Lyrics
The closer I am to home
The speaker feels a desire to move away when they are physically close to their home.
The further I want to go
There's an urge to go further away from home despite proximity, indicating a longing for exploration or escape.
When I'm swallowed by this room
Feeling confined within a room, disconnected from the external world.
I feel foreign to the world
The sense of not belonging or feeling out of place in the larger world.
Souvenirs collecting dust
Mementos or memories are neglected and forgotten.
As they stare in empty faces
These mementos witness empty, expressionless faces, suggesting a lack of emotional connection.
A bitter thought of a better day
Remembering a better past, which now feels bitter because it's unreachable.
Is a nostalgic gift that I can't keep
Nostalgia for better times, but unable to retain or hold onto them.
The morning breeze kisses my skin
A gentle touch of nature reminding the speaker of missed opportunities.
Gentle reminder of where I could've been
Reflecting on the possibilities of where the speaker could have been.
Caught in the routine day in day out
Stuck in a monotonous routine without change.
I hear my name as the distance calls
Hearing a call or feeling a pull towards something distant, possibly a metaphor for unfulfilled aspirations.
The closer I am to home
Reiteration of the desire to move away despite being close to home.
The further I want to go
Continued longing for distance despite proximity to home.
When I'm swallowed by this room
Feeling confined and alienated within a space, detached from the external world.
I feel foreign to the world
Similar sentiment of feeling disconnected from the larger world.
The nightly sunset waves me goodbye
The sunset marks the end of the day, signaling departure or endings.
Silently vanishes beyond the blurred skyline
The sunset fades away quietly, symbolizing the passing of opportunities or time.
Trapped in the flow, for years to come
Being stuck in a continuous flow of life without change for an extended period.
I hear my name as the distance calls
Reiteration of feeling a distant call or pull towards something beyond reach.
The closer I am to home
Repeated desire to move away despite the proximity to home, echoing the earlier lines.
The further I want to go
Continued yearning for distance and exploration despite being close to home.
When I'm swallowed by this room
Reiteration of feeling trapped or disconnected within a room from the outside world.
I feel foreign to the world
Similar sense of feeling foreign or disconnected from the larger world.
I hear my name as the distance calls
Final reaffirmation of feeling a distant call or pull towards something beyond reach.
