Lyrics
This home has never felt so unfamiliar
This residence feels strange and unfamiliar as never before.
Now that you've gone away
The feeling intensifies with your departure.
These ghosts echo in the empty space
Ghosts of memories resonate in the now empty space.
All alone, what was once a greater picture
Alone now, what used to be a significant part of life is reduced to a faded and neglected state.
Is now a vacant frame just left to wither and wane
The once meaningful picture is now an abandoned frame, decaying over time.
Feeling strained, crawling on my knees against this endless grain
Feeling overwhelmed and strained, facing difficulties against the prevailing circumstances.
And dragging feet at the expense of progress in any way
Progress is hindered, moving forward seems challenging.
And it's funny how the tables have turned and the advice that you gave me is now mine to give to you
Ironically, the roles have reversed, and advice you once received is now yours to give.
A mother's love in four simple words, forever keeping me, can now keep you too
A mother's enduring love, encapsulated in four simple words, now has the power to comfort you as well.
And even after your departure, I swear I can hear you say,""Be good, be safe.""
Even in your absence, the memory of you encourages the narrator to "be good" and "be safe."
This vulnerability has left me struggling
The emotional exposure and openness have left the narrator in a state of difficulty.
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
Struggling to keep up with the constant pace of life.
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
The house, once a home, now bears an emptiness that cannot be overlooked.
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore

This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
Repetition emphasizes the emptiness and lack of belonging.
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
Continued emphasis on the narrator's sense of alienation from the once familiar home.
Maybe they call it starting a new chapter, but I can never seem to finish the last one in time
Starting anew is challenging, and the narrator struggles to conclude the previous chapter of their life.
Now the book keeps moving forward and I am always stuck one page behind
Despite attempts, the narrator feels stuck in the past while the world moves forward.
But these words that you always told me still resonate inside this space
The advice received from the past still echoes within the narrator's current situation.
I'm trying to be good, I'm trying to be safe
The narrator strives to follow the advice given, trying to be good and safe.
This vulnerability has left me struggling
Reiteration of the struggle caused by emotional vulnerability.
Constantly moving at a pace I can't keep
The fast-paced nature of life poses a continual challenge for the narrator.
This house is not a home, an emptiness I can't ignore
The emptiness in the house remains a persistent, unavoidable reality.
This house is not a home, I don't belong here anymore
The sense of not belonging intensifies, reinforcing the narrator's disconnection.
