Sweet Home
Motley Crue feat. Chester Bennington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this
Long and winding road
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together
At the seams
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah yeah
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
The lyrics to "Home Sweet Home '05" by Mötley Crüe feat. Chester Bennington speak to the desire for a place to call home, a place where one can feel accepted, loved and at peace. The song is about the struggles one faces when trying to find a place where they can belong, and the journey towards that goal. The song also highlights the hardships that come with pursuing one's dreams, and the sacrifices one has to make along the way.
The opening lines of the song, "You know I'm a dreamer, but my heart's of gold, I had to run away high, so I wouldn't come home low" captures the essence of the song. The singer is a dreamer and has had to leave home to pursue his dreams. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have faced some difficulties at home, but he doesn't let that deter him from his dreams. The catchy chorus, "I'm on my way, just set me free, home sweet home" reminds us that the journey to finding one's home isn't easy, but it's worth it.
The verses of the song talk about the ups and downs of pursuing one's dreams, the loneliness that comes with it, and the difficulties that one may face along the way. The line "My heart's like an open book, for the whole world to read" suggests the vulnerability that the singer faces while pursuing his dreams. However, despite the hardship, the song emphasizes the importance of never giving up, and staying true to oneself, to eventually arrive at one's destination.

You know I'm a dreamer
I have big aspirations and ambitions
But my heart's of gold
I have a kind and caring personality
I had to run away high
I had to escape my problems and difficulties by indulging in drugs or other escapes
So I wouldn't come home low
So I wouldn't come to a place of sadness and disappointment
Just when things went right
Just because things were going well
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
It doesn't mean everything was terrible before
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Just listen to this song and you'll realize
Left all alone
You're not completely isolated
Take me to your heart
Embrace me completely
Feel me in your bones
Let me become a part of you
Just one more night
Just one more time
And I'm comin' off this
And I'm leaving behind this
Long and winding road
Difficult and unpredictable journey
I'm on my way
I'm making progress, headed in the right direction
Home sweet home
The place I feel most comfortable and at peace
Tonight tonight
This very moment
You know that I've seen
I've been exposed to
Too many romantic dreams
Too many unrealistic and idealistic expectations
Up in lights, fallin' off
Featured in the spotlight and then losing it
The silver screen
The movie industry
My heart's like an open book
I'm transparent and vulnerable
For the whole world to read
For everyone to see and judge
Sometimes nothing keeps me together
Occasionally I feel like I'm falling apart
At the seams
Emotionally and mentally falling apart
Just set me free
Just let me go and allow me to be myself
Yeah yeah
An expression of excitement, anticipation or agreement

Esta canción es una de mis favoritas pero no había escuchado está versión con Chester b.(rip) y Vince Neil sus voces combinan y salió extraordinaria gracias por esa version❤

My number 1 absolute favorite song for sooo many years. I didn't think it could ever get better, but with Chester singing with Vince, it is friggin unbelievable. Today is the Anniversary of his passing 6 years without the greatest singer of our time. He was such a good soul and helped so so many through his music. I wish we could have helped him, too. RIP, Chester you are Never Forgotten and will forever be missed 😢
