Lyrics
When tides are pulling
Reference to challenging times, metaphorically represented by tides pulling.
And familiar things are strange
Feeling disoriented when familiar things become unfamiliar or strange.
And what was clear seems to break
Clarity breaking down or disappearing.
Or start to melt away
Things starting to dissolve or fade away.
And you hold on for dear life
Fighting to survive or endure during challenging times.
To roads that once were free
Clutching onto paths or ways of life that were once free but now feel burdensome.
But now are cluttered and exhausted
Feeling overwhelmed and tired due to the demands of life.
There is a home I belong to and it meets us
A reference to a comforting and belonging place.
Close as our heart beat
The sense of belonging is as close as one's heartbeat.
And no matter how hard I fight
Struggling to maintain emotional defenses or barriers.
To keep my armor on no matter how much I try
Efforts to keep protective measures in place despite challenges.
To avoid the truth that I am of this home
Avoiding the truth of one's connection to the comforting home.
And so are you we are not apart
Emphasizing unity and shared connection with others.
Step by step we are getting closer
Gradual progress toward the comforting place or state.
When tides are pulling to a beautiful place
Positive portrayal of challenging times leading to a beautiful destination.
And you stand in awe as it calls your name
Being awestruck by the allure of the comforting place calling.
When your heart starts to race
Feeling a surge of emotion or excitement.
And you pull away don't wanna make mistakes
Pulling back or hesitating to avoid making mistakes.
And swim out through the break
Swimming through challenges or obstacles.
There is a home I belong to and it meets us
Reiteration of the sense of belonging to a comforting home.
Close as our heart beat
Connection to the comforting place is as close as a heartbeat.
And no matter how hard I fight
Continued struggle to maintain emotional defenses despite challenges.
To keep my armor on no matter how much I try
Persisting efforts to keep protective measures in place.
To avoid the truth that I am of this home
Avoidance of acknowledging the truth about one's connection to the home.
And so are you we are not apart
Emphasizing unity and shared connection with others.
Step by step we are getting closer
Incremental progress toward the comforting place or state.
