Willy Clay Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Locked the door and killed the phone, i'll catch a train to get me home
My head's a mess and i can't think straight
It's getting worse, it's getting late
Tell my friends the bird has flown, leave a note on your door
I've had enough, i'm going home
I'm going home, i'm going home
I've had enough, i'm going home
Quit my job so i couldn't stay babe, left it all and walked away
'Cause you know i couldn't stand the pain, got hometown blood in my veins
My head's a mess and i can't think straight
It's getting worse, it's getting late
Tell my friends the bird has flown, leave a note on your door
I've had enough, i'm going home
I'm going home, i'm going home
I'm going home, i'm going home
I've had enough, i'm going home
I'm going home, i'm going home
I'm going home, i'm going home
I'm going home, i'm going home
I've had enough, i'm going home

He's decided to lock the door and kill the phone, indicating his need for solitude to think and to plan his journey home. His head is a mess, and he can't think straight, showing his emotional distress from being away from home for too long.
The second verse continues to express the singer's desire to go home. He quit his job and left everything behind because he couldn't stand the pain of being away any longer. He believes that he has hometown blood in his veins, which is another way of saying that he feels a deep connection to his home and its people.
The chorus repeats the simple but powerful phrase "I'm going home" three times, emphasizing the strong desire the singer has to return to where he feels he belongs. The repetition of this phrase throughout the song reinforces the belief that home is where the heart is.
In summary, the lyrics of "Homesick" convey a sense of nostalgia, longing, and a strong emotional connection to one's home. The desire to return home can be a powerful force in a person's life, as this song demonstrates.
