Home Sweet Home
Paul Brown Featuring Richard Elliot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are the reason I've been waiting so long, somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
Come down on your own and leave your body alone, somebody must change
You are the reason I've been waiting all these years, somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
The lyrics in Paul Brown Featuring Richard Elliot's song "Home Sweet Home" seem to speak to the experience of feeling lost and disconnected from one's self, and perhaps longing for a sense of belonging or purpose. The opening line, "Come down off your throne and leave your body alone," suggests a feeling of detachment or separation from one's physical self. The repeated refrain of "somebody must change" suggests a feeling of frustration or impatience with the current state of affairs, as though something or someone external must alter in order to bring about a sense of personal fulfillment or resolution.
The line "you are the reason I've been waiting so long, somebody holds the key" adds a dimension of longing or desire, as though the singer has been waiting for something or someone to unlock the answers they seek. The final lines, "I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, and I'm wasted and I can't find my way home," brings a sense of urgency and desperation to the lyrics - the singer feels as though time is running out, and they are lost and aimless in their current state.
Overall, the lyrics of "Home Sweet Home" convey a sense of dissatisfaction and yearning for change, while also capturing the disorienting and isolating experience of feeling lost or disconnected from oneself.

Come down off your throne and leave your body alone, somebody must change
Let go of your ego and stop obsessing over your physical form, there needs to be a transformation
You are the reason I've been waiting so long, somebody holds the key
I have been waiting for something because of you, but someone else holds the solution
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
I am running out of time and don't have the luxury to waste it
And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home
I am lost and unable to return to where I belong
