Written by Anastasia Krachkovsky, Preformed by Thomas Miller. It's about homesickness
Story behind the song
This song is a poem by Anastasia Krachkovsky. I liked it so I added a chorus and made it in to a song. It's a bit different from my usual stuff, I was going for a U2, DIDO feel.
Lyrics
PS some of the words in the poem had to be cut for flow purposes.
Away from dirty streets
With no trees
and hideous houses –
Stacked like unwanted boxes
That won’t let
Sunlight through
No fresh air
In the atmosphere
Away from always-busy intersections
Flooded with stinky homeless trash,
So offhand
Yet, proudly asking
Business suits for some cash.
Away from a place
Where black and white look
Dirty Grey
And constant question
“How are you?” means nothing
And I say
That “I am fine”,
When I am not
And nobody is.
All lost.
But honestly, who cares?
Pleeeeeease!
In the absence of sincere emotions
I look around just to see same plastic smiles
In bizarre distortions
Away from all,
Hop on my train of thoughts
That takes me
To my dreams
And memories I’ve almost lost
Of dear friends
I want to hug and now miss
Streets of my childhood
Seem to me now
Like pure bliss
Chorus
Take me home
Away where its beautiful
Take me home
I'm tired and alone
