S Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The sun's rays don't bother me
No they cast down such a wonderful heat
Masking beauty
By a terrible fate

If you fly to close and then you turn too late
The night still confuses me
We'd all get tired and have to sleep eventually

Regardless of the sun?s demands
Regardless if it made much sense
You moved so far that I know how far
And then you got so sad that I, I bought a car

Yes I'll come get you
And I will bring you home
I'll come get you
And I will bring you home

He sat me down
He said he was incomplete
He thinks true love?s gonna get him back on his feet
He said you only find love once in your life

So I guess when you find it you gonna hold it right
you'll hold it right
It makes no sense
'Cause there's no sense in it at all

We all wait around
We wait for you to get tired and fall
As your shadow it resumes in me
Yes your shadow it was made for me

She speaks clearly
He speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
Yes she speaks clearly

He speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
Ya my shadow well it resumes with me
Yes my shadow well it was made for me

She told me love will come once in your life
So I guess when you find it
You gonna hold it right
You gonna hold it right

You hold it right
You moved so far that I knew exactly how far
And then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
Yes I'll come get you

And I will bring you home
I'll come get you
And I will bring you home




I'll come get you
And I'll say welcome home

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of S's song Welcome Home are quite enigmatic, conveying a sense of paradoxical feeling as the songwriter explains how the sun's rays - something that symbolizes warmth and light, and considered one of the most essential elements for life - don't bother him. He describes how the sun's rays cast down a "wonderful heat," masking beauty "by a terrible fate." The next lines of the song feel quite cryptic, as the songwriter likens a situation to a sudden turn, where one may "fly too close and then turn too late." This line could reflect how, in life, we often approach things arrogantly and without care, but then realize, too late, that our actions or choices have impacted us negatively, causing some kind of regret.


The following lines of the song, "The night still confuses me / We'd all get tired and have to sleep eventually," shifts the narrative slightly, while still keeping this sense of enigma. It could imply the songwriter's struggle with insomnia or difficulties of grappling with life's complexities. The lines convey an acceptance of the inevitability of weariness and sleep, but also highlight how being awake at night can be disorienting and confusing.


As the song progresses, we hear about the singer buying a car because a loved one got sad and moved away, and them declaring they will come and pick them up and bring them home. There are references to waiting and holding on to "true love" once it is found, even though it may not make much sense. The final lines of the song, "She speaks clearly / He speaks loudly / I speak only clearly loudly / Yes, she speaks clearly / He speaks loudly / I speak only clearly loudly / My shadow, it resumes with me / Yes, my shadow, it was made for me," could reflect the different personalities of three people in a relationship. It could also convey how the songwriter feels trapped, as they are unable to separate their own identity from their relationship.

k

Welcome to where time stands still
No one leaves and no one will
Moon is full, never seems to change
Just labeled mentally deranged
Dream the same thing every night
I see our freedom in my sight
No locked doors, no windows barred
No things to make my brain seem scarred
Sleep, my friend, and you will see
That dream is my reality
They keep me locked up in this cage
Can't they see it's why my brain says "rage"
