Homeless
Finding Home: A Journey of Identity and Belonging
Lyrics
I'm caught in a Monday
Feeling trapped or stuck in a repetitive cycle
Or is it a Sunday?
Uncertainty about the passing of time or days
Every damn day feels like the same day
Every day seems identical or monotonous
This job I've chosen
Comparing the job to a platform for showcasing life
Is like a runway
Job feels like a stage where life is presented
Where I'm displaying my life
Metaphorically displaying life on this 'runway'
But now I'm going
Expressing determination or decision to leave
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
-I'm going
-Oh, whoa, oh whoa
-Yeah, I'm going
-Oh, whoa, oh whoa
-But once I got there
Upon reaching the destination (the job), feeling displaced
I felt as if I was homeless
Emotionally feeling like one doesn't belong anywhere
Homeless
-I felt as if I was homeless
-Na na na
Non-verbal expression
Raised on Pluto, my parents from Venus
Feeling disconnected from one's origins or roots
Where am I from, sometimes I don't feel like I'm from neither
-On my own little planet
-That's where I've landed
-And I ain't searching no more
Resolved not to search for a sense of belonging anymore
I was looking for
Continued search despite earlier resolution
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
-Oh, whoa, oh whoa
-Oh, whoa, oh whoa
-But once I got there
Reiteration of feeling displaced despite efforts
I felt as if I was homeless
-Homeless
-I felt as if I was homeless
-I am thinking home
Desire to return to a place of emotional belonging
I am going home
-Where my heart has keys
-Where my soil will seed
-I am thinking home
-I am going home
-Where my heart has keys
-But once I got there
Reiteration of feeling displaced even at the supposed home
I felt as if I was homeless
-Homeless
-I felt as if I was homeless
-Homeless
Reaffirmation of the feeling of being without a home
Homeless
