Embracing Life's Trials: Dominique Fricot's 'Home'
Lyrics
We like to think we’re victims of someone else’s whim
We tend to believe we are at the mercy of someone else's decisions or fate.
The cards are stacked against us when our chips are all in
When faced with challenges, it feels like the odds are against us, especially when we've invested everything.
We can make of life what we want
We have the ability to shape our own lives according to our desires.
The power’s in our hands
The power to control our lives lies within our own hands.
But it’s hard, oh lord
Despite this knowledge, it is still difficult.
You’re suffering, suffering
Expressing the theme of suffering, indicating a state of hardship or distress.
Your life is waiting while you’re suffering, suffering oh
Despite the suffering, life is passing by while one is in that state.
You used to be my confidant, my lover, and best friend
Describing a past relationship that included trust, love, and deep connection.
When an angry conversation left us for dead
An argument led to the apparent end of the relationship.
You can make of all this what you want
Interpreting events and circumstances is subjective and open to personal perspective.
I’ll gladly take the blame
Willing to take responsibility and blame for the relationship's challenges.
Because I know, oh lord
Despite challenges, there is a recognition or understanding.
You’re suffering, suffering
Reiteration of the theme of suffering, emphasizing its persistent nature.
Your life is waiting
Life continues while one is experiencing suffering.
While you’re suffering, suffering
Your life is waiting
Repetition of the idea that life is waiting, contrasting with the ongoing suffering.
Your eyes are filled with blindness
Describing a state of emotional or spiritual blindness through the metaphor of eyes.
I stand witness
Asserting the speaker's role as a witness to the suffering described.
To your suffering, suffering suffering
Emphasizing the enduring nature of suffering.
I’m coming home before I lose my way
Expressing a desire to return home before losing direction or purpose.
I’m coming home
Reiterating the decision to come back home.
You’re suffering, suffering
Reiteration of the theme of suffering, suggesting its continuation.
Your life is waiting
Life is moving forward while one is still in a state of suffering.
While you’re suffering, suffering
Your life is waiting
Repetition of the idea that life is waiting, contrasting with ongoing suffering.
Your eyes are filled with blindness
Describing a state of emotional or spiritual blindness through the metaphor of eyes.
I stand witness
Asserting the speaker's role as a witness to the suffering described.
To your suffering, suffering suffering
Emphasizing the enduring nature of suffering.
