Take Me Home Lyrics

Cover art for Take Me Home lyrics by Phil Collins

My friend told me that I should see Phill Collins farewell tour "Finally". So I did. It was fantastic!!! I knew Phil's music, but I was not "a fan". I have read Dr. Michael Newton's book "Journey of Souls". When I was watching the farewell tour's last song "Take Me Home" something struck me! I felt that the lyrics are about feelings we feel while living on Earth in human bodies, and feeling that our real home is somewhere "up" there. That our souls will return to the "real" home after death. When Phil was thanking all the musicians and told that they "gotta go home", they left the stage one by one. It was so simbolical for me. It was like people were leaving (dying) this life on Earth to be reunited once again in another world. I felt that sooner or later we all will meet again. You know, how close we feel during concerts. Just look around while being in the crowd. Phil and his team made us ONE again here on Earth! He TOOK US HOME! :)

My Interpretation

Gehenna (which has been transliterated and/or translated into our word "hell") was an actual place in Israel where the poorest dirtiest people lived. Sewage emptied into that area, and the homeless, unbalanced and criminals congregated there. "Much weeping and gnashing of teeth" to put it one way. Difficult to rise above, but not inescapable.

Life is one thing and death is only a...

@erglis19 I'm loving your interpretation! I hope you will like mine because it's very very related but more precise. ;)
