Take Me Home
harmony.fm: Phil Collins Lyrics

Just when my life is moving slowly up a hill
Even though I am making progress in life, unexpected negative events occur and send me back down to a difficult place.

Something happens and it's back in the dungeons
This negative event causes me to feel trapped and helpless, like I am stuck in a dark and lonely place.

Is this my punishment for my past sins?
I question whether these setbacks are a result of my past mistakes and wrongdoing.

Take me away
I plead for an escape from this difficult situation and a chance to start anew.

I don't wanna stay
I express my desperation and desire to leave this place behind and move on.

It's a useless life
I feel purposeless and unhappy with my current circumstances, as if my life has no meaning or value.

Full of nothing but strife
My life is filled with constant conflict and struggle, making it hard to find any sort of happiness or success.

There is no reason why I should stay
I cannot see any positive reason to remain in this difficult situation, and I feel like I need to change my circumstances in order to find happiness.

Just when I'm floating up in the clouds
Despite the hardships, I occasionally feel like I am making progress and rising above my struggles.

My luck turns around and I'm dropped to the ground
Suddenly, my good fortune gives way to more hardship and disappointment, leaving me feeling defeated and powerless.

Life treats me no better than a hunter treats his hound
I feel like I am being hunted down and pursued by the difficulties and struggles in life, like a helpless animal.

Just when I think I've made it all the way
I feel like I have overcome all obstacles and achieved success, only to be knocked back down to reality by more hardship.

Something happens and I'm back to square one
Some negative event has occurred that has wiped out all of my progress and placed me right back where I started.

Why do I deserve this, what have I done?
I struggle to understand why I am being punished with so much hardship and difficulty, questioning whether I have done something to deserve it.

Just when I think nothing could go wrong
Sometimes, when things are going well, something unexpected happens and everything falls apart.

Just as I think I've got it all
I feel like I have achieved everything I need to be happy and successful, only to realize that there is still something missing or incomplete.

It's time for me to experience a fall
Despite my efforts to avoid hardship and struggle, I am forced to go through a difficult experience that knocks me down and makes me feel defeated.
