Journey of Remembrance: Umphrey's McGee's Home
Lyrics
Voices of relatives, long time gone
Reflection on the voices of relatives who have been gone for a long time.
Smiles and times we've spent, I can't forget
Nostalgic recollection of smiles and past moments that are unforgettable.
Laughs that etched their way in the storm
Memories of laughter that left a lasting impression even in difficult times.
After all these years
Reflection on the passage of time and experiences over the years.
And all set point right back to home
Emphasizing that everything ultimately leads back to the concept of "home."
The air does not clean nearly fast enough around here
Expressing the slow pace of positive change or improvement in the surroundings.
Choked words and unfinished sentences
Describing difficulty in communication with words getting choked and sentences remaining unfinished.
These never ending subtle messages of home
Noting persistent subtle messages associated with the idea of "home."
Trees and notes
Mentioning trees and notes as symbolic elements associated with memories and messages.
And all roads point right back to home
Reiterating the central theme that all paths lead back to "home."
You rise and shine because the virgin mother said
Referencing a commitment or obligation based on the words of the virgin mother.
Legs can't walk, givin' up
Challenging the idea of giving up, especially when facing difficulties.
Givin' up is not one of the options
Asserting that giving up is not a viable option.
Givin' up is not in the plans
Emphasizing the absence of plans involving giving up.
I know the trip is long on the body
Acknowledging the physical toll of a long journey but discouraging impatience.
So don't ask it 'Where they're yet?' like a child
Advising against asking impatient questions and highlighting the importance of patience.
'Cause patience is a virtue
Stressing the virtue of patience.
Rain and snow
Introducing elements of rain and snow as symbolic challenges.
And all roads point right back to you
Reiterating that all paths lead back to a specific person or place.
Find a path of consistency
Seeking a consistent path in life.
Sink my teeth into it
Expressing a desire to firmly engage with a chosen path.
Soak my feet in the mud of my past
Immersing oneself in the experiences and lessons of the past.
Flesh and blood
Referring to the fundamental elements of one's existence.
And all roads point there back to home
Reiterating the theme that all paths lead back to the concept of "home."
