what does home mean?
so many of the songs that speak to me have to do with the feeling of home, whether it's about a broken home, homesickness, longing to find a home, a home that isn't safe anymore, and so on.
this is basically just going to be a collection of lyrics that relates to this concept. I'm just so tired of being in a place where I always have to fight to survive until it's time to go to sleep again. no one should have to live like that, and yet here I am.
maybe, through this mini list, you'll find something that speaks to you too
This was a home once/Where we found our way, oh the golden days/This was a home once/Where my life begun, where life moves on - This Was A Home Once by Bad Suns
I hate it here so I will go to secret gardens in my mind/People need a key to get to, the only one is mine - I Hate It Here by Taylor Swift
What do you know, this house is falling apart/What can I say, this house is falling apart/We got no money but we got ha-heart/We're gonna rattle this ghost town/This house is falling apart - Anna Sun by Walk The Moon
I got dreams but I can't make myself believe them/Spend the rest of my life with what could have been/And I will die in the house that I grew up in/I'm homesick - Homesick by Noah Kahan
The birds are mocking me, they call to be heard/The birds are mocking me, they curse my return/How am I gonna get myself back home? - Get Home by Bastille
I think that’s enough for now, but maybe this will be a recurring theme.
Thanks for being here!
love, maria
