Coming Home
Yendri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shifting deep into the distance
Leaving all the ground behind
Looking out of the window
Outside the time is standing still

I'm coming home, again
I'm coming home
The engine's singing all along
It seems to be still moving on
Consuming mile after mile
Never resting for a while

I'm coming home, again
I'm coming home

It's getting darker outside
Inside we just don't care
We're almost there
We're almost there





I'm coming home, again
I'm coming home...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Yendri's song Coming Home describe the feeling of returning home after a long journey away. The singer describes the experience of moving farther and farther from their starting point, leaving everything behind, and watching time come to a standstill outside the window. However, they are able to find comfort in the fact that they are finally headed back to the place where they belong.


The engine of whatever mode of transportation they're using becomes a crucial metaphor in the song. It is characterized as "singing," implying that it has a certain spirit or energy of its own. Even though it's continuously propelling them forward, it almost seems to have a mind of its own, never resting even for a moment. This creates a sense of unstoppable momentum that will eventually, inevitably bring the singer back to where they are meant to be.


Throughout the song, the lyrics shift between a focus on the outer world and its changes (such as the darkness outside) and the inner world of the characters on the journey ("Inside we just don't care"). As they near home, those outside changes become less relevant and the focus intensifies on the feeling of finally arriving. It creates a sense of anticipation and excitement for the listener, rooting them on in their own journey home.
