Avril Lavigne 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, what's 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 reason why
You've been rejected
And now you can't find
What you 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 falling 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 of Avril Lavigne's song Nobody's Home (Live Acoustic V) address the plight of a person who feels lost, alone, and broken inside. The singer talks about the pain that this person is going through and how she is struggling to find a way out of it. The opening lines, "I couldn't tell you, why she felt that way, she felt it every day, and I couldn't help her, I just watched her make the same mistakes again" speak to the powerlessness of the singer as she watches someone she cares about suffer. Although she wants to help, she is unable to, and this causes her pain as well.
The chorus of the song, "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" powerfully captures the sense of despair and hopelessness that the person feels. The use of the metaphor of "home" emphasizes the fact that this person has lost her sense of belonging and security. She is lost and alone in a world that doesn't seem to care about her.
The song then offers a message of hope to this person as well as to anyone else who is going through a similar situation. The final lines, "She's lost inside, lost inside, she's lost inside, lost inside" speak to the feeling of being lost and confused. However, by offering the advice to "open your eyes and look outside, find the reason why you've been rejected and now you can't find what you left behind" the song offers a way out of this darkness. It calls on the person to be strong, to face her problems head-on, and to find her place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
I couldn't tell you
I have no idea how to explain it
Why she felt that way
I don't understand her emotions
She felt it everyday
She experiences this feeling every day
And I couldn't help her
I am powerless in offering any assistance
I just watched her make
I only saw her repeatedly commit
The same mistakes again
The same errors over and over
What's wrong, what's wrong now
What's going on, why is she not okay
Too many, too many problems
There are too many issues to handle
Don't know where she belongs
She's unsure of where she fits in
Where she belongs.
A continuation of the previous line
She wants to go home
She desires to return home
But nobody's home
No one is there for her
That's where she lies
She is stuck in that place
Broken inside
She is emotionally damaged
With no place to go
She has nowhere to turn
No place to go
A repetition of her lack of options
To dry her eyes
To find comfort for her tears
Broken inside
Once again, emphasizing her emotional turmoil
Open your eyes
Look beyond yourself
And look outside
See the world around you
Find the reason why
Discover what caused it
You've been rejected
You've been turned away
And now you can't find
You are unable to locate
What you left behind
What was overlooked before
Be strong, be strong now
Build up your courage
Too many, too many problems
Again, too many problems
She wants to go home
Reiterating her desire to leave
But nobody's home
Still no one there for her
That's where she lies
She's stuck in this situation
Broken inside
Once more, she is emotionally vulnerable
With no place to go
Still no options for her
No place to go to
Continuing her lack of choices
Dry her eyes
Stop her tears from falling
Broken inside
Her state of vulnerability
Her feelings she hides
She keeps her emotions concealed
Her dreams she can't find
She's struggling to achieve her aspirations
She's losing her mind
She's going insane
She's falling behind
She's not progressing as she should
She can't find her place
She feels out of place everywhere
She's losing her faith
She's losing confidence and belief
She's falling from grace
She's making mistakes losing her former status
She's all over the place yeah
She's in a state of chaos and confusion
She's lost inside lost inside
She's incredibly lost
She wants to go home
Reiterating her desire to leave
But nobody's home
Still no one's there to help her
That's where she lies
She's still stuck in this situation
Broken inside
A reminder of her emotional distress
With no place to go
She's still hopeless
No place to go to
There are no options available
Dry her eyes
Find a way to comfort her tears
Broken inside
Her emotional state
