I'm Coming Home
The Primals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

we are one insipid son it would be nothing without you
and i get nervous when you walk and i would love to hear you talk
but i only listen to what isn't true now it's now or never come on and 
give up the dormant part be a delegate with something to say 
now i get nervous when you walk and like a serpent with it's stalk
it would be nothing without you
salvaged, seeking the source
failure, call on the hordes
violence, fall on the end of the sword
so solitary to cold to carry on




i love you all, i wish you all the best in this life
i'll see you all in hell

There is a sense of urgency and immediacy in the lyrics, with references to salvaging and seeking the source, as well as fall on the end of the sword, suggesting that there are high stakes involved.
