Home Sweet Home
Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come home low

Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you'll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm comin' off this

Long and winding road
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin' off
The silver screen

My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together
At the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight

I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Yeah yeah

I'm on my way




Just set me free
Home sweet home

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of 蒼's "Home Sweet Home" are quite revealing, as they speak to the singer's complex nature. While she identifies as a dreamer, she also has a "heart of gold," suggesting that she is both imaginative and compassionate. However, she has had to "run away high" from something, indicating that she may have experienced some difficulty or trauma in her life that she is still grappling with. The specific reason for her departure isn't clear, but it seems as though she is trying to avoid a negative outcome, thus the note that she had to "run away high/ So I wouldn't come home low."


The song continues with a message that is at once comforting and empowering. When things don't go as planned, it doesn't always mean that everything was a failure- sometimes it's just a matter of perspective. The singer encourages the listener to internalize this idea by telling them to "take this song and you'll never feel/ Left all alone." It's a comforting thought and one that many people may need to hear when they're going through a tough time.


The rest of the lyrics speak to the singer's journey towards finding a place where she feels like she belongs. She is a sensitive person who has been hurt in the past and has struggled to find her footing. However, through perseverance and a strong sense of self, she is able to keep moving forward. By the end of the song, she is finally making her way "home sweet home," a place where she can be herself and feel secure in who she is. It's a powerful message and one that is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever felt lost or alone.


Line by Line Meaning

You know I'm a dreamer
I have big ambitions for my life


But my heart's of gold
I am a kind and genuine person


I had to run away high
I needed to escape from a difficult situation


So I wouldn't come home low
To avoid returning home feeling down


Just when things went right
Even though things were going well


It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Not every situation was a mistake


Just take this song and you'll never feel
Listen to this song and you'll never experience


Left all alone
The feeling of being abandoned


Take me to your heart
Please accept me and love me


Feel me in your bones
Let me deeply affect you


Just one more night
Only need one more evening


And I'm comin' off this
So I can leave this behind


Long and winding road
A difficult and uncertain path


I'm on my way
I'm making progress


Home sweet home
The place where I feel comfortable and happy


Tonight tonight
This evening


You know that I've seen
I have observed


Too many romantic dreams
Too many unrealistic hopes and desires


Up in lights, fallin' off
In the public eye and then losing that status


The silver screen
The movie industry


My heart's like an open book
My emotions and thoughts are easily visible


For the whole world to read
For anyone to understand


Sometimes nothing keeps me together
Occasionally I feel like I'm falling apart


At the seams
In the areas where things join together


Just set me free
Allow me to be independent and pursue my goals


Yeah yeah
Affirmative, agreement
