The Corner Lyrics

It sheltered from nothing but the weather
I called it home for a moment of my life
This place I see just doesn’t look familiar
I wonder if it looks the same inside

So there’s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked on in the rain
And there’s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

Years go by and nothing’s getting clearer
Can’t change my mind my troubles are the same
Faces change but names they are familiar
And streets I see will stand the test of time

So there’s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked on in the rain
And there’s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

The star still shines
(The star still shines)
Shines down through the rain
(Down through the rain)

And there’s the corner that I sat on
(Sat on)
The road I walked on in the rain
(Walked on in the rain)
And there’s the star I used
(The star I used to wish on)
It all just seems like yesterday
(Seems like yesterday)

And I stare at this dirty window
(This dirty window)
And this world goes slowly by
(Slowly bye)
And somewhere out there is the future
(There’s the future)
That I once thought had passed me by
(Thought had passed me by)

It sheltered me from nothing but the weather

Cover art for The Corner lyrics by Staind

He is singing about his childhood troubled life. He is back at his old house...maybe just taking a drive through the neighborhood where he used to live....tha's where he grew up...that's his childhood...all his memories...and pain...that he left behind but will never forget because it has helped shape him to be the person he is today. No one forgets and everyone thinks of their past...some people like to be reminded of how they felt that long ago. He's experienced a lot at the corner. That's where he would sit to think about how he wants his future to be. He'd look up at the sky and watch the stars. His troubles are still the same after all these years!!! All his worries...everything he thought is still all the same. Hasn't changed. When we think about our past experiences....it seems like yesterday...like it's a fresh memory we just made but it happened years ago. Your home shelters you from the weather. It doesn't tell you who to be or how to become the person you want to be. it doesn't teach you life lessons.... only when you put yourself out there you learn it yourself. So after he sat on the corner he would come home to know that everything is okay.

I think it's about looking back on a place you used to be in your life. Times when you are thankful for getting out of the situation.

I also agree, this album is amazing.
