Come Home
David Donatien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
tried hard to build myself independently
it's hard to always do what you expect from me
saying come home
come home
i try to understand why it hurts you
to see the difference in our points of view
saying come home
come home
it's insane
how feeling so much shame
will only bring you pain
and I no longer know how to explain
see i'm happy as can be
and you're my family, my ground
and i'm just hoping one day i will find you
you're holding back the tears when you kiss me
smile smile when i'm back again as you see me
when years are passing by and you miss me
you're saying come home
come home
such a shame
you're feeling so much blame
and yet i'm still the same
and i no longer know how to explain
see i’m grateful as can be
'cause you’re my family, i'm bound
and i'm just hoping one day you will shine through
let's try to look at each other
find one another
asking how can it be
fighting and loosing each other
thinking the other
is not so much like me
finding out all that we see
is just not always what is real
that you come home
come home
just come home
come home
my turn to understand what you lived through
today i only feel how i miss you
so it's only fare, when it's hard to bare
and you ask if i, i try to come home
come home
The song "Come Home" by David Donatien and Yael Naïm is an emotional composition about the complexities of familial relationships. The lyrics are an expression of a person's journey of self-discovery and self-reliance while battling with the expectations of their family. The singer confesses that they had to go far away from their family to find their true self, however, they still miss their loved ones and want to maintain a connection with them. The chorus repeats "Come Home" emphasizing the singer's desire to be accepted and loved by their family, despite their differences. The singer acknowledges the pain caused to their family by their journey and seeks understanding instead of blame.
The first verse "I'm flying far away to be really free, tried hard to build myself independently, it's hard to always do what you expect from me, saying come home, come home" expresses the sense of freedom that comes from physically and emotionally separating from one's family. However, the singer still experiences guilt and pressure from familial expectations to conform, despite their newfound liberation.
The second verse "It's insane how feeling so much shame will only bring you pain, and I no longer know how to explain, see I'm happy as can be and you're my family, my ground, and I'm just hoping one day I will find you" explores the emotional burden and confusion that the singer experiences between being happy on their own and wanting to reconnect with their loved ones. The singer recognizes the pain and confusion that their absence has caused to their family, but struggles to explain their journey and newfound happiness.
Overall, "Come Home" by David Donatien and Yael Naïm is a touching and introspective song dealing with the complexities of familial relationships and the desire for acceptance and understanding.

Living up to your expectations is challenging
saying come home come home
You want me to return home
i try to understand why it hurts you
I attempt to comprehend why my actions hurt you
to see the difference in our points of view
To notice the contrast in our ways of seeing things
don't blame me for a thing that I didn't do
Do not accuse me of things I am not guilty of
it's insane
This situation seems crazy
how feeling so much shame
Being consumed by shame
will only bring you pain
Will only cause you agony
and I no longer know how to explain
I am unsure how to make you understand
see i'm happy as can be
I am content and gratified
and you're my family, my ground
You are my family, my foundation
and i'm just hoping one day i will find you
I wish to reconnect with you someday
you're holding back the tears when you kiss me
You suppress your emotions when you greet me

As time goes by, you long for me

I remain the same person

I am deeply thankful
'cause you’re my family, i'm bound
Because you are my family, I feel connected
and i'm just hoping one day you will shine through
I hope for you to express yourself fully someday
let's try to look at each other
Let us attempt to understand one another
find one another
Discover each other's perspectives
asking how can it be
Questioning how things turned out this way
fighting and loosing each other
Arguing and losing our connection
thinking the other
Believing the other to be
is not so much like me
Different from oneself in many ways
finding out all that we see
Realizing that what we perceive
is just not always what is real
Is not always the truth
that you come home
Asking you to return home
come home
Please come home
just come home
Simply come back home
come home
Please come home, I miss you
my turn to understand what you lived through
It is my chance to comprehend your experiences as well
today i only feel how i miss you
Today all I feel is my longing for you
so it's only fare, when it's hard to bare
So it is justified when it becomes too difficult to handle
and you ask if i, i try to come home
When you ask me to come back home

@MsSolyane Les gens qui l'aiment seront de la tournée c'est sûr ! J'ai discuté (par mail) avec "Daromeo" et il n'a pas tort non plus : j'en montrais un peu trop aussi ! Je laisserai l'intégralité des vidéos lorsque la tournée sera bien terminée (je ne veux pas gâcher le plaisir des autres quand même !!) Mais pour te faire plaisir et pour fêter sa victoire de la musique, je diffuse "I try hard". Au plaisir de se croiser à un de ses concerts...
