Nobody's Home
杏子 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why she felt that way
She felt it everyday
And I couldn't help her
I just watched her make
The same mistakes again
What′s wrong, whats wrong now
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That′s where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside
Open your eyes
And look outside
Find the reasons why
You′ve been rejected
Now you can't find
What you′ve left behind
Be strong be strong now
Too many too many problems
Don't know where she belongs
Where she belongs
She wants to go home
But nobody′s home
That's where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside
Her feelings she hides
Her dreams she can′t find
She's losing her mind
She's fallen behind
She can′t find her place
She′s losing her faith
She's falling from grace
She′s all over the place Yeah
She wants to go home
But nobody's home
That′s where she lies
Broken inside
With no place to go
No place to go
To dry her eyes
Broken inside
She's lost inside lost inside
She′s lost inside lost inside
The lyrics to 杏子's song "Nobody's Home" describe a person who is struggling with their inner demons and is in search of a safe haven. The singer couldn't help the person in question, and all they could do was watch them make the same mistakes repeatedly. The person doesn't know where they belong, and they are constantly battling too many problems. They want to go home but nobody's home, and they feel broken inside with no place to go and nobody to talk to. They are losing their mind, falling behind, and have fallen from grace. They are all over the place and can't seem to find their footing.
This song seems to be describing a person suffering from depression or anxiety. They are lost inside, and their emotions are getting the better of them. They are looking for someone to talk to, someone who will listen to them, but they can't seem to find anybody. They don't know how to express themselves, and they are constantly struggling to find their place in the world. The singer is asking them to be strong, to look outside and find the reasons why they've been rejected. They are urging them to open their eyes and take control of their lives.
