Long Way from Home
Krokus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All the childhood reflections of me
Walkin' through the memory of long ago
So long ago
We were young, we free
There was nothin' that we couldn't be
Searchin' for adventure
Here as I sit alone in the dark
Million miles away
Wishin' that I could go back to the start
Knowin' that time won't bring back those days
I'm a long way from home
And I feel so all alone
Now my world's far away
And I'm travellin' out into space
To the edge of the universe
It's where I must go, where I will go
Through the stars, sailin' free
With the memory of what used to be
Searchin' for adventure
Lookin' for love
Here as I sit alone in the dark
Million light years away
Wishin' that I could go back to the start
Knowin' that time won't bring back those days
I'm a long way from home
And I feel so all alone
I'm a long way from home
And I feel so all alone
Here as I sit alone in the dark
Million miles away
Wishin' that I could go back to the start
Knowin' that time won't bring back those days
I'm a long way from home
And I feel so all alone
I'm a long way from home
And I feel so all alone
The lyrics to Krokus's song "Long Way From Home" are about feeling nostalgic and yearning for the past. The singer is reminiscing about their childhood, a time when they were free to be anything they wanted to be and were constantly searching for adventure and love. Now, they are a long way from that place both physically and emotionally, feeling lost and alone in the vastness of the universe.
The opening lines of the song, "In my mind I can see/All the childhood reflections of me/Walkin' through the memory of long ago/So long ago," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is looking back on their past self, remembering a time when life was simpler and more carefree. They also acknowledge that time cannot bring back those days, leading to a sense of sadness and longing.
The verses of the song describe a journey through space, as the singer travels to the edge of the universe, searching for something that might make them feel whole again. However, no matter how far they venture, they cannot escape the feeling of loneliness and disconnection.
Overall, "Long Way From Home" is a poignant reflection on the universal desire to return to a time when life seemed easier and more joyful.

In my mind I can see
I can visualize my past in my thoughts
All the childhood reflections of me
I remember who I was as a child
Walkin' through the memory of long ago
I am taking a mental walk through my past
So long ago
It was a very long time ago
We were young, we free
We were young and carefree
There was nothin' that we couldn't be
We were optimistic about the possibilities in our lives
Searchin' for adventure
We were looking for excitement
Lookin' for love
We were seeking romantic relationships
Here as I sit alone in the dark
I am presently alone in a dark place
Million miles away
I feel very distant from where I want to be
Wishin' that I could go back to the start
I lament not making different choices in my life
Knowin' that time won't bring back those days
I understand that I cannot change the past
I'm a long way from home
I am far from my past
And I feel so all alone
I feel isolated from others
Now my world's far away
Where I am now is very different from where I was in the past
And I'm travellin' out into space
I am moving far away from what I once knew
To the edge of the universe
The farthest reaches of space is where I am going
It's where I must go, where I will go
I believe that this is the path that I should be taking
Through the stars, sailin' free
I am journeying through space without any restraints
With the memory of what used to be
I am remembering my past while I travel
Here as I sit alone in the dark
I am still alone and isolated
Million light years away
I feel very far, both temporally and spatially, from where I started
I'm a long way from home
I am distant from my past
And I feel so all alone
Again, I feel isolated from others
I'm a long way from home
I am very far from where I was in the past
And I feel so all alone
My present circumstances make me feel disconnected from others

I don't think I could manage to put into words how profoundly beautiful that guitar solo is by Allan. God bless your soul, Mr. Holdsworth. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift.

Krokus are a great band and they also have a fantastic singer in Marc Storace. He is from Malta. That's right- Maltese! I found that out when researching him. Always thought he was Swiss like the rest of the band. Krokus are to my knowledge the only worldwide success story from Switzerland. That's strange. Switzerland had some great bands. Most of them were not this kind of music though- more psychedelic/progressive. I don't have them alas. Too much money! Thousands and thousands of USD or Euros even!
