Welcome Home
Uncle Ho Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So here we are now,
A sleepy place.
On sleeping pills you ride the waves.

WELCOME HOME,
RUN INTO OPEN ARMS.
SAY HI TO MOM, TURN ON THE CHARM.
Chemical refreshments,
Anything for a laugh.
So this is where the current dropped you off.

WELCOME HOME,
RUN INTO OPEN ARMS.
SAY HI TO MOM, TURN ON THE CHARM.

YOU ARE STILL IN BLOOM.

What will create coherence
Where there is none?
Will nightmares and flashbacks guide you home?

The leaves and flowers
Of your childhood sing.
It's a lovely tune, it is still within.

WELCOME HOME,
RUN INTO OPEN ARMS.
SAY HI TO MOM, TURN ON THE CHARM.





YOU ARE STILL IN BLOOM...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Welcome Home" by Uncle Ho delve into the experience of returning to a place full of memories and nostalgia, but also full of complexities and challenges. The first stanza describes the state of mind of the singer as they arrive in this "sleepy place" after using sleeping pills. The image of being adrift and numbed by medication suggests a feeling of alienation and disorientation. The chorus then comes in as a sort of mantra, repeating the phrase "Welcome Home" as if to convince the character that this place can still provide comfort and acceptance. However, the line "Turn on the charm" hints at a possible unease or strain in the reunion with family, as if the singer has to put on a facade to fit in.


The second stanza further explores the disconnections and distractions that can happen in a familiar place. "Chemical refreshments" imply the use of drugs or alcohol, possibly as a way of coping with the difficulties of facing the past. The line "So this is where the current dropped you off" suggests a sense of inevitability or fate, as if the character had little choice in returning. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the willingness to be welcomed despite the hardship. The final line "You are still in bloom" offers a glimmer of hope, as if the character can still find growth and renewal amidst the chaos.


Overall, "Welcome Home" captures the bittersweet feelings of returning to a place that used to be home, but now brings up mixed emotions. The song acknowledges that the process of coming back can be messy and complicated, but also necessary for healing and moving forward.
