BROCKHAMPTON Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got a grip, baby
But you just can't seem to fall
You know what we are
Took for granted, fell, we catch ourselves
Don't worry, baby girl
There's no one in the world
But when you say I got a girl
When I say you make my knees so weak
Then you know I'm missin' you
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I've been thinkin' about you all night girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I've been thinkin' about you all night girl
Send me to California
I'm tryna get so lost
Not turnin' up to a 9 to 5
Just wanna know why
No plate on a white Lexus
I blacked out on a random cliff
Summer nights, I saw things change
And you still not right to my tick
Pleasure, something
Deep inside my chest
Long nights, long drives
Change across my face
Cowboy, ride it
That's my wild west
Come on babe, you can put it on us
Come on babe, you can put it on me
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
Yeah, you know it's alright
Do you know it's alright?
'Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
The lyrics of BROCKHAMPTON's "HOME" are reflective of a person who is trying to keep their cool but is struggling to hold themselves together. Despite having their life together, they can't help but fall for someone they know they shouldn't, as they have a significant other. The song is about the battle between doing what you know is right and following your heart's desire. The chorus repeats the phrase, "Do you know it's alright? 'Cause I look at you, you're mine, girl."
The first verse of the song is about the struggle to keep control and catch oneself before falling. The singer acknowledges that they and the person they are interested in are both in the wrong, but they can't help their feelings. The chorus repeats twice, emphasizing that everything will be okay despite the current struggles. The second verse is about a desire to escape and be lost somewhere else. The singer wants to get away from their normal life and routine and find themselves. But even in the midst of their search, the person they can't help but think about is always on their mind. As the chorus repeats several more times, it's apparent that the singer has given in to their desires and wants nothing more than to be with the person they shouldn't.
Overall, "HOME" is a song about the struggle between what's right and what the heart wants. It's a reminder that sometimes, we can't help who we fall for, and that's okay. Life may be complicated, but in the end, it will all work out fine.

Oh, try to keep your cool
Stay calm
You got a grip, baby
You have control, don't let go
But you just can't seem to fall
You're holding yourself back from letting go
You know what we are
You understand our relationship
Took for granted, fell, we catch ourselves
We lost sight of what we had, but realized before it was too late
Don't worry, baby girl
Everything is going to be okay
There's no one in the world
There's no one else I want but you
But when you say I got a girl
When you mention my girlfriend
Say it and I know it's killin' you, yeah
I can hear the pain in your voice when you talk about her
When I say you make my knees so weak
When I tell you how you make me feel
Then you know I'm missin' you
I wish you were here with me
Send me to California
Take me away, let's escape
I'm tryna get so lost
Disconnect from reality
Not turnin' up to a 9 to 5
Not following the typical daily routine
Just wanna know why
Need to figure out the meaning of life
No plate on a white Lexus
No label or expectations on who I should be
I blacked out on a random cliff
Lost myself in the moment, disconnected from reality
Summer nights, I saw things change
Changes happened during the carefree summer nights
And you still not right to my tick
You still have an effect on me
Pleasure, something
The feeling of pleasure
Deep inside my chest
An intense feeling, a strong emotion
Long nights, long drives
Endless nights, never-ending journeys
Change across my face
The emotions showing on my face
Cowboy, ride it
Embrace the adventure and ride it out
That's my wild west
This is my journey, my adventure
Come on babe, you can put it on us
We can face anything together
Come on babe, you can put it on me
Share your problems with me, I'm here for you
Cause I look at you, you're mine girl
You belong to me
Yeah, you know it's alright
Everything is okay
Do you know it's alright?
Are you aware that everything is okay?
