Long Way Home
♫The Offspring [2003 - Splinter] Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm driving down a dusty road
I've got nowhere to go
No place that I can call my own
On and on this road is burning

I'm leaving all this crap behind
The past is gone, the future's blind
Don't care how long it takes this time

On and on I'll take the long way home

The long way home
The long way home
If it's for me it's on the way home

Like fragments of a broken mind
I splinter by my own design
This search is not a waste of time
On and on this road keeps burning

My hands are glued upon the wheel
The road ahead is all I feel
The only thing left that's real
On and on I'll take this long way home

The long way home
The long way home
I will go alone
I will go and find it on my own

What lies ahead

You cannot find for me
On and on I'll take the long way home

Overall Meaning

The Offspring's Long Way Home is a song about embarking on a journey of self-discovery and leaving the past behind. The lyrics describe a person driving down a dusty road with no destination, leaving behind all the negative experiences and emotions behind as a new beginning. The repeated lyrics "On and on this road is burning," signify the urgency of the person to leave their past behind and start fresh.

The lines "Like fragments of a broken mind, I splinter by my own design," indicate that the person recognizes their own part in their past struggles but is committed to breaking away from them. The journey is not an easy one, but it is a necessary one, as the lyrics "This search is not a waste of time" suggest that this is a journey worth taking. The lyrics "What lies ahead, you cannot find for me," highlights the individuality of the journey and that only the person themselves can find their true destination.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm driving down a dusty road
I am on a path that is not clean and smooth

I've got nowhere to go
I don't have any definite location in mind to drive towards

No place that I can call my own
There's no destination that I would feel ownership towards

On and on this road is burning
I drive without rest and the journey is starting to take its toll

I'm leaving all this crap behind
I'm dismissing all the negative thoughts that weighed me down

The past is gone, the future's blind
I'm not dwelling on what is already done, and I cannot predict what comes next

Don't care how long it takes this time
I am patient to let time take its natural course

On and on I'll take the long way home
I am committed to making an extended journey to reach my desired state of mind

The long way home
The road to a peaceful state of mind is long and arduous

The long way home
The long way is the best way towards peace of mind

If it's for me it's on the way home
I will achieve a worthwhile destination before I return home

Like fragments of a broken mind
My thoughts are scattered and conflicted

I splinter by my own design
I am responsible for my current state of mind

This search is not a waste of time
The journey may be long, but it's worth it to reach that clarity of mind

On and on this road keeps burning
I am willing to endure fire, which symbolizes the difficulty of my journey

My hands are glued upon the wheel
I am fully focused on driving towards a better state of mind

The road ahead is all I feel
I am consumed by my journey and not caught up in external distractions

The only thing left that's real
My journey towards clarity is the most important thing left in my life

I will go alone
I may take the same journey as others, but I am on a personal mission to better myself

I will go and find it on my own
The resolution to my struggle will come from within myself rather than external sources

What lies ahead
I don't know what the future holds

You cannot find for me
Nobody else can give me the answers I seek

On and on I'll take the long way home
I am committed to making an extended journey to reach my desired state of mind

Yeah I think most of us fell through the cracks.
School just wants to to graduate, they don’t care as much if you cheat or not on tests. They just want to get themselves a good score so they can get more money.
Teachers are crushed by the amount of work, student behavior, educational board requirements, im sure there’s more.
Parents just want to see you succeed. But they won’t tell you how to. Or teach you how to bc that’s the “schools job”

I think there is a fundamental disconnect between parents, school boards and teachers.

I think it’s safe to say that Americans schools are useless when it comes to getting kids, teens and young adults ready for the “real world”

It’s no wonder people fail hard after high school or college.

When we were young, the future was so bright
Woah-oh
The old neighborhood was so alive
Woah-oh
And every kid on the whole damn street
Woah-oh
Was gonna make it big and not be beat
Now the neighborhood's cracked and torn
Woah-oh
The kids are grown up, but their lives are worn
Woah-oh
How can one little street swallow so many lives?
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams (go!)
Jamie had a chance, well, she really did
Woah-oh
Instead she dropped out and had a couple of kids
Woah-oh
Mark still lives at home 'cause he's got no job
Woah-oh
He just plays guitar and smokes a lot of pot
Jay commited suicide
Woah-oh
Brandon OD'd and died
Woah-oh
What the hell is going on?
The cruelest dream, reality
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for, used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams (Go!)
Chances thrown
Nothing's free
Longing for (what), used to be
Still it's hard, hard to see
Fragile lives
Shattered dreams

I was a teacher then and I'm a teacher now. In many ways kids are kids are kids, but in some interesting and scary ways today's kids are so different that they could be regarded as a different species. And no, they are definitely NOT alright. Their parents are the kids in this film clip.

“The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.” - credited to Socrates. . .

kids are kids and always have been - its the adults that raise them that aren't alright.

back when I didn't speak any English all these punk rock bands from late 90's/early 2000's sounded so positive and high energy. I had no idea what they were saying so these songs would always cheer me up and make my day seem brighter. Little did I knew these lyrics were deeply depressing or anti-stablishment.

Yes! I just came across it by chance and thought to myself: "Offspring, you haven't heard that for a long time!" Oh boy...the lyrics...what the hell....
But it is what it is. Friends actually killed themselves, smoked weed and were unemployed.
That's how it is. I decided a few years ago to become the master of my own destiny. Everyone is responsible for getting themselves out of their own mess. Pull yourselves together and blame YOURSELVES. You can do it....

we are all gonna make it brah, that's it.

"Kids Aren't Alright" by The Offspring captures the essence of our collective struggle, echoing louder in today's world. We were those kids, and it seems the cycle continues with conditions worsening for the next generation. But amidst the chaos, rock and metal have always been our glue, the powerful force that held us together. These genres are more than music; they're a community, a form of resistance, and a source of strength. As we navigate these turbulent times, let's remember the bond that rock and metal have forged among us. They've been our solace, our rallying cry, and our call to unity. Let's lean on that unbreakable bond, support one another, and continue to be the change we've always sought. Together, with rock and metal as our anchor, we can weather any storm.

I used to like this song in my teens because it sounded sick and catchy, now I'm 35 and it gives me goosebumps. when your young and have the whole world Infront you don't realise the kind of shit you're going to see or fall into, how fast people around you change, falling into the pits and ruts of life sometimes never to be seen again. This song has a whole new feeling to me now, it still sounds sick, it's just more morose.

This song is a textbook example of good songwritting. Every 4 measures the storytelling from the lyrics goes deeper and deeper, avoids sounding redundant and keeps adding tension for the chorus to be expected and it hits just on time so the message from it hits harder each time and the melodic elements like the bass line, the guitar solos and riffs are simple and effective, very well implemented.

@@devild1986 Every song follows a formula whatsoever, but I get what you mean. Still, I think that whether you follow a more conventional song structure or not each section must collide properly, let's say there's a song that wants to "be different" and add a pre-verse that doesn't fit, in that case I'd rather listen to a more conventional song in terms of structure, but well implemented.

I'm 40 now, was in my early 30's when I finally got that "spark" that kicks off things getting on track. Until then I'd gone from being young and hopeful in my teens/early 20s to spending about 12 years jaded and smoking a lot of heroin and crack (fear of needles saved my life there!) but things are so much better now. trust me, no matter how down you are and how bad shit gets you just never can ever know what's around the corner. Was just coming to the comments to say this tune somehow always puts me in mind of Chester Bennington, even having it all can't cure a depressive personality, but sometimes it takes very little at all to help out. hopefully this comment helps even one person to just keep on keeping on and not taking the permanent way out.

I remember hearing this song in my teens, and the second verse where he is saying where all the people ended up sounded so mad. And now about a decade later that second verse hits home because that's exactly what happened to me, so many of my friends and people I knew. Funny how a couple of years can change the whole energy of the song...

For those wondering:
Russian cover artist makes covers of various rock songs. his latest song was "The offspring - the kids aren't alright".
Because of the dedication of his fans, they decided to invade original videos, and post comments along the lines of "listening to this after Tapok's cover", and "thank you for reminding me of what nostalgia feels like".
On behalf of Russian community, I would like to apologize to the inconvenience we caused you.
Edit: I am glad I was able to help several people with this.

For me the song is hitting the point that as younger people we had all the potential of the world in our hands and dreams we could chase - but as we grew older, our financial situation - family and all the crap we had to deal with along the way changed us - we had to focus on surviving - earning to pay bills - dealing with terrible family dynamics that influences how we saw the world and how we reacted to what situations we found our selves in, some of our own making, other situations were out of our controls - hence the shattered dreams and wasted potential, cruelest dream is reality if you dont make yourself strong enough to overcome the challenges --- 39 years old and this song hits hard - im not where i dreamed I would be as a teenager - but I am thankful for what I have fought for - it could have been much worse.

Your comment hits so hard, only truths, that's also why time is so precious, having lost +10 years of my life from my adolescence until I was almost 27 it hurts terribly. It's supposed to be the best and greatest time of our lives and I didn't get to enjoy it, partly my fault to be honest but there were too many things I couldn't control.. and it That's what hurts the most. I don't know where I will be in 10 years, all I can say to the younger people reading this comment is that under no circumstances should you waste your time or stay in a place where you get bored. If your life seems dull and you are missing out on something, wake up, you can still pull yourself together! You have to go for it and enjoy, experiment and discover as much as you can, do good around you, as best you can and above all don't look back. Life is far too short and precious to waste your time, the worst thing is to find yourself in 10, 15 or 20 years and have regrets. You must avoid that at all costs, regrets are the worst thing, I know that you have already seen and heard this type of speech many times and that it is much easier to to say what to do, I had exactly this kind of reaction and today I bitterly regret it. If you need help, get help, talk to someone, anyone, but above all don't stay alone, whoever you are, no matter where you are there will always be people who appreciate you and who will love you! Be yourself as much as possible, don't be afraid and move forward, move forward, move forward again and again. I want that in 10 years or more you will have no regrets when you come back to listen to your favorite music, YouTube is the greatest time machine so until then I want your nostalgia for the future to make you much more happy than sad !

What you say is so true, been listening to this type of music for the past 20yrs only, before I use to be a edm freak, but the words in these songs hit hard reality as if these guys can see the future, had I know back then what I know now, I would have made all the same mistakes as they where well worth it, however fixing them would have been so much easier........For those of you young than 30 yrs old, listen to the above mentioned words carefully as it is straight out reality, wise words to follow and I quote "Do not create problems for your self, as other people will create enough problems for you" I never new what it meant at the time I was told, 37 years later I now know that this is the reality this world issues to us all........ My man you are a legend for putting this out there and even if your words only helps 1 youngster it would have been well worth it ...
