Long Way Home
Navigating Demons and Long Journeys: The Parlotones' Musical Odyssey
Lyrics
Shake my head
Expressing disapproval or disbelief
Shake my head
Reiterating disapproval or disbelief
I might as well
Considering an alternative or undesirable option
Might as well be dead
Feeling emotionally drained or defeated
These demons
Inner struggles or personal challenges
Are shouting in my head
Mental turmoil and intrusive thoughts
Pretend
Acting or presenting a false facade
A nervous twitch
Uncontrollable nervous reactions
A jealous twitch
Envy or insecurity causing involuntary actions
I can't control
Lack of control over certain aspects of life
A scratching itch
An uncomfortable and persistent urge
Just in time
Realizing something foolish just in time
To realise stupid silly
Recognition of a silly mistake
Suddenly I'm screaming on
Sudden outburst of emotions
I'm broken by the winter sun
Feeling emotionally affected by harsh circumstances
Damaged goods
Referring to oneself as damaged or flawed
Damaged goods
Repetition emphasizing personal flaws
(Oh oh oh could keep me awake)
(Expression of potential insomnia or restlessness)
It's a long way home
Highlighting the distance or difficulty in returning home
It's a long way home
Repetition emphasizing the long journey home
It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-Toughen up
-I better toughen up or I will suffocate
-And it would be too late to have realised
-Perfection's not a flavour
-Suddenly I'm screaming on
-I'm broken by the winter sun
-Damaged good
-Damaged goods
-(Oh oh oh could keep me awake)
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long way home
-It's a long
-Way
Literal expression of the concept of home
Home
-Arrest my eyes my skin and bones
Desire for personal freedom and autonomy
Place that I can call my own
Seeking a place of comfort and belonging
Friends can phone
Communication or connection with friends and loved ones
I guess you call it home
Defining the concept of home as a place where one belongs
