The song "Home" by Joe Walsh describes a person's struggle to find a sense of belonging and comfort in their life. The lyrics depict a situation where the person is faced with the decision to leave and move on, but they are hesitant to do so. The opening lines of the song describe the person fooling with their keys, indicating that they are packing up to leave. However, they express a desire to see the show, suggesting that there are still things they want to experience before leaving. The chorus of the song suggests that finding a sense of home is not easy, but if it is everywhere you look, it is possible to find it. The lyrics also make reference to a game of chess, with Bishop taking a rook, which represents the idea that sometimes you have to sacrifice something in order to move forward. The verses describe different scenarios where the person is struggling to find their place. They reference sitting at a bus stop with a ticket in hand, but feeling like they didn't get what they paid for. The lyrics also mention standing in line with the crazies, smoking and drinking, but hoping to pass a test. Overall, the song "Home" is an introspective look at the struggles of finding a sense of belonging and comfort in life.
