♫ Tap to play "Nobody's Home"
How do I create annotations?
Oh, we went out, we didn't come home
We snuck out, got caught alone
Making a mess of our youth
I lost my innocence
Someone help me find it
My life's been the place
With your things and your faces
But I'm sitting right here
And nobody's home
And Everyone's gone
To someplace I may not know
Or ever find
Nobody's home
To help me see right from that
Nobody's home
To save me
My mind is blank
Words don't come out
I'm falling into an empty space
It's so clear, that I'm hopeless in here
There's so much to fear
So much at stake
But I lost my innocence
Someone help me find it
My life has been the place
With your things and your faces
But I'm sitting right here
Are we breaking in half?
Where are those promises we had
You said you'd love until the end
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Nobody's home
Everyone's gone
Nobody's home
To save me
Caroline Pennell's song "Nobody's Home" is a heart-wrenching ballad about feeling lost and abandoned in a world where everyone seems to have moved on. Pennell sings about going out with a friend and getting caught, losing her innocence in the process. She laments the fact that no one seems to be around to help her process her emotions and find her way back home.
The chorus echoes her sense of isolation and desperation. Nobody is home to offer her guidance, support or love. Everyone has seemingly disappeared into a place that she doesn't know or understand. Pennell's voice is hauntingly beautiful as she sings about her loneliness and fear. The bridge offers a glimmer of hope as she wonders if she and her friend are breaking apart, but ultimately she is left in a state of helplessness.
Overall, "Nobody's Home" is a poignant and honest portrayal of the struggle to navigate young adulthood in a world where people are often detached and emotionally distant. It highlights the importance of having a support system and finding people who can offer guidance and love through difficult times.
