Coming Home
Finding Identity in Homecoming: Whistler Isaiah's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Every time that I come home I feel so defeated
Expressing a sense of defeat upon returning home.
Im supposed to feel some sort of satisfaction
Questioning the expected feeling of satisfaction upon returning home.
It's not to say that I don't love who I am, or what I do
Acknowledging love for oneself and what one does.
Just sharin' the thoughts I have with you
Sharing personal thoughts with someone.
It's all for me
Stating that the experience is personal and self-centric.
It's all for you
Emphasizing the dual purpose: personal and for the listener.
Without you
Highlighting the importance of the listener in the singer's life.
We wouldn't have much to do
Suggesting that without the listener, there would be little to do.
Spending weeks on end with your friends
Describing spending extended time with friends.
It's nothing like you could imagine
Contrasting the experience with expectations.
Eventually you'll start to see
Anticipating a realization about the experience.
Even though you're not alone, it feels so
Expressing a feeling of loneliness despite being with others.
It's all for me
Reiterating that the experience is personal.
It's all for you
Re-emphasizing the dual purpose: personal and for the listener.
It's tough to be
Acknowledging the difficulty of the situation.
Everything for you
Declaring the singer as everything for the listener.
