Home Grown
Unraveling Domesticity: Homegrown Reflections
Lyrics
Well I don't care too much for ambiguity
Expressing a dislike for unclear situations
It doesn't sit to well with my sobriety
Not compatible with the speaker's state of sobriety
You hit me with one thing I can't stand
Refers to a dislike or frustration caused by someone
You try to make me be a family man
Someone urging the speaker to embrace family life
I say I'm never going to be a family man
Assertion of the speaker's resistance to becoming a family man
Homegrown
Reference to a type of marijuana ("Homegrown")
Your daddy's onthe phone
Someone's father is calling
Your mamma's in the kitchen and I watch the family crumbling
Observing family dysfunction, possibly due to external influences
You?
Speaker questioning or addressing someone
You know
Acknowledging awareness or understanding
You bet your life and soul
A strong affirmation, emphasizing the importance of something
I wonder round the garden and I watch the family crumbling away
Observing the deterioration of the family while wandering in the garden
Well I've been drinking all them things you poured on me
Drinking and its negative impact on the speaker
It doesn't mix to well with my debauchery
Alcohol not mixing well with the speaker's indulgent lifestyle
You tell me do some washing, comb my hair
Someone advising the speaker to do mundane tasks
But that ain't really something that I chose to care about baby
The speaker expressing disinterest in certain responsibilities
Mamma got another man
Mention of the mother having another man in her life
Homegrown
Reiteration of the reference to "Homegrown"
Your daddy's onthe phone
Someone's father is on the phone again
Your mamma's in the kitchen and I watch the family crumbling
Observing the family falling apart in the kitchen
You?
Speaker addressing or questioning someone
You know
Acknowledging understanding or agreement
You bet your life and soul
Strong affirmation of a significant commitment
I wonder round the garden and I watch the family crumbling away
Continued observation of the family's decline
There's always a place we can go
Mention of a constant refuge or escape
Aleays a place we can hide away
Reassurance of a place to hide from troubles
Cos I can't get no family satisfaction
Expressing dissatisfaction with family life
Theres a pain that I feel when we go and hide
Referring to an unspoken pain when hiding
That some could never mention
Alluding to unspeakable difficulties or challenges
Let it breather then let it rot
Suggesting letting things deteriorate before addressing them
Let it fall inside your making
Encouraging letting go of certain responsibilities
'Cause I'm breaking
Acknowledging personal breakdown or crisis
I'm homeless and shaking
Expressing homelessness and emotional instability
And I can't get no home emotion
Difficulty in finding emotional connection or satisfaction
Homegrown
Reiteration of "Homegrown" as a recurring theme
Your daddy's onthe phone
Someone's father is on the phone once more
Your mamma's in the kitchen and I watch the family crumbling
Observing the family disintegrating in the kitchen again
You?
Speaker addressing or questioning someone
You know
Acknowledging understanding or agreement
You bet your life and soul
Strong affirmation of a significant commitment
I wonder round the garden and I watch the family crumbling away
Continued observation of the family's decline
