Packed More Trunks Than The Jersey Mob

Than the Jersey mob
There's no turning back
From here
No turning back my friend
So many unfamiliar faces
Hey mister, can you help me
I seem to have lost my way back home
There's no more taking chances
Embrace the ghost
And kill this doubt
You can devour your demons
But they'll never let you go
There's no turning back
From here
No turning back my friend
I'm leaving [I'm leaving]
And never coming back again [Never coming back]
This gun is cocked [Never coming back]
And suited with a bullet called regret
I'm leaving
And never coming back again
Never coming back
A million channels on the TV
All reruns of the past mistakes
The static neither fact nor fiction
It's my excuse to get some sleep
My pulse racing
I can feel the tension
Sweat dripping as it cuts across my brow
How hollow can a person feel
How hollow can a person feel
No!
There's no turning back
From here
No turning back my friend
I'm leaving [I'm leaving]
And never coming back again [Never coming back]
This gun is cocked [Never coming back]
And suited with a bullet called regret
I'm leaving [And never coming back]
And never coming back again
Never coming back
How can you mean all those things you said
The lies that you told
The blood has been washed off my hands
Washed off my hands
By the grace you've shown
How can you mean all those things that you said
The lies that you told
The blood has been washed off my hands
Washed off my hands
By the grace you've shown
The opening line of this song, “I’ve packed more trunks than the Jersey mob”, creates a vivid image of a person constantly on the move, perhaps fleeing from danger or simply unable to settle down. The lyrics hint at a feeling of being lost and disconnected, as the singer describes “so many unfamiliar faces”, suggesting that they don’t have a sense of belonging. The repetition of “there’s no turning back” emphasizes a sense of finality and the feeling that the singer has reached a point of no return.
The second verse of the song seems to suggest a state of anxiety and confusion, with the singer describing a “freight train…running off the track” and asking for help finding their way home. The reference to “devouring your demons” suggests that the singer has inner struggles they’re trying to overcome, but that they feel trapped by these struggles and unable to escape them.
The final section of the song features a repeated declaration of “I’m leaving, and never coming back again”, emphasizing the sense of finality and closure present throughout the track. The final lines of the song, which reference “the lies that you told” and “the blood has been washed off my hands”, suggest that the singer is moving on from a painful situation but has found some form of closure or redemption.
