A Way Back Home
Finding the Path: A Journey of Rediscovery in 'A Way Back Home'
Lyrics
Monday silent, kitchen table
Reflecting on a quiet Monday at the kitchen table
Head held in my hand
Feeling contemplative with head held in hand
Treasure Island, Tower of Babel
Referencing mythical places, suggesting a search for meaning
I don't read fables now
No longer interested in reading fictional stories
I went out to chase tornadoes
Expressing a pursuit of excitement or chaos
Dorothy Gale, I'm lost in Neverland
Drawing parallels to fictional characters, feeling lost
Still Looking for a shadow of a man
Continuing the search for identity or guidance
Just trying to find his way back home again
Struggling to find one's way back home
There's got to be a way to back home
Expressing a desire to find a way back home
Can't I retrace all my mis-steps
Questioning the possibility of retracing past mistakes
Can I rebuild her stone by stone
Wondering if it's possible to rebuild something important
There's got to be a way to get back home
Reiterating the search for a way to return home
A chance to turn this thing around
Seeking an opportunity to reverse a negative situation
A place I can start over
Desiring a fresh start and a place to begin anew
Home, A way back home
Emphasizing the concept of home as a crucial destination
A way back home
Repeating the importance of finding a way back home
Someday I'll know I'll find my way back home
Believing in the eventual discovery of the path home
When this Unreal City gets to me
Feeling overwhelmed by the challenges of an imaginary city
And there's blackbirds on the lawn
Symbolizing ominous signs with blackbirds on the lawn
When I'm tracking time with empty bottles
Using alcohol as a measure of time passing
And my thoughts are car alarms
Experiencing intrusive and disruptive thoughts
I dig up memories of some lost Camelot
Recalling memories of a lost and idealized place
My mother's laugh, my brother's blonde guitar
Evoking memories tied to family and personal history
They say you can't go home again
Acknowledging challenges of returning home after a long absence
When you've been away this long
Expressing doubt about the possibility of returning home
I really hope they're wrong
Maintaining hope despite uncertainties
There's got to be a way to back home
Reiterating the quest to find a way back home
Can't I retrace all my mis-steps
Questioning the feasibility of retracing past mistakes
Can I rebuild her stone by stone
Contemplating the reconstruction of something valuable
There's got to be a way to get back home
Emphasizing the importance of finding a way back home
A chance to turn this thing around
Seeking an opportunity to reverse a negative situation
A place I can start over
Desiring a fresh start and a place to begin anew
Home, A way back home
Highlighting the concept of home as a crucial destination
A way back home
Repeating the importance of finding a way back home
Someday I'll know I'll find my way back home
Believing in the eventual discovery of the path home
