All the Rage Back Home Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Pikelet

I think the title, and lyric: "All the rage back home" is not intended to be interpreted as the traditional meaning of the phrase, but rather a reference to past demons. "All the rage" isn't a popular fad, it's more: "all my rage", and "Back home" is more: "in the past." Maybe he is trying to pretend that he has put all that rage behind him?

I think it ties well into the themes of the rest of the song, which deals a lot with past mistakes in relationships.

My Interpretation

@Pikelet Good interpretation. I agree.
