Going Home
Lakota John And Kim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Goin' home tomorrow
Can't stand your evil ways
Goin' home tomorrow
Can't stand your evil ways

When you're around me
I'm full of misery all day
I can't go on
I can't go on this way
I can't go on
I can't go on this way

You don't want my loving
So I'm going away to stay

Don't try to find me
Don't ever call me on the phone
Don't try to find me
Don't ever call me on the phone





I'm better off without you
So won't you leave poor me alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song "Going Home" by Lakota John And Kim are a powerful message about leaving a toxic and unbearable situation. The singer has had enough of their partner's evil ways and misery-inducing behavior, and is taking the necessary steps to leave the relationship. The repetition of the lines "Goin' home tomorrow, Can't stand your evil ways" underscores the urgency of the situation, and the determination of the singer to escape.


The second stanza of the song highlights the toll that the toxic relationship has taken on the singer's mental and emotional health. They can no longer go on living in misery, and it is clear that the situation is unsustainable. The clearest indication that the singer is leaving for good is expressed in the line "You don't want my loving, So I'm going away to stay". The singer is taking control of their own life and deciding to remove themselves from a situation that is doing them harm.


The final stanza of the song is a final plea for the partner to respect the singer's decision and leave them alone. The line "I'm better off without you, So won't you leave poor me alone" encapsulates the message of the song - that leaving a toxic relationship is an act of self-care and self-preservation, and that the singer is taking control of their own life and well-being.


Overall, "Going Home" is a powerful and empowering message about the importance of setting healthy boundaries and leaving toxic relationships. The lyrics are simple and direct, but convey a message that is both urgent and profound.
