Carry Me Home
Gloworm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mama took the kids to school before she went to work
My sister went to Georgia to get away from the smog
My brother went on an interview, still trying to get a job
Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Just a phase in life that everybody goes through
Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home, don't be too long
Carry me home
Friend of ours got married, everybody had a ball
They partied till the morning and they still wanted more
Couple look so happy, I wonder if they'll change
Things never stay the same so let's move along
Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Just a phase in life that everybody goes through
Hey Lord, oh Lord, I did everything I could do
Hey Lord, oh Lord
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
Carry me home (carry me home, carry me home)
Don't be too long (carry me home, carry me home)
(REPEAT TO FADE)
The lyrics to Gloworm's song "Carry Me Home" narrate the difficulty of navigating the ups and downs of life. The song's chorus, "Carry me home, don't be too long," serves as a plea to a higher power for help in times of trouble, as if acknowledging that we all have our own battles and sometimes need assistance.
The first verse paints a picture of people going about their everyday lives, with each family member trying to accomplish their goals. However, sometimes life doesn't work out the way we plan, and despite our best efforts, challenges like unemployment, environmental pollution, and family strife can break us down. The second verse shifts focus to a friend's wedding, which provides a fleeting moment of happiness before the inevitable changes that come with time.
Overall, the song's message seems to be that life is made up of a series of highs and lows, and in those difficult times, we must put our trust in something greater than ourselves to get us through.
