Going Home
Kiske Michael Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't think we'll have the time, so let us get in line
Another town another bed, another thing to go
By now I learned to take it cool, but I don't wanna know
My head is empty, all the stories that I've known I've told
The situation I escaped from, now it looks like gold
Anyway and anyhow we did it, it was good
But now I take the time to think 'bout ev'rything I should
'Cause after this I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you
By the time that you think 'bout it twice no spotlight makes you stay
By the time that you feel you don't know, you have to go
[solo]
The plane is ready in my head, so many things to do
A few more hours till it's over I reach out for you
A kind of peace inside is growing, thinking 'bout the shows
Until the next time I'll be so much better, yes I know
Now this is it I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you
I'll go home…
The lyrics of Going Home by Kiske Michael can be interpreted as a reflection on life as a touring musician. The opening lines suggest that the singer or the artist is too busy to delve into the complexities of someone else's mind as they are always moving from one location to another, one performance to another. They seem to have resigned themselves to this pattern of life, taking it all in stride, but without really allowing themselves a chance to connect with anyone or anything on a deeper level.
As the song progresses, they seem to be grappling with the transitory nature of their work, knowing that they will soon have to leave everything behind and go back to their real life. Despite the glamour and excitement of being on the road, the artist seems to realize that there's more to life than just the thrill of performing. The line "By the time that you think 'bout it twice no spotlight makes you stay" hints at the fleeting nature of fame and the realization that eventually, one has to move on to the next phase of life.
However, there's a sense of hope and love that permeates the song, which is seen in the lines "I'll go home to what I know, I'll go home, home to you". The yearning to return to something familiar and stable is palpable, and the artist seems to lean towards the idea that real happiness and contentment are found in the familiarity of home and family.
