Hey hey! just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget when to move when my mouth is this
Dry and my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh it was sweet it was wild and oh how we
I trembled stuck in honey
Honey cling to me so just one more just one more
Go inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
Oh just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
So just one more just one more go inspire in me
The desire in me to never go home
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget when to move when my mouth is this
Dry and my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh it was sweet it was wild and oh how we
I trembled stuck in honey
Honey cling to me so just one more just one more
Go inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
Oh just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
So just one more just one more go inspire in me
The desire in me to never go home

Listen to the piano
Listen to the guitar.
Listen to the drums.
The cello.
the other guitar.
The base.
Then the synthesizer.
The stress of the piano in the end and how it s drown out by do do do dododo.
This song is about satisfaction.
and dissatisfaction.
Selfishness and
Selflessness.
Listening to the purity of right and Wiley of wrong and then drowning the right with enough of the wrong.
There is great conflict in this song.
There is agreement in the beginning, between the piano and guitar. The piano leads and the guitar and the guitar is mirroring the piano in agreement. Then conflict arises, with the introduction of the drums. Then the guitar descends to a different octave... Then it reaches to a higher octave. The piano becomes more adamant yet not insistent. If I were to put labels on the instruments I would say that the piano is the wife. The guitar is the man. The cello is the mother of the wife. or possibly the conscience. The drum is the will of the man. All the other instruments are pawns that draw the man out to his XXXX what ever. Eventually the piano and cello are drowned out.
Do we need words?
The song is told before the lyrics even starts.
Listen to the regret and vulnerability in the last words he sings.
To never to home. then the feeble attempt to be flippant afterwards da da dodod.
The song strips back down in the end.
Everything fades back down to the man his will and his wife.
this says...I have to go home. I have to face what I have done.
This song is complex and gives intimate understanding about the addiction cycle. I think RS grew up in it. His music is retaliatory. This music is retrospective and intelligent.

"About the attraction of forbidden fruits." (Oor Magazine -1989)
With the perspective Robert shed on the track, thematically I think it really syncs up with Disintegration and same Deep Water before it. All 3 songs express this fear of commitment as the central idea, with Disintegration and Homesick watching everything slip away (or throwing it away because of that fear in the case of the track 'Disintegration') because self-control is so secondary to desire.
He's says he's homesick, but continues to give in to all these fleeting, impermanent things. Confronted by the idea of 'home' (which could even be a metaphor for commitment), somewhere stable, a place to plant your roots, he stays away. Lyrically he says he'll walk away from it all, but romanticizes the situation itself (bursting hearts... sweet, wild... trembled... stuck in honey, cling to me...) to the point where obviously he's not ready or wanting to. Like any addict, alcohol, serial cheater, whatever... you always give yourself that one out before you confront the issue, so you actually never have to. Like, I'll stop after this or, I'll walk away after this. Every time. Notice how he repeats "Just one more and I'll walk away" again at the end of the song. He's using the same excuse, repeating the same patterns and keeping himself in this longing kind of self-bondage.
You can really get down to some Freudian psycho-analyzing bullshit if you keep going from here, about how he was so young when the band broke... and now he's turning 30 and being confronted by the idea of age.. he's at this huge impasse and is unable to make the transition to the person he feels he should be at that age with responsibility and whatever. Hell, it's probably even why he looks so goddamn awful these days at 50, refusing to let go of his youth.
Anyway, that's my interpretation!
Why should there be one meaning? Maybe it's just a pulse to create the story yourself. And maybe there's something about drugs or sex, but hey, THERE IS MORE THAN DRUGS AND SEX! I don't want to affend someone specific, just to express my frustration about people who find in any song a link to (one of) these subjects. Imagine, only love, sex and drugs as possible themes in music... It would be a sad, sad planet.
Yet there's still the urge to leave, to "walk away", due to the commitments he's got for his current partner. However, he doesn't want to leave, so he asks for his love to "inspire the desire to never go home."
I hadn't listened to this song in a long long time and all of a sudden it pretty much sums up my current life situation, or at least describes a single moment in detail. Somewhat scary. Oh how I love this song.
I think it's about drugs, sex and addiction
so true!
I agree with a lot of what's been said above, especially the aimless searching aspect of the music.
When you want to quit, but you just keep going.
"Hey hey!
Just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win
Turns to nothing today"
thats like i know this weed is making me lazy so i will stop tomorow.
"And I forget how to move
When my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts
In a blood-stained sky "
This describes how you feel when your high your mouth gets really dry and your eyes get all red.
"Stuck in honey
Honey
Cling to me...
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me
To never go home"
Talking about breathing the smoke in deeper and deeper until your so high you dont ever want to go back to your house
