When The Boys Come Home
Embracing Redemption: When The Boys Come Home
Lyrics
Oh the stairs I scale
Scaling the stairs symbolizes overcoming challenges or obstacles.
To my one storey jail
The speaker feels confined or restricted, comparing their situation to a one-story jail.
Will be nothing
Anticipating a significant change; the current struggles will become insignificant.
For theres an arm on which I'll lean
The speaker will find support and comfort in someone's arm.
And the arm will repay
The supportive arm will repay debts and provide assistance.
Every debt that was in its name
Clearing obligations or burdens associated with the arm's name.
Oh, on the day that the boys come home
Anticipation of a positive change on the day the boys return.
Those that don't feel the sun
Those who haven't experienced hardship will understand it when they face challenges.
Beating down on their body numb
Feeling the consequences or pressures in difficult situations.
Will know the heat on the day that they are cooking
A metaphorical cooking or facing the heat of life's challenges.
Those whose lights run strong
People with stable lives will experience darkness when facing difficult times.
With no hint of interruption
No disruptions in a comfortable life; facing challenges will be a new experience.
Will know the dark when the boys come home
Experiencing darkness or difficulties when the boys return.
As for those who look like us
Those similar to the speaker, facing challenges and weariness.
Managing our will into the dust
Struggling and losing motivation when faced with adversity.
Who withdraw when the lights have been turned on
Withdrawing or avoiding challenges when exposed to light or truth.
In their pitch black nights
In their darkest times, a small hope or resilience will remain.
There'll be a flame flickering alight
Facing consequences for their actions and decisions.
As they're made to cross all the bridges they're burning
Confronting the results of their destructive behavior.
How, I wonder what they'll say
Curiosity about the reactions, feelings, and prayers of those facing consequences.
What they'll feel and to who they'll pray
Speculating on the emotions and expressions when the boys come home.
Oh, on the day that the boys come home
Reiterating the anticipation of a positive change when the boys return.
Move this pile of clothes
A desire to move past current challenges or burdens.
Let me rest my bones
Seeking rest and relief from the difficulties faced.
For there'll be one less day
Counting down to the promised day of change.
Till the day I'm promised
Awaiting the fulfillment of promises and positive transformation.
As I lower my eyes
Reflecting on past deception or falsehoods.
Counting down all of the lies
Acknowledging the lies and anticipating a day of truth and honesty.
Yes, one less day till I can see grown men made honest
Counting down to the day when grown men will become honest.
And the only fear I have
The speaker's primary fear is that their anger will diminish before witnessing positive change.
Is that my rage'll fade before I can
Expressing the urgency to witness the positive transformation before losing the intensity of rage.
See that day that the boys comes home
Reiteration of the anticipation of the day when the boys come home.
