ok, i could be completely wrong about this, but i always thot that this song was about, like, a really big disaster, either a war, or a famine ("as the valley explodes" "the land grows weary of its own") and then the refugees having to leave their home ("And you know it's time to go/ Through the sleet and driving snow/ Across the fields of mourning/ Lights in the distance" "oh come away") and then, their homecoming ("Oh, don't sorrow, no don't weep/ For tonight, at last/ I am coming home/ I am coming home"). but their home really isn't the same anymore, so it's only a "sort of homecoming".
also, Unforgettable Fire has one of the coolest album covers EVER. wat is that a picture of????
