Long way home
Daniel Licht & Jon Licht Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It′s getting dark
You're all alone
There′s nothing left
But a place call home

You're worrying sick
You might not make it
There's so much noise
You just can′t take it

It′s getting darker now
It's getting darker now
It′s getting darker now
And all you hear were lullaby

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
An angel in a dark dress
Don′t you leave me here

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
I′m in a seal of darkness
So don't you leave me here
So don't you leave me here
So don′t you leave me...

The cold floor
Press on your face
You ask yourself
What is this place?

A place within
Aren′t what they seen
Eternity
To haunt your dreams

It's getting darker now
It′s getting darker now
It's getting darker now
And all you hear were lullaby

It′s a long way home
And all I see is darkness
An angel in a dark dress
Don't you leave me here

It′s a long way home
And all I see is darkness
I'm in a seal of darkness
So don't you leave me here
So don′t you leave me here
So don′t you leave me here

It's getting darker now
It′s getting darker now
It's getting darker now
And all you hear were lullaby

It′s getting darker now
It's getting darker now
It′s getting darker now
And all you hear were lullaby

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
An angel in a dark dress
Don't you leave me here

It′s a long way home
And all I see is darkness
I′m in a seal of darkness
So don't you leave me here




So don′t you leave me here
So don't you leave me here

Overall Meaning

The song "Long Way Home" by Daniel Licht and Jon Licht is a haunting ballad that speaks about the feeling of loneliness, hopelessness, and despair that can come over someone in the darkness of the night. The lyrics describe a person who is all alone and trying to make their way home but is struggling with the weight of their fears and worries. The darkness of the night serves as a metaphor for the emotional darkness that the person is experiencing, and the line "and all I see is darkness" underscores this sense of hopelessness.


The lyrics also contain a sense of desperation, with the repeated lines "don't you leave me here" adding to the feeling of vulnerability and fear. The idea of an "angel in a dark dress" suggests that the person may be seeking comfort or salvation but is not sure if they will find it.


Overall, "Long Way Home" is a powerful and emotive song that speaks to the universal experience of feeling lost, alone, and afraid in life.

It's getting dark
The environment is growing increasingly dim


You're all alone
You are in solitude, without company


There's nothing left
Everything has been used up or taken away


But a place call home
Despite the emptiness around, there is still a place to call home


You're worrying sick
You are terribly anxious


You might not make it
You are afraid that you will fail


There's so much noise
There is too much sound around you


You just can't take it
The noise is unbearable for you


It's getting darker now
The environment is getting even darker


And all you hear were lullaby
The only thing audible around you are soft sounds


It's a long way home
The path to reach home is arduous


And all I see is darkness
The environment is completely dark


An angel in a dark dress
A savior or guardian angel in the form of a darkly dressed individual


Don't you leave me here
Please do not abandon or desert me here

So don't you leave me here
Please do not abandon or desert me here


The cold floor
The ground beneath your body is lacking heat


Press on your face
Your face is in contact with the cold ground


You ask yourself
You question yourself internally


What is this place?
You are uncertain of the location you find yourself in


A place within
A location inside oneself


Aren't what they seen
What one sees externally is not always what lies within


Eternity
A never-ending period of time


To haunt your dreams
To have a perpetual impact on one's thoughts and emotions
