Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm coming home
Tonight ahead of time
My shoulders pressed against the seat
To feel the purring of the ground
It's pretty when the sun lies around
Old day, tell me why you'd want to turn the lights off
Again, old day, tell me why you'd want to turn the lights off
I'm coming, coming, coming home

Coming, coming, coming home
Coming home
I'm coming, coming, coming home
Coming, coming, coming home
Coming home
Whey along the finger
Tiptoeing in aspirin
Where was I to go
Swaying through the morning
In a wool of gnats
Faces indistinctive
In an early zephyr
What was i foreseeing
Swaying through the
Morning
Morning

Morning
Old day, tell me why you'd want to turn the lights off
Again, old day, tell me why you'd want to turn the lights off
Coming, coming, coming home
Coming, coming, coming home
Coming home
Coming, coming, coming home
Coming, coming, coming home
Coming home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Morning" by Mottron paint a vivid picture of coming home early in the morning after a long night. It seems as though the singer is relieved to finally be returning home and settling down for the day. As they drive, they describe the feeling of the road beneath them as "the purring of the ground". There's a moment of reflection as the singer questions why the day has to end, and why the lights have to go off. They seem to be searching for something, or maybe just questioning the nature of life itself.

The second half of the song takes a more abstract turn. There are references to fingers, aspirin, and gnats, but it's unclear exactly how they fit into the larger narrative. It could be interpreted as the singer's mind wandering as they try to make sense of the world around them. Despite the confusion and uncertainty, the final refrain of "coming home" brings the song full circle. It's clear that this is the anchor that keeps the singer grounded.

Overall, "Morning" is a song about finding peace in the chaos of daily life. It's a reminder that even when things feel uncertain, there's always the comfort of coming home.
