Home Sweet Home
Andreas Gabalier Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wherever I go whatever I do
From all of my heart I'm still missing you
Deep in my soul in miles away
Times going by I wish I could stay

Home sweet home
Home sweet home
You're the place where I belong

Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Wherever I go I live life my way
But still now and then my falls drift away
As long as I live I'll always return
I'll never forget where I come from

Home sweet home
Home sweet home
You're the place where I belong
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

You still make me (you still make me) go on and on

Home sweet home
Home sweet home

You're the place (you're the place) where I belong
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

You still make me go on and on
Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Home sweet home
Home sweet home

Overall Meaning

The song "Home Sweet Home" by Andreas Gabalier is a beautiful tribute to one's roots and homeland. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, describing the feeling of missing home no matter where one goes in life. The first lines "Wherever I go whatever I do, from all of my heart I'm still missing you" express the deep longing and nostalgia to be back in the place where one belongs. The phrase "deep in my soul in miles away" conveys the idea that no matter the physical distance, home remains an integral part of one's identity and being.

As the song progresses, we see that the singer of the song has chosen to live their life in their own way, yet there is a constant pull towards their hometown. The line "but still now and then my falls drift away" may refer to moments of weakness, where the comforting and familiar surroundings of home seem to be the only solace. However, the artist is committed to never forget where they come from and always return to their roots. The chorus is a celebration of the sense of belonging and the comfort that comes from being surrounded by people and places that are familiar and dear to one's heart.
