O.S.T. 28 Weeks Later Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can really get a folk
I can even get to titherland
But I wouldn't know the score
So before I go home
Well I'm talking like a little boy
I have nothing more to sayExcept that when I feel like a girl
but I don't what to play
So I'm going home boys
I'm going to be good
I'm going to tell them other boys
That I rather think I should
That I rather think I should
I talk with to them like a
and need a cup of tea
and she's like company
So I'm talking to you
Tell me why I don't know
I dont know
I'm going home to cry
I'm talking like I wanted to
and I have to let through
I don't have to tell when to cook
I don't have to say I do
I only know that when I'm tired
Well I'm talking like a little boy
I don't have to tell you thisWell I'm leaving in the morning
and I'm going with the miss
Could have been a little lighter
A little of a dream
going far to be seen
The lyrics to the O.S.T. 28 Weeks Later's song, Going Home, appear to be somewhat cryptic and open to interpretation. The song seems to convey a sense of confusion or disorientation, with the singer describing their ability to navigate various situations and places ("I can really get a number/I can really get a folk/I can even get to titherland") but admitting that they "wouldn't know the score." Despite this uncertainty, the singer seems to have a clear destination in mind - "So I'm going home boys/I'm going to be good/I'm going to tell them other boys/That I rather think I should." However, even this seems to be tinged with uncertainty, as the singer describes feeling like a girl who doesn't know what to play.
One possible way of interpreting these lyrics is that they represent a sense of a loss of identity or direction. The singer can navigate different spaces and situations, but feels disconnected from a coherent sense of self or purpose. The line "I don't have to tell when to cook/I don't have to say I do" could be read as a rejection of societal expectations around gender roles or domesticity. Ultimately, the singer seems to be seeking some kind of comfort or companionship, as they describe talking to someone and feeling like they need a cup of tea. However, even this seems ultimately unsatisfying, as the singer describes feeling like they don't know why they're going home or that they need to cry.
Overall, Going Home is a song that invites different interpretations and can resonate with listeners in different ways, depending on their own experiences and perspectives.

But I wouldn't know the score
Even if I succeed, I may not fully understand the outcome
So before I go home
Before I return to a place of comfort and familiarity
Well I'm talking like a little boy
I am speaking in a timid or juvenile manner
I have nothing more to say
I have exhausted my ideas and words
Except that when I feel like a girl
Except for the occasions when I feel vulnerable
but I don't what to play
But I am unsure of how to approach the situation
So I'm going home boys
I am returning to my roots
I'm going to be good
I will behave in an appropriate manner
I'm going to tell them other boys
I will inform others of my intentions
That I rather think I should
That I believe it is the right thing to do
I talk with to them like a
I converse with others like a colleague or equal
and need a cup of tea
And require a break or moment of relaxation
and she's like company
And her presence is comforting
So I'm talking to you

Tell me why I don't know
Explain to me why I am uncertain
I dont know
I am unsure
I'm going home to cry
I am returning to a familiar and private space to express emotion
I'm talking like I wanted to
I am speaking in a way that is authentic to my desires
and I have to let through
And I have to express what I am feeling
I don't have to tell when to cook
I am not responsible for domestic duties, such as cooking
I don't have to say I do
I do not have to agree or commit to anything
I only know that when I'm tired
I am aware that exhaustion affects me
Well I'm leaving in the morning
I am departing soon
and I'm going with the miss
And I am going with my partner/spouse
Could have been a little lighter
Things could have been easier, less burdensome
A little of a dream
A bit surreal or fantastical
going far to be seen
Traveling great distances to gain recognition or praise
