Long Way Home
Nessi gomes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They are fading
The sun It is falling
The stars They are fading
The moon It slips into the dark
It slips into the night
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone
It's early in the morning
The moon is hardly showing
There are creatures all around
See their shadows hear their sounds
But they're taking me places
Places I don't know
It's getting kind of spooky
Should I stay or follow?
But they take me by the hand
And whisper in my ear
"There's no need to worry
First lets make that clear
But were gonna take you places
Places you will know
They look kind of different
But not to your heart or to your soul
But just open up your senses
And let the light in
You've now reached these gates
So you may as well step in"
The mystery unfolds
As she walks along the path
The trees talk to her
Finally at last
It's a long way home; it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn; I'll be back at dawn
It's a long way home; it's a long way home
I'll be back at dawn, got to walk this road alone
It's early in the morning
The water due is falling
The leaves are on the ground
Blowing up and blowing down
As she gazes at the night sky
With tears in her eyes
She prays to the moon
"Please help me walk this life"
She takes two steps forward
And walks the windy road
She hears the voices in her head Speak loud and bold – They Say
"Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind,
Take hold of every beaming light that you can find!
Such torturous desires
They'll dig deep in your skin
Sucking onto any living or moving thing.
So just take a breath with life
And let the goodness in
You see, its all around you
You just have to let it in"
So the mystery concludes
As she stumbles to her knees
The moon shines down at her
Tells her, "Love is all there is"
Love is all there is… Love is all there is…
The lyrics in Nessi Gomes' song "Long Way Home" explore a feeling of weariness and a journey towards finding peace and love. The repeated line "it's a long way home" suggests a feeling of frustration and the desire to find a sense of comfort and belonging. The lines "But they're taking me places / Places I don't know" depict a sense of uncertainty and being led down an unknown path. The imagery of the moon and stars fading and slipping into darkness contributes to a feeling of being lost and disconnected.
However, as the song progresses, the lyrics shift towards a more hopeful and positive outlook. The lines "But were gonna take you places / Places you will know" and "You've now reached these gates / So you may as well step in" suggest a welcomed invitation to explore new and familiar places. The advice given in the lines "Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind / Take hold of every beaming light that you can find" encourage a sense of gratitude and attentiveness to the beauty in life. Ultimately, the song concludes with the message that love is all there is, a unifying and universal force that connects and brings peace.
Overall, the lyrics in "Long Way Home" use rich imagery and poetic language to convey a feeling of longing and the hope for a peaceful journey towards love and belonging.

The stars
The bright lights in the sky
They are fading
Slowly disappearing from view
The sun It is falling
The daylight is ending
The moon It slips into the dark
The moon moves into the darkness of night
It slips into the night
Leaves the sky and moves into the darkness
It's a long way home, it's a long way home
Returning home will not happen soon
I'll be back at dawn, I'll be back at dawn
Returning home when the sun comes out
It's early in the morning
The day is just beginning
The moon is hardly showing
The moon is not yet completely visible
There are creatures all around
Animals can be seen and heard
See their shadows hear their sounds
Witnessing the movement and sounds they make
But they're taking me places
Being guided to different locations
Places I don't know
Unfamiliar territories
It's getting kind of spooky
Starting to feel scared
Should I stay or follow?
Uncertain about what to do
But they take me by the hand
Being helped along the way
And whisper in my ear
Speaking softly to reassure
"There's no need to worry
No need to be afraid
First lets make that clear
It's important to establish this first
But were gonna take you places
Taking to other locations
Places you will know
Places that will become familiar
They look kind of different
May appear unusual
But not to your heart or to your soul
But will feel familiar to the inner self
But just open up your senses
Allow yourself to experience it fully
And let the light in
Embrace the beauty around you
You've now reached these gates
Arrive at a new destination
So you may as well step in"
Might as well explore and see what's there
The mystery unfolds
Uncovering something unknown
As she walks along the path
As she continues to explore
The trees talk to her
Hearing the sounds of nature
Finally at last
Reaching the end of a journey
The water due is falling
Heavy mist or dew is present
The leaves are on the ground
Autumn leaves have fallen
Blowing up and blowing down
Moving with the wind
As she gazes at the night sky
Watching the stars and moon
With tears in her eyes
Crying or feeling emotional
She prays to the moon
Asking for guidance and strength
"Please help me walk this life"
Asking for assistance to navigate life
She takes two steps forward
Continuing to move forward, despite struggles
And walks the windy road
Traveling down a difficult path
She hears the voices in her head
Hearing inner thoughts, fears, or doubts
Speak loud and bold – They Say
Internal voices seem authoritative
"Don't drift into suspicious corners of your mind,
Discouraging negative or doubtful thoughts
Take hold of every beaming light that you can find!
Focus on the positive and uplifting things
Such torturous desires
Negative thoughts or emotions
They'll dig deep in your skin
These thoughts and emotions can harm inner peace
Sucking onto any living or moving thing.
Negativity can easily attach itself to anything
So just take a breath with life
Take a moment to appreciate the life around you
And let the goodness in
Allow positive energy to flow through you
You see, its all around you
Goodness is present in the world
You just have to let it in"
It's important to be open and receptive
So the mystery concludes
The unknown is resolved
As she stumbles to her knees
Falling to the ground in exhaustion, pain, or relief
The moon shines down at her
The moon provides light and comfort
Tells her, "Love is all there is"
Conveys the importance of love and compassion
Love is all there is… Love is all there is…
Repeating the message of the importance of love
