A song by Skylar Grey
And the blood will dry
Underneath my nails
And the wind will rise up
To fill my sails
So you can doubt
And you can hate
But I know
No matter what it takes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain
Wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
Still far away
From where I belong
But it's always darkest
Before the dawn
So you can doubt
And you can hate
But I know
No matter what it takes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain
Wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world that I'm coming home
Let the rain
Wash away
All the pain of yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits
And they've forgiven my mistakes
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
Tell the world I'm coming home
This song is about someone who has been away from many loved ones for a very long time. It could be about a soldier returning home after war or a fair maiden . It sounds like she hopes all of the hurt and pain from the past will go away. She knows that her kingdom is there for her "somewhere". It sounds like she is returning to a familiar and beautiful place she thinks of as "home". She has made some mistakes, but she knows that we all do.. We are all "human" to some finite degree. I think she lost the light - the love - of her life for a few years. Maybe she went to jail. This song is about surrounding herself with many loved ones/old friends. It is about celebrating a new beginning.
