Long way home
Jon Licht Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting dark
You're all alone
There's nothing left
But a place called home

You're worried sick
You might not make it
There's so much noise
You just can't take it

It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
And all you hear are lullaby

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
An angel in a dark dress
Don't you leave me here

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
I'm in a sea of darkness
So don't you leave me here

So don't you leave me here
So don't you leave me…

The cold floor
Pressed on your face
You ask yourself
What is this place?

A place where things
Aren't what they seem
Eternity
To haunt your dreams

It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
And all you hear are lullaby

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
An angel in a dark dress
Don't you leave me here

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
I'm in a sea of darkness
So don't you leave me here

So don't you leave me here
So don't you leave me here

It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
And all you hear are lullaby

It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
It's getting darker now
And all you hear are lullaby

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
An angel in a dark dress
Don't you leave me here

It's a long way home
And all I see is darkness
I'm in a sea of darkness
So don't you leave me here





So don't you leave me here
So don't you leave me here

Overall Meaning

"Long Way Home" by Jon Licht is a song about feeling lost and alone, both physically and mentally. The opening lines of the song set the scene, with the singer in an unfamiliar and unsettling place, with no one around to offer comfort or guidance. The repetition of "It's getting darker now" creates a sense of dread and hopelessness, as the singer faces an uncertain and perilous journey.


As the song progresses, we learn more about the nature of this journey. The singer is struggling with internal turmoil, symbolized by the image of "a sea of darkness." The mention of an "angel in a dark dress" suggests that the singer is looking for some kind of salvation or redemption, and is fearful of being abandoned or left alone in their struggles.


Overall, "Long Way Home" is a poignant meditation on the universal human experience of feeling lost and alone, and the need for connection and support during times of hardship.


Line by Line Meaning

It's getting dark
The night is closing in


You're all alone
You're feeling isolated


There's nothing left
You're running out of options


But a place called home
You're longing for your familiar surroundings


You're worried sick
You're anxious and afraid


You might not make it
You're unsure if you can survive


There's so much noise
You're overwhelmed by the chaos


You just can't take it
You feel like you're at your breaking point


It's getting darker now
The situation is becoming bleaker


And all you hear are lullaby
You're beginning to lose consciousness


It's a long way home
The journey ahead is difficult and uncertain


And all I see is darkness
There is no light at the end of the tunnel


An angel in a dark dress
A glimmer of hope in a hopeless situation


Don't you leave me here
Please don't abandon me


I'm in a sea of darkness
Feeling lost and alone in a dark expanse


So don't you leave me here
I desperately need you to stay


The cold floor
The harsh reality of your situation


Pressed on your face
Overwhelming and suffocating


You ask yourself
You're questioning your fate


What is this place?
You're struggling to come to terms with your surroundings

Dexter is the type of tv show I could watch over and over again and not be sick of it. It definitely helps to watch it while waiting for season six. Let's hope it premieres on the 25th of September instead of Oct 2nd!

I'm still here! Greetings from dexter season 2 episode 4. are you here????????

Ludauss

Jon Licht has some awesome lyrics in his music

Jason Sanders

Takes me back to some dark days---- gives me chills--- thank God I was able to pull out of it--- sometimes its difficult to find the light--- the hard struggles make you appreciate the light that much more

Just heard the tiniest snippet of this song on Dexter.   Immediately came here, and heard the whole song, then downloaded it.  AMAZING.  Then, I noticed the timing.   What a great song, and how it goes with the season I am watching.   Episodes later, I am noticing the genius of this.  They are seamless.  This in now in constant rotation on my iPhone.   Commenter below nailed it on "Dexter's angel in a dark dress".   Wow...just WOW.   Anyway, beautiful song Mr. Licht.

SeductiveSoup

This song fits Dexter so well. It explains him
And his inner demons from his point of view inside of himself. Great song.
