Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fontaine's song "Long Way Home" seem to be about the aftermath of a relationship or a person who has left. The song opens up with the question, "Got your wish? Are you proud of it? Does it make you feel like it?" The singer is questioning whether the person they are addressing got what they wanted, and if they are happy with their decision. The pre-chorus sets up the theme of the song with the repetition of "This is how it is." It is indicating that things are the way they are, and there is nothing that can be done to change it.


The second verse continues questioning the person who left, asking if they ran away or heard the singer crying after they left. Even though the person has left, the singer can still hear their voice, and they have no choice but to lie and stay where they are. The chorus is repeated twice and is the most impactful part of the song, stating that although it's a long way home, at least the singer is trying. The third verse continues with the same themes as the first two, asking the person if they got what they wanted and if it makes them feel better. The chorus repeats once more.


Overall, the lyrics of the song are about the aftermath of heartbreak and how the singer is trying to move on despite being haunted by the person who has left. The overall theme of the song is that even though things are difficult, the singer is doing their best to move on and move forward.
