Finding Refuge: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in Ryan Dashiell's 'Home'
Lyrics
Drought drove us out
Drought forced us to leave our original home.
To cities so tall
We moved to towering cities, leaving behind familiar fields.
Away from the fields that we knew
Distance from the known fields.
And I lost myself
I faced personal challenges and lost my sense of identity.
Got beaten down
Faced hardships and setbacks.
Until the off chance I saw you
Encountered you unexpectedly.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Expressing emotions or intensity, possibly joy.
But when I heard you laugh
Your laughter had a significant impact on me.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Revisiting the past memories.
It took me right back
Recaptured a sense of identity from the past.
To a place where I knew who I was
A reference to a more stable and self-aware time.
When I am with you I am home
Being with you provides a sense of belonging and identity.
Missing family
Feeling the absence of family.
I'm out here alone
Experiencing loneliness away from family.
And not sure it's where I should be
Uncertainty about the current path in life.
Threw up my walls
Isolating oneself by building emotional barriers.
Buried myself
Burying personal identity in the process.
And I forgot how to be me
Forgetting how to be one's true self.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Expressing intense emotions, possibly pain.
But when you called my name
Your call brought back emotions and memories.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Affecting the speaker on a deep emotional level.
My heart raced again
The heart races, reminiscent of a familiar feeling.
Like it did when I knew who I was
Recalling a time when identity was clear.
When I am with you I am home
Being with you feels like being in a place of comfort and self-awareness.
Two lost wanderers
Both individuals are lost in unfamiliar territory.
In unknown lands
Navigating through unknown lands.
Surrounded by cold company
Being surrounded by unsupportive or distant people.
Clouds hang low there
A metaphorical reference to a gloomy atmosphere.
And try as we may
Despite efforts, neither can find a way out of the challenges.
Neither one can seem to see
A mutual inability to understand each other's struggles.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
Expressing intense emotions, possibly despair.
But when we reunite
Reuniting brings light and clarity.
Whoa-oh-oh-oh
The joy and relief of being together again.
All the sudden it's light
A metaphor for clarity and understanding.
Like the days when I knew who I was
Recalling a time of personal certainty and identity.
When I am with you I am home
Being with you brings a sense of home and self.
When I am with you I am home
Reiteration of the strong connection and feeling of home.
When I am with you I am home
Emphasizing the sense of home and identity when with the person.
