'Coming Home' is a metaphor for all kinds of situations, as well as, literally, a return to the house, town or country of one's birth or upbringing.
|
We leave the home of our upbringing, sooner or later, for all kinds of reasons.

They say one can never really go home again - that to go home is to find that all has changed, that everything has become very different from how you remember it.
