Where I'm From
Homebound Echoes: Embracing Brokenness and Sacred Songs
Lyrics
Where I'm from
Introducing the theme of the song, expressing a connection to a specific place or origin.
Illuminated lanterns glow and never flicker when storm winds blow
Symbolizing resilience and stability, where external challenges don't affect the core values.
The scent of cedar
Evoking a specific scent, possibly associated with memories and a sense of familiarity.
The taste of citrus on my tongue
Describing a distinctive taste that adds to the sensory experiences associated with home.
The sound of silence all feel like home
Highlighting the comfort found in silence, suggesting a peaceful and familiar environment.
I can see it in the eyes of my son and the eyes of my daughter
Noting the recognition of home in the eyes of the speaker's children.
Where I'm from
Reiterating the idea of home and its significance.
Where I'm from
-The lost and broken sing along in every language a sacred song
Acknowledging a universal connection through shared struggles and sacred songs.
I can hear it in the voice of a mother and the cries of a child
Hearing the echoes of pain and vulnerability in the voices of a mother and a child.
Where I'm from
Emphasizing the origin and the sense of belonging to a particular place.
Where I'm from
-Where I'm from
-Here I labor on in the holy war
Describing a personal journey in a metaphorical "holy war," seeking companionship in the struggle.
Find myself on the threshing floor
-Praying somebody will stay with me
-While I remain in between
-Looking for light and the breaking of day
-Somebody stay with me
-Where I'm from
Reaffirming the connection to the speaker's place of origin.
I've stood outside these gates before trying to listen and hear her voice
Recalling moments of attempting to understand and connect with the place.
I can feel it in the middle of the rain in the warmth of a fire
Sensing emotional warmth in adverse situations, finding comfort in elemental experiences.
I can feel it when my heart starts to break
Recognizing a visceral reaction when facing emotional challenges, like heartbreak.
I was born to desire
Expressing a fundamental human inclination towards longing and aspiration.
Where I'm from
Reiterating the central theme of the song, emphasizing the importance of the speaker's origin.
Where I'm from
-Where I'm from
-Where I'm from
Finalizing the declaration of the speaker's roots and origin.
