Lyrics
They say home is the place where your heart is
Home is where your heart is.
Then I am home now, though I am far away
Despite physical distance, the speaker feels at home.
For so long I've let the forest guard it
The speaker has relied on nature (the forest) to protect their home.
And now it's begging me to stay
The home (metaphorical or real) is urging the speaker to stay.
And I'm trying my best to be tough
The speaker is attempting to be resilient and strong.
To pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
Pretending to be strong and resilient.
But I'm not who I wanted to be
The speaker feels they haven't become the person they aspired to be.
In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
The speaker's heart desires a home by the sea.
They say home is a place where you're needed
Home is where one is needed.
Then I am home now, but I am leaving
Despite being needed, the speaker is leaving.
To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
Expressing a desire to connect with nature (seaweed).
And I will be silent and kiss it back
The speaker will be silent and appreciative of nature.
This is not who I want you to see
The speaker's public persona is not their true self.
It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me
Carrying burdens adding to inner darkness.
And from the little I have understood
Understanding that a house by the sea could bring positivity.
I believe that a house by the sea would do good
They say home is a place you can choose to be
Home is a choice that can be internalized.
And I've decided to carry home inside me
The speaker carries the concept of home within themselves.
So it's not really as if I am leaving
Leaving is more like being pulled by an external force.
It's more like something pulling me
Because behind everything that I do
Desire to forget and move forward.
I just want to forget, want to carry this through
Longing for the refreshing air of summer.
Fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
Mentally already present in the desired home.
In my heart, in my mind I am already there
Yeah behind everything that I do
Desire to return home, be close to a loved one.
I just want to come home and lay down beside you
Yearning for a moment of peace beside a significant other.
And then I'll be who I wanted to be
The hope to become the person the speaker aspired to be.
In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
