Lyrics

What if your heart

Contemplating the possibility that one's heart is the only true place of belonging.

Is your only home

Suggesting that the heart is the core or essence of one's identity and residence.

You can go around

Considering the option of exploring different paths in life.

Maybe you won't go around

Questioning the likelihood of choosing alternative routes in life.


And if your heart

Reiterating the idea that the heart is the primary dwelling place.

Is your only home

Emphasizing the centrality of the heart as a home.

You can go around

Repeating the consideration of exploring different paths.

Maybe you won't go around

Expressing uncertainty about the decision to explore alternative paths.


I watch you walk

Observing someone walking and turning inward, becoming introspective.

And you turn into yourself

Describing the act of turning inward and becoming self-absorbed.

And extend into shadows

Expanding into the shadows metaphorically, perhaps representing challenges or uncertainties.

Like the days

Comparing the extension into shadows to the passing of days.


Hey, hey, hey alibi

Let me shout out your name

Hey alibi

To explore exactly why

We throw our lives away

Don't wonder why I came

Asserting a persistent presence despite uncertainties.

I still remain

Reaffirming that the speaker remains despite challenges.

And you wear your badge of pride

Commenting on wearing a badge of pride alongside shame, highlighting inner conflicts.

With shame

Emphasizing the coexistence of pride and shame.

And I still remain

Repeating the idea of persistence in the face of challenges.


Hey, hey, hey alibi
