The Road Home
Build us Airplanes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This plan is well devised, see it?
We're in, we're out, there will be no doubt
That we will make it home
The road home is far but we're not alone, no
The skys' eyes don't know where we're going and neither do I
We're twisting in and out of turns
Waiting to see who gets burned
The flame is tame, but will not play games
Or choose names
The road home is far but we're not alone, no
The skys' eyes don't know where we're going and neither
Neither do I
Open up your eyes a minute
This plan is well devised, see it?
Open up your eyes a minute
This plan is well devised, see it?
The lyrics of "The Road Home" by Build Us Airplanes convey themes of determination, uncertainty, and companionship on a journey towards a destination that represents safety and familiarity. The opening lines, "Open up your eyes a minute, This plan is well devised, see it?" suggest a call to awareness and confidence in the chosen path. It portrays a sense of assurance in the plan and the belief that they will successfully reach their destination. The repetition of the phrase "Open up your eyes a minute, This plan is well devised, see it?" emphasizes the importance of being present and attentive to the journey ahead.
The mention of being "in, we're out, there will be no doubt, That we will make it home" reflects a strong conviction and determination to overcome any obstacles encountered. The use of the phrase "We're in, we're out" could symbolize the ups and downs of the journey, but the unwavering belief that they will ultimately reach their desired endpoint. The repetition of the statement "There will be no doubt, That we will make it home" reinforces the sense of resilience and certainty in their ability to succeed.
The imagery of "twisting in and out of turns, Waiting to see who gets burned" suggests the unpredictability and risks involved in the journey. The reference to "The flame is tame, but will not play games, Or choose names" could imply that while challenges may be present, they will not deter the travelers from their goal or cause harm. This imagery adds a layer of tension and anticipation to the narrative, highlighting the potential dangers along the way.
The repeated chorus lines, "The road home is far but we're not alone, no, The sky's eyes don't know where we're going and neither do I" underscore the themes of solidarity and uncertainty. Despite the distance and ambiguous future, the travelers find solace in each other's company and the shared experience of venturing into the unknown. The acknowledgment that neither the sky nor the travelers themselves have a clear understanding of the destination emphasizes the element of mystery and the importance of relying on mutual support to navigate the journey.
