Transit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It always fades away with time.
(The color fades away)
It's this feeling that has me going nowhere, gaining nothing at all.
If anyone should find you staring up at the unending sky.
What if I was smiling and running into your arms.
(What would you say.)
Would you see then what I see now.
I'd put my ear against your heart to keep the beat forever
(Keep running) and hum it like my favorite song.
It's safe to say life seems hopeless. (We are all alone)
It's this feeling that brings me closer and closer to the end.
(Keep running, keep running, keep running, keep shining .. this home becomes your casket
And you're buried six feet beneath the ground.
Those starry eyes have lost their shine.
There's reason why I've made it this far without you.
You had your shot this ones mine I'm taking aim to pull the trigger
In Transit's song Stay Home, the lyrics depict a sense of restlessness and hopelessness experienced by the singer. The song speaks of the fleeting nature of life and the feeling of not gaining anything from it. The line, "So many days and nights of my life escape, it always fades away with time" highlights the transient nature of existence. The singer's feeling of being stuck and "going nowhere" is a recurring theme throughout the song. The lyrics portray a moment of longing for connection as the singer laments, "If anyone should find you staring up at the unending sky, What if I was smiling and running into your arms. Would you see then what I see now?" Through this, the singer expresses their longing for a romantic relationship that is grounded in mutual understanding and joy. The song ends on a bitter note with the line, "Those starry eyes have lost their shine. There's a reason why I've made it this far without you. You had your shot, this one's mine."

Keep running, keep running, keep running, keep shining .. this home becomes your casket And you're buried six feet beneath the ground.
Even though life seems endless and pointless, it's essential to keep pushing through since there awaits a permanent end, where we become lifeless and part of the earth
Those starry eyes have lost their shine.
Those once lively and twinkling eyes have lost their luster and glow
There's reason why I've made it this far without you.
There's a motive behind why I've come this far without your presence or assistance
You had your shot this one's mine I'm taking aim to pull the trigger
You had your opportunity, and now it's my turn to take charge and make my move
