Long way home
Bad Chase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Do you still remember what I said back then
You're the sound of the heavy rain
Your words are the hurricane
The roar of your winds I can feel my heart's not safe, not safe
The nights that we share, you hands and your stare. I'm waiting for answers
You always compare the best of you against the worst in me
Every time I pause i cant deny, I'm not over you
I wanna forget your taste, and leave no trace at all
I don't know what I'm headed for, i regret i didn't give it all. I wish I could make you stay
The nights that we share, you hands and your stare
I'm waiting for answers. You always compare the best of you against the worst in me
Can you listen first before you leave
There are things I'm not certain of
Why do I repeat the same mistakes
I asked myself again
Why'd you have to go
The nights that we share, you hands and your stare. I'm waiting for answers
You always compare the best of you against the worst in me
Can you listen first before you leave
And I hope I wont forget everything
From start to finish but this pain is too much
My shoulders are heavy with nowhere to go
I'll be gone I'll take the long way home
The song Long Way Home by Bad Chase is a powerful representation of the feelings experienced after a breakup. The song starts off by reminiscing about the past and how things used to be. The singer remembers how they looked at their partner and what they said. But now those moments seem like distant memories as the storm of emotions takes over. The partner is compared to the sound of heavy rain and their words are compared to a hurricane. The partner's actions have affected the singer's heart and they are no longer safe. The lyrics show how the emotions of a breakup can feel as destructive as a natural disaster.
The chorus of the song repeats the command to listen first before leaving. The lyrics convey the message that communication is essential for a relationship to work. The singer wants answers and wants to understand what went wrong. But, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that the relationship has ended and the singer is struggling to move on. They cannot deny that they are not over their partner and want to forget the taste of their love. They regret not giving their all and wish they could make their partner stay.
The song's last verse reveals that the singer is uncertain and keeps making the same mistakes. They are left wondering why their partner left and what they could have done differently. The song's final lines, "My shoulders are heavy with nowhere to go / I'll be gone I'll take the long way home" represents the weight of negative emotions experienced after a breakup and the long road to recovery.
