Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coal flicker candles swelling
Thoughs come of fire burning
Everything you made will end up broken
And cheap thoughts and cheap addresses
You're flapping then learn your lesson
She only makes that moaning when shes
Faking it
And fake sounds and plastic feelings
Freckles and skins all peeling
Soon comes the night when I go home
And then you're
Offering the same old things it's
Hair nets and safety pins
And man does the same thing she always does
It's your home brings
Em up all things
Like sitting up
Singing hymns
So I will lay the table but I will not sing
I will not sing

And I go what would I do
Now I've got no excuse
And all this bullshit has landed in my hands
Like I don't want to talk it's not really complicated
I just don't want to talk to you
I just don't want to know
The less I know
The less I care it's just I might not say yes
I mean I won't say no I never say no
I mean I might say I might
But we all know that really means no
So I ask

And it's

Coals flicker candles swelling
Thoughts come of fire burning
Everything you made will end up broken
And cheap thoughts and cheap addresses
You're flapping then learn your lesson
She only makes that moaning when shes
Faking it
And fake sounds and plastic feelings
Freckles and skins all peeling
Soon comes the night when I go home
And then you're
Offering the same old things it's
Hair nets and safety pins
And man does the same thing she always does
It's your home brings
Em up all things
Like sitting up
Singing hymns

So I will lay the table but I will not sing
I will not sing

Please don't make me sing
Please don't make me try

Cause I like this stuff
I like the plane
Especially with people paying
But it's all too much I don't seem to care
Must be something in this English air

Must be something that I'm doing wrong
Cause I'm always singing the same old song
I'm always breaking the same old heart
That I carry around in this soulless cart and

Coals flicker candles swelling
Thoughts come of fire burning
Everything you made will end up broken
And cheap thoughts and cheap addresses
You're flapping then learn your lesson
She only makes that moaning when shes
Faking it
And fake sounds and plastic feelings
Freckles and skins all peeling
Soon comes the night when I go home
And then you're
Offering the same old things it's
Hair nets and safety pins
And man does the same thing she always does
It's your home brings

Em up all things
Like sitting up
Singing hymns
So I will lay the table but I will not sing
I will not sing

And you're drunk drunk
Drinking like a skunk drunk
Drinking like a skunk drunk
Drinking like a skunk drunk
Drinking like a
Home brings a lot more things
Drunk drunk drinking like a skunk drunk
Drinking like a skunk drunk
Drinking like a
Home brings a lot more things
A lot more time to sit and drink
A lot more time to play it dumb




Sitting round
Getting drunk

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in AlicebanD's song Home are quite abstract and difficult to interpret. However, it seems like the song talks about the singer's sense of disillusionment and lack of attachment to the world around them. In the opening lines of the song, the singer seems to be reflecting on how everything eventually ends up broken and cheap. They also mention that someone only moans when they are faking it, which could refer to the futility of trying to hide one's true feelings or intentions.


As the song progresses, the singer talks about going back home and being offered the same old things. They lay the table but refuse to sing, which could signify a reluctance to engage with the people and events around them fully. The last stanza of the song talks about getting drunk and wasting time, which could indicate a desire to escape from reality or a sense of anger toward the world for not living up to the singer's expectations.


Overall, the song seems to be an exploration of themes related to identity, disillusionment, and a lack of attachment to the world around us.
