No Goin' Home
Journey of Temptation: No Goin' Home Revelations
Lyrics
Put that bottle up to your lips
Encouraging the act of drinking from a bottle.
Hold your nose, take a sip
Suggesting taking a drink, possibly despite the unpleasant taste or smell.
Drink 'til there ain't a drop to drip
To consume until there's no liquid left to come out.
You're a full grown man
A statement asserting adulthood or maturity.
I'll be waitin' on the other side
Implies waiting on the outcome or consequence of the action.
Flickin' my tail, cuttin' my eyes
Expressing impatience or anxiety through physical gestures.
Pavin' the way for you to find
Preparing the way for someone to discover something.
That other promised land
Referencing another desirable or better place or state.
There's a road that's straight and narrow
Indicating a path of moral virtue or righteousness.
There's a road that winds
Highlighting an alternative path that's more winding or uncertain.
Walk with me, I'll make you strong
Offering guidance and support.
But once you're gone, there ain't no goin' home
Stating the irreversibility of a decision once it's made.
Cinnamon eyes, locks of gold
Descriptive imagery of someone's eyes and hair color.
Promisin' sins to never be told
Implies the assurance of secrecy about certain actions or choices.
Tellin' you to let the flesh take hold
Encouraging indulgence in desires or temptations.
But boy you'll be damned
Warning about potential consequences or damnation.
'Cause there's a road that's straight and narrow
Reiteration of the dichotomy between a moral path and a more uncertain one.
There's a road that winds
Repeating the description of two contrasting paths.
Walk with me, I'll make you strong
Reaffirming support and guidance.
But once you're gone, there ain't no goin' home
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of a choice made.
'Cause there's a road that's straight and narrow
Reiteration of the contrast between the two paths.
There's a road that winds
Restating the two different types of paths available.
Walk with me, I'll make you strong
Offering strength and support along the chosen path.
But once you're gone, there ain't no goin' home
Reaffirming the permanent consequences of a decision once made.
