Long way home
Daniel Licht & Jon Licht Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
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

You might not make it

The noise is unbearable for you

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
