Homesick
Homesick Echoes: A Soul's Journey to Belonging
Lyrics
Mama, I tried to make it
Expressing effort in achieving something
Tried to find my big break in the big city
Attempting to find success in a bustling city
Mama, I tried to fake it
Trying to pretend or deceive
How do you take it when they're all looking at you
Dealing with judgment from others
So I'm here crying into the phone
Feeling emotional and reaching out for comfort
Telling you I wanna come back home
Expressing a desire to return home
I don't wanna be alone anymore
Desire to avoid loneliness
Yeah I'm here calling it a little too hard
Expressing strong emotions in reaching out
Say you pushed me a little too far
Feeling pushed to the limit
This time
Suggesting a pivotal moment
Ooh, try and stop me
Defiance against obstacles
Go ahead and watch me
Inviting scrutiny while dealing with consequences
Fuck it up again
Admitting repeated mistakes or failures
Ooh, I tried so hard to make a new start
Striving earnestly to start afresh
But you know that I can't
Recognition of inability to pretend
Pretend
Expressing disillusionment
When there's no
Anticipating an absence of a positive conclusion
Happy end
Acknowledging the absence of a happy outcome
Mama, I'm feeling lonely
Feeling isolated and seeking understanding
Like you're the only one who knows who I am
Perceiving a sense of being understood by someone
Mama, I feel so far away
Feeling disconnected from familiarity
Like there will never be a day where this feels like home
Expressing a lack of belonging
So I'm here trying to talk myself down
Trying to self-soothe and find resolution
Telling myself I'll come around
Encouraging oneself to adapt to the situation
If I just stick this out
Attempting to endure despite difficulties
Yeah I'm here taking it as it comes
Accepting circumstances as they unfold
Try to stop my feet from running away
Struggling to resist fleeing from challenges
Ooh, try and stop me
Repeating determination despite obstacles
Go ahead and watch me
Inviting observation while making mistakes again
Fuck it up again
Acknowledging repeated failures or missteps
Ooh, I tried so hard to make a new start
Striving persistently for a fresh beginning
But you know that I can't
Acknowledgment of inability to create a new start
Pretend
Recognizing the inability to pretend
Ooh, try and stop me
Reiterating determination despite challenges
Go ahead and watch me
Welcoming observation while facing failure
Fuck it up again
Accepting repeated failure in trying to start anew
Ooh, I tried so hard to make a new start
Continued effort to create a fresh beginning
But you know that I can't
Acknowledgment of inability to create a new start
Pretend
Recognizing the inability to pretend
When there's no
Reiterating the absence of a happy outcome
Happy end
Acknowledging the absence of a happy conclusion
When there's no
Repeating the absence of a happy outcome
Happy end
Reiterating the absence of a happy conclusion
