Long Way from Home
TheHeavy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got the blues well it seems so far
Temptation all around the air that I breath
But you ain't got to worry 'cause you tamed the beast
And in the summer time
That we lost
Out of time and
At a cost
I'll never be a prophet in my own land
When I'm a long way from home
With so much pressure on my bones
I'm such a long way from home
But I'll be back soon
Tongue tied on the telephone line
You got the words to help me ease up my mind
No one love me like the way that you love me so
I got to tell you from the tip of my tongue
'Cause I know where I'll find you
I know just where you lie
Always deep in my heart
You're by my side
I know it's hard
When I'm a long way from home
With so much pressure on my bones
I'm such a long way from home
But I'll be back soon (yeah)
(I'm coming home)
I know where I'll find you
I know just where you lie
Always deep in my heart
You're by my side
It's so hard
When I'm a long way from home
It's so much pressure on my bones
I'm such a long way from home
But I'll be back soon
I'm gonna be back soon
Oh, I'm gonna be back soon
Daddy gonna be back soon, yeah
The lyrics of TheHeavy's song "Long Way From Home" showcase the artist's feelings of loneliness and yearning. The singer seems to be struggling with the trappings of fame, feeling pressure on their bones and surrounded by temptation. However, they find solace in someone who loves them deeply, perhaps a romantic partner, who is able to ease their mind and make them feel at home. The singer yearns to return to this person, and though they are far away, they know exactly where to find them: deep in their heart.
The opening lyrics compare the singer's powerful emotions to the power that the Pope must feel, attempting to connect the deep emotions they are experiencing with a powerful religious figure. The following lines describe the singer's struggle with the "blues", feeling as though they are not quite themselves. As the song progresses, the chorus emphasizes the distance between the singer and their loved ones, and the pressure they feel as a result. However, the song ultimately ends on a hopeful note, with the singer promising to return and be reunited with the person they love.
