On Our Way Home
Empire of the Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

True hearts rely on never getting lost in the night
This million lights that lead us on the way
The more we follow them we fall in love
So get us home

Say what you mean
Do what you will
Brother you'll reach inside yourself tonight

Ohh this is where we
Ohh this is where we
Ohh this is where we begin
On our way home

True hearts will wipe away every tear from your eyes
There should be no more without the pain
The former things have passed away beyond
So get us home

Say what you mean
Do what you will
Brother you'll reach inside yourself tonight

Ohh this is where we
Ohh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home
Ohh this is where we
Ohh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home

On our way home, way home
On our way home, way home
On our way home
On our way home, way home
On our way
On our way home, way home

Ohh this is where we
Ohh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home
Ohh this is where we
Ohh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home

On our way home, way home
On our way home, way home
On our way home
On our way home, way home




On our way
On our way home, way home

Overall Meaning

The opening line, "True hearts rely on never getting lost in the night," suggests that those who are true to themselves and their hearts will never falter on their journey. The "million lights that lead us on the way" symbolize the people, experiences, and moments that guide us towards our destination. These lights may be small or immense, but they all play a role in pushing us towards our goals. As we follow these lights, we fall in love with the journey itself, which is why we must "get us home" - to our ultimate purpose.

The repetition of "this is where we begin, on our way home" suggests that each moment is a new beginning on the journey home. The second verse, "True hearts will wipe away every tear from your eyes, there should be no more without the pain, the former things have passed away beyond" speaks to the idea that the journey may be difficult, but it ultimately leads to healing and growth.


Overall, "On Our Way Home" encourages listeners to trust their hearts and the journey they are on. The song is a reminder that every moment is a new beginning and that we must enjoy and embrace the journey, even in the face of obstacles.
