INTRO Em VERSE Pour your words out   Come on I’m not coming back          Draw the curtains. Come on that old son is back          My hometown has cursed me lately I’m not coming back!                     Chorus ’Cause the last thing that I noticed as that old dream came around Was a city burning golden as the sun came shining down And I said they’re still in my mind And screamed "Goodbye farewell!" to my hometown I’m not coming back! BRIDGE Em Fire engines come on! There’s a race to run         So it had been. Come on there’s the starting gun         My hometown has cursed me lately I’m not coming back!                     ’Cause the last thing that I noticed as that old dream came around Was a city burning golden as the sun came shining down And I said they’re still in my mind And screamed "Goodbye farewell!" to my hometown I’m not coming back!                     I’m waking fright with the moon outside Sleep won’t come. You don’t really need it You just can’t tell. You never can son! I hope I’ll breathe. Hope so too I’m waking fright with the moon outside Sleep won’t come. You don’t really need it You just can’t tell. You never can son! I hope I’ll breathe. Hope so too. I hope I’ll breathe. I-I-I I’m not coming back! The last thing that I noticed as that old dream came around Was a city burning golden as the sun came shining down And I said they’re still in my mind And screamed "Goodbye farewell!" to my hometown I’m not coming back!                            I’m not coming back!                           I’m not coming back!

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson parle d'un individu qui décide de quitter son passé et de ne pas retourner dans sa ville natale. Il évoque des souvenirs douloureux et se sent maudit par cet endroit qui lui a apporté du chagrin. Les paroles reflètent une libération, une séparation d'avec un lieu devenu lourd de souvenirs, où il a cru voir une ville brillante, mais qui ne fait que raviver des sentiments de peine. Le contexte semble être celui d'une quête personnelle, où l'artiste utilise des images de feu et de course pour symboliser à la fois l'urgence et la nécessité de tourner la page. La mention de la lune et des réflexions nocturnes renforce ce sentiment d'introspection face à un avenir incertain, mais déterminé à ne pas reculer.
