Home Sweet Home
Ofln - Mötley Crüe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel left all alone
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

Ooh, I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah
I'm on my way




Just set me free
Home sweet home

Overall Meaning

The song Home Sweet Home by Mötley Crüe is an anthem for restless dreamers who have run away from their problems to find their true selves. The lyrics are very personal to the band members since they were on a long tour at the time and had been away from home for a long time. The opening line 'You know I'm a dreamer, but my heart's of gold,' is a direct reference to the band's struggles and their determination. The lyrics 'I had to run away high so I wouldn't come home low' suggest that they couldn't face going back home until they have conquered their problems.


The phrase 'just one more night, and I'm coming off this long and winding road' gives listeners the sense of the band's yearning for home. When they sing 'take me to your heart, feel me in your bones,' they seem to be referring to their fans as a collective entity that will always be with them no matter how far they travel. The song's chorus is an affirmation of the band's return home after all their struggles, and they sing it with a sense of hope and triumph.


Line by Line Meaning

You know I'm a dreamer
I have high hopes and aspirations


But my heart's of gold
I am a good-natured person


I had to run away high
I had to leave in order to avoid hitting rock bottom


So I wouldn't come home low
I didn't want to face defeat or failure


Just when things went right
Even when things were going well


It doesn't mean they were always wrong
It's important to remember that mistakes are part of the journey


Just take this song and you'll never feel left all alone
This song will always be there for you, providing comfort and solace


Take me to your heart
Accept me and my music into your life


Feel me in your bones
Let the music move you deeply


Just one more night
I only need one more night before I'm done with my current struggle


And I'm comin' off this long and winding road
I'm almost at the end of a difficult journey


I'm on my way
I'm making progress towards my goal


Home sweet home
I'm returning to a place where I feel safe and comfortable


Tonight, tonight
It's finally happening tonight


You know that I've seen
I have experienced


Too many romantic dreams
Many of my dreams were unrealistic and idealistic


Up in lights, fallin' off the silver screen
My dreams were often tied to fame and glamour


My heart's like an open book
I wear my heart on my sleeve and am emotionally vulnerable


For the whole world to read
My feelings are evident to everyone


Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams
Sometimes I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams


Just set me free
Allow me to be myself and pursue my own path
