Coheed & Cambria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the sorriest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would've endured my will
If you're just as I presumed
Fucking up all I do
Yeah, and if, oh, here we've stopped
Then never again will you see this in your life
And onto the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest, is our love ever low
With truth on the shores of confession
You seem to take premise to all of these, so
You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played leader
I'll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
With love and devotion, I'll die as you sleep
But if you could just write me out
To never this wonder
Happy will I become?
Be true that this is no option
So, with I condemn you demon pray demon out
And on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest, is our love ever low
With truth on the shores of confession
You seem to take premise to all of these, so
One last kiss for you
One more wish 'til you
Please make up your mind girl, I'll do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish 'til you
Please make up your mind girl, before I hope you die
The lyrics to Coheed & Cambria's song "Welcome Home" tell the story of a man who has been betrayed by a lover who he believed to be loyal. He laments that she could have been everything he wanted but was not honest. He expresses his anger and frustration by telling her to get in the ground and saying that she has "choked off the sorriest of favors." He goes on to question whether she ever really loved him, suggesting that she was only pretending to be someone she was not. The man then threatens to punish her, saying that he will drill through her hands and place a stone on her to represent the curse she has placed on him.

You could have been all I wanted
I thought you were perfect for me
But you weren't honest
You didn't tell me the truth
Now get in the ground
I want you to suffer
You choked off the sorriest of favors
You did me wrong when I did nothing but good for you
But if you really loved me
If you truly cared about me
You would've endured my will
You would have accepted what I wanted
If you're just as I presumed
If my assumptions about you are right
You're a whore in sheep's clothing
You pretend to be something you're not
Fucking up all I do
You ruin everything I try to accomplish
Yeah, and if, oh, here we've stopped
This is the end of the line for us
Then never again will you see this in your life
You won't have another chance to hurt me
And onto the glory at my right hand
I'll move on to better things
Here laid to rest, is our love ever low
Our relationship is over and done with
With truth on the shores of confession
I'll be honest about what happened
You seem to take premise to all of these, so
You don't seem surprised by any of this
You stormed off to scar the armada
You left and caused chaos
Like Jesus played leader
You acted like you were in charge
I'll drill through your hands
I'll punish you like you're being crucified
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
You accused me of something I didn't do
With love and devotion, I'll die as you sleep
I'll love you until the very end
But if you could just write me out
If you could just forget about me
To never this wonder
To never experience this again
Happy will I become?
Will I finally be happy without you?
Be true that this is no option
I can't accept any other outcome
So, with I condemn you demon pray demon out
I'll condemn you and ask for forgiveness
And on to the glory at my right hand
I'll move on to better things
One last kiss for you
This is the end for us
One more wish 'til you
One final request
Please make up your mind girl, I'll do anything for you
Please decide what you want, I care about you
Please make up your mind girl, before I hope you die
Please make a decision before it's too late

Finally, someone posted the lyrics.
You could've been all I wanted
But you weren't honest
Now get in the ground
You choked off the surest of favors
But if you really loved me
You would've endured my world
Well, if you're just as I presumed
A whore in sheep's clothing
Fucking up all I do
Yeah, and if so, here we stop
Then never again
Will you see this in your life
Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs
You stormed off to scar the armada
Like Jesus played letter
I'll drill through your hands
The stone for the curse you have blamed me
To neverless wonder... happy will I become
Hang on to the glory at my right hand
Here laid to rest is our love ever longed
With truth on the shores of compassion
You seem to take premise to all of these songs
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
I'd do anything for you
One last kiss for you
One more wish to you
Please make up your mind girl...
Before I hope you die

I’ve been trying to find this song for 10 years. I heard it in passing and couldn’t remember any lyrics and didn’t recognize the band. Today I stumbled upon it…it’s truly an amazing feeling.

Geffery paul-away, if your reading this, this is your old foster brother Immanuel from 2009. You used to listen to this song a lot when we were kids. I was 9 and you were 13. It’s been many years since we talked and seen each other, but I do know this was a song you and I use to listen too. I’m hoping you’ll check the comments and find me through this song. Hopefully you still listen to this. *sorry if I spelled your name wrong, it’s been awhile.*
