IAN feat Tyana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm going down town
Congress Avenue Bridge
Is taking me home
It's 2 a.m.
My girlfriend's sleeping again
This melody
Open up your wicker basket
Shoulder satchel
Name your tasks and find a spot
Take the ones you need
Mold 'em gently, find familiar
Know the meaning
You can understand which way
The fates will go
The glitter and the gaudy show
You'll never have to feel alone
So find your way
And find your way back home
My kittens black
He knows where life's at
He takes his time
He takes it slow
Takes it slow
The song Home by IAN feat Tyana explores the feeling of nostalgia and longing for one's home. The opening line "Lights all around, I'm going down town, Congress Avenue Bridge is taking me home" suggests that the singer is in a city away from their home and the bridge holds significance for them. The use of the word "home" in this line emphasizes the theme of the song and how it is a central part of the singer's identity.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that it is late at night and their girlfriend is sleeping. The melody of the song provides them with a sense of comfort and takes them back to their home. The juxtaposition between the nighttime silence and the comforting melody emphasizes how the singer is alone and that the only thing that can provide them with solace is the memory of their home.
The second half of the song talks about taking the things that you need and finding your way back home. The use of the imagery of a wicker basket and a shoulder satchel emphasizes the idea of being prepared and carrying what is necessary. The singer suggests that this preparation will help you find your sense of belonging and understand which way the fates will go. The use of the black kitten emphasizes the idea of taking things slowly and not rushing back home. It suggests that the journey back home is as important as arriving at home.
