Home Is Where You Hang Yourself
Finding Redemption Amidst Self-Struggle
Lyrics
I don't like the way that I've been
I am dissatisfied with my current state or behavior.
So unfeeling and full of sin
I feel emotionally numb and burdened by wrongdoing.
Trying hard but you can hardly tell
Despite efforts, it's challenging for others to perceive positive changes.
Home is where you hang yourself.
Home is depicted as a place where self-destructive thoughts or actions occur.
Four months and seven days
Specific time duration indicating a significant period of observation or reflection.
You're still here and I'm amazed
Surprise that someone is still present, possibly despite difficulties.
I'm not a victim but I victimize
Denial of being a victim while acknowledging the act of victimizing others.
Tell me you love me but there's hate in your eyes
A plea for love contradicted by the presence of hatred in the other person's eyes.
I'll be good
A commitment to be good or morally upright.
And I'll be fair
Commitment to fairness and just treatment.
Just give me a chance
Request for an opportunity to prove oneself.
Let me know you care
Desire for assurance of care from the other person.
Let me know you care
(Repetition for emphasis)
I take it back
Retraction of a statement or action, expressing regret.
And make amends
Intent to correct mistakes and reconcile.
We used to be
Reflection on a past close relationship that has deteriorated.
The best of friends
Recognition of the past connection as the best of friendships.
The best of friends
(Reiteration of the positive past connection)
