ChorusĪs for the chorus itself, the singer is thanking the addressee for ‘showing him home’, thus the title of the song. Now given the overall allegorical nature of the lyrics, this thesis phrase can be interpreted in a number of ways. The singer is now apparently seeking help getting over this condition from a higher power. Yet he expresses something like a sense of disbelief, as in he knows that he will ultimately go back to his old, destructive ways. Or another way of looking at it is that fate has already written his story, which is probably the ultimate sign of addiction, as in when the individual affected no longer believes he can ever beat the urge. However, fourth verse takes on a different tone. Moreover the third verse follows a similar tune but relies on similes so elaborate that they may very well point to some truly-private experiences in the singer’s life.
The first three verses detail the depression the singer is going through – albeit through the utilization of heavy-handed metaphors. For instance, in the first verse alone, the narrator depicts himself as being lost, lonely and repressed. And in the second verse he alludes to being in “the emptiest state”, “a cage” and bearing a burden likened to “the heaviest cross ever made”.
