don't want to go
Affirmation of the strong reluctance to depart
