Return Home
Honey is Cool Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The darker part of me again,
leaving while sleeping
making you far away

The dark caught up with me again
I tried to leave while you were sleeping,
it has never been this far away
Wouldn't it be great if we were lovers?
Then I wouldn't have to wait this long

Wouldn't it be great if we were lovers?
But when the night comes -
I will return home

Making friends,
I'll try to leave while you are sleeping
making you far away

Wouldn't it be great if we were lovers?
Then I wouldn't have to wait this long

Wouldn't it be great if we were lovers?




But when the night comes -
I will return home

Overall Meaning

The song "Return Home" by Honey is Cool is a poetic expression of the struggle between one's light and dark sides, and the desire for intimacy despite feeling distant from others due to this internal battle.


The opening lyrics, "The darker part of me again, leaving while sleeping, making you far away," sets the tone for the song as the singer acknowledges the presence of their "dark side" or negative tendencies creeping back up. The line "making you far away" alludes to the emotional distance that is created between the singer and their loved ones as a result of this struggle.


As the song progresses, the singer expresses a desire to be close to someone - specifically, if they were lovers, they wouldn't have to wait so long to feel the intimacy they crave. However, the repeated lines "But when the night comes - I will return home" highlight the inevitability of this internal battle, and the fact that no one else can fully understand or resolve it for the singer.


The final lines, "Making friends, I'll try to leave while you are sleeping, making you far away" show a resolution to try to connect with others despite feeling inherently disconnected, even if it means leaving in order to protect them from the singer's darker tendencies.


Overall, "Return Home" is a poignant exploration of the human struggle between light and dark, and the need for connection despite the challenges it brings.
