What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I'm not happy with myself these days
2
I took the best parts of this script
3
and I made them all clichés
4
and this red bandanna surely going to fade
5
even though it's the only thing the fire didn't take
6
everybody says you'll grow a lot
7
from this experience
8
maybe become zen after a while
9
become a president
10
lessons get disguised sometimes
11
but all I know
12
is I finally know the difference between
13
going back and going home
14
there's a lady on my block
15
that has a kid
16
and as he swims in the above ground pool
17
she seals up the lid
18
and he thinks it's kind of normal
19
that she hides
20
up the cuts and all the bruises
21
she says it's war paint for the eyes
22
she tells her son she did the best she could
23
as she buries dad
24
maybe he'll grow up to be a man
25
or like his father did
26
as they leave the driveway for the Northern snow
27
they finally know the difference between
28
going back and going home
29
cut to a life
30
being born in '69
31
middle class suburbs
32
everything's fine
33
fondue parties
34
my mom and my dad's
35
drinks being drunk
36
and fights being had
37
I lost my virginity
38
to a girl in my band
39
she was four years older
40
she made me a man
41
so addicted to sex
42
every chance that I got
43
with whoever I wanted
44
until I got caught
45
so I took my penicillin
46
and I took my band
47
to a town made of glitter girls
48
and cocaine friends
49
got hammered for dream
50
by the age of eighteen
51
saw more than most people
52
that I know had ever seen
53
played every bar
54
drank until black and blue
55
did the morning show bullshit
56
and went to China too
57
where they left us to die
58
without a ticket to flee
59
inciting a riot
60
we were only twenty-three
61
packed it up
62
started over
63
just as fast as we can
64
selling tapes, making merch
65
in the back of the van
66
living hand to mouth
67
for the next five years
68
took up drinking wine
69
gave up drinking beers
70
signed another big deal
71
with a devil in a dress
72
a one hit wonder, i think,
73
described it best
74
decided to burn out
75
then to fade away
76
went back to the van
77
the very next day
78
built it up
79
made a living
80
without any help
81
made amazing friends
82
if I say so myself
83
if living like this at thirty-eight is a bore
84
then come on, God, please, give me thirty-eight more
85
and everybody knows I've seen a lot
86
yeah, I'm experienced
87
makes you feel so old after a while
88
just like our president
89
every time I come back in this town, I know
90
I finally know the difference between
91
going back and going home
92
yeah
93
back and going home
94
I do
