London
Embracing London's Heartfelt Tale
Lyrics
They say that home is where you make it
Home is defined by personal choices and experiences.
And I think I would agree
The speaker agrees that home is subjective and individual.
Where you can spill drinks on the carpet
Home is where casual and familiar activities happen, even messy ones.
And yell at the TV
Home is a place where emotions can be expressed, even towards inanimate objects like the TV.
But sometimes home is somewhere different
Home may not always align with one's desires.
Than where you're wanting it to be
Contrast between the expected and actual location of home.
Sometimes its an anchor
Home can be a burden, holding the speaker back.
And it's pulling back on me
The struggle of being anchored by the concept of home.
To feel the ocean wind blowing
The speaker desires the refreshing feeling of the ocean wind.
From the harbor to my face
Imagery of the harbor and sensory experiences.
Get a milkshake from Sweet Mother's
A reference to a specific place, Sweet Mother's, associated with happiness.
Or another happy place
Seeking solace in familiar and joyful places.
Maybe I'm looking for the answer
Contemplating life's questions.
Maybe I already know
Suggesting self-awareness or uncertainty about finding answers.
Maybe I'm just running
The speaker acknowledges running away but feels compelled to continue.
But I still have to go
The persistence of the speaker to move forward despite challenges.
Oh, I still have to go
Reiteration of the determination to keep moving forward.
But I'm lucky to have friends
Expressing gratitude for having friends in diverse locations.
In so many different places
Reflecting on the richness of experiences from various places.
I'm lucky to have seen
Gratitude for the opportunity to witness a variety of things.
All that I have seen
The heart metaphorically affected by the challenges presented by seas.
And I'm lucky for my heart
Feeling fortunate despite the hardships experienced.
To be torn apart by seas
Repeated affirmation of feeling lucky to call London home.
And I'm lucky to have called London home
-I'm lucky to have called London home
-I'm lucky to have called London home
-I watch the lights along the river
Observing the lights along the river during a nightly walk.
When I'm walking home at night
These lights have a comforting and soothing effect on the speaker.
No matter what I'm feeling
Regardless of emotions, the lights make everything feel alright.
It makes it alright
The speaker strives to fulfill their purpose in life.
I'm trying hard to deliver
Recognition of the internal struggle of balancing maturity and childlike qualities.
What I was put here to do
The speaker acknowledges moments of confusion and being lost.
But sometimes I'm a child
Shared sense of being lost with others.
And I'm lost just like you
Reiteration of the shared experience of feeling lost.
Oh, I'm lost just like you
Emphasizing the commonality of the human experience.
But I'm lucky to have friends
Repeating the expressions of gratitude for friends, diverse experiences, and resilience in facing challenges.
In so many different places
-I'm lucky to have seen
-All that I have seen
-And I'm lucky for my heart
-To be torn apart by seas
-And I'm lucky to have called London home
-I'm lucky to have called London home
-I'm lucky to have called London home
-But I'm lucky to have friends
-In so many different places
-I'm lucky to have seen
-All that I have seen
-And I'm lucky for my heart
-To be torn apart by seas
-And I'm lucky to have called London home
-I'm lucky to have called London home
-I'm lucky to have called London home
Final affirmation of feeling fortunate to call London home.
