Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wake up drowning, waiting for recovery
All the ghosts have left me in my misery
The wind thinks I'm lonely, my nightmares are my only friends
I'm suffocating in the company
Realize you're keeping me from breaking, breaking free from the stone
Keep on running, keep on hoping
I'll find my home
Someday I will take it back, take it all back
From the throne, oh-ooh
Someday I will find my own way home
Someday
Tear it all away, no way to repay
Colours turning grey, wondering whether I should stay
Should I stay?
Realize you're keeping me from breaking, breaking free from the stone
Chase the day I find my happy ending
Keep on running, keep on hoping
I'll find my home
Someday I will take it back, take it all back
From the throne, oh-ooh
Someday I will find my own way home
Oh, who am I?
Oh, who am I?
Oh, was it all just a lie?
Take a leap of faith
Take a leap of faith
And reach the sun in the sky
Realize you're keeping me from breaking, breaking free from the stone
Chase the day I find my happy ending
Keep on running, keep on hoping
I'll find my home
Someday I will take it back, take it all back
From the throne, oh-ooh
Someday I will find my own way home
Someday, someday
The lyrics of Derivakat's song Welcome Home depict a person who wakes up feeling lost and alone, drowning in their own misery. They are haunted by ghosts of the past and their only friend is the nightmare that suffocates them. They feel they are trapped and suffocated in the company of others. The only hope they have is the realization that someone is keeping them from breaking free and that one day they will find their way back home. They want to take back their life from whoever has taken control and find their own way.
The song is a powerful anthem about hope and finding one's way back home. It speaks to the struggles that people face when they feel lost and alone in the world. The importance of hope and perseverance in the face of adversity is a central theme of the song. The lyrics encourage people to keep on running, keep on hoping, and to never give up until they find their way back home.

Now to be fair, I love constructive replies and I was rude, but let's take into consideration that I checked every comment (I could find) made on the video when this comment was made.
I didn't find a single comment mentioning the reference, so I made this comment gesturing that "Yes, this is strange, all things considered."
5 months pass and I get a reply stating one of two things: I missed a comment, or the person replying made a comment about the reference after I made this comment.
Either way, the gap in time and the reply were both pretty inane.
Something like "I noticed this too!" could have been said, but saying shit like "Funny, I pointed this out" when you didn't at the time of the comment's inception speaks a more passive-aggressive tone, to me at least.
So again, sorry for being rude, but I felt it justified.

He found his home.
He did.
Not what he expected or wanted.
But he and we can be sure that he will be welcomed there with open arms.
You did well Tommy, even if it is not what we wanted or wished for you.
We will all miss you,
but most of all we will never forget you.

@@Amber7H incorrect he has caused one more death (jack manifold who he literally dumped in a lava lake with no provocation) Tommyโs kills werenโt justified per say dream ruled a peaceful land and Tommy brought drugs and war into it Iโd in fact say tommy is the villain of the story
Techno killed people yes but tubbo who is also a drug dealer who ran a nation that committed multiple war crimes under his reign was one of his kills technically speaking in modern laws he would be awarded prizes and praised globally for silencing a โdictatorโ who commuted numerous war crimes and disobeyed multiple doctorines
He killed quacity who was trying to push forward an illegal punishment when they promised him a actual trial instead of just executing him so he was just defending himself
Schlatt was a tyrant who commited numerous war crimes
Tommy also rigged an election(well tried)
The first time he killed quacity also justified because quackity was endorsing a military regime that had once again commited numerous war crimes
In addition to this tommy launched an uprising against a rightful regime and used drugs on his soldiers to help them fight
Once again a war crime that was outlawed after the Nazis
In addition to this he bribed a political organizer when in a debate
Technoblade would receive maybe 10 years in jail for murder even in self defense and illegal drug use because he fought against an illegal regime only 10 if he had good lawyers or a good judge he would have 5-8 maybe
Tommy would be looking at life in prison maybe even execution even as a minor because he committed literal war crimes (such as murder and kidnapping of fundy)
@shj1535
I'll just analyze this song because it's the best I can do a Saturday night :)
"My nightmares are my only friends" I'm pretty sure he's referring to Dream in exile, who was his 'friend', but also his worst nightmare.
"All the ghosts have left me in my misery" It could be Ghostbur, if you take the lyrics literally, but it could also be referring to all the ghosts in his head.
"Someday I will find my own way home" He wants to go home from exile.
"Colors turning gray, wondering whether I should stay" Edit: His eyes are fading colour and he's wondering whether he should stay alive. By No U and I Wanna Die
"I'll find my home" hints that he doesn't know currently what his home is or that he doesn't feel like he has one at the moment. Which is fair after Tubbo exiled him. By G Lombard
"take it all back from the throne" He wants to take his life, his freedom and his friends back from Dream, who was the mastermind behind Eret, the king of the Dream SMP. By Kaitlyn Tolle
"Take a leap of faith" The line could be referring to tommy jumping into the water from his tower. Whether he lives or dies depends on where he lands (the ground or the water), and he has to trust himself to make the right decision. By orphan_account but like, on youtube
I'm sorry if I got it wrong Kat. It's an amazing song, I can't wait to set it on repeat over and over again :it's SO AMAZING :)
@itsladyvanilla8843
Omg, this hits hard now, Tommy just wanted live in peace with your friends, your family, he just wanted find his home, a place that he could call home, but now he's stuck in afterlife with Schlatt and mexican dream (at least) we don't know what will happen next (but we have teories, sure). But why Philza can't be a good dad (Tommy called for him when he got stuck in prision with Dream), why Tubbo doesn't care for him like before (he was just: oh Tommy died... anyway, how are you going today Ranboo), what is going with Dream, my confort figure, my inspiration turned into a evil person that manipulate and controls everything (it's roleplaying, I know), he went crazy, but no one see it, they just wanna see the side of the "good guys", maybe Dream isn't a good guy anymore. He just wanted see everyone as a big and happy family, but none family is perfect, that's why all of this happened.
This is the dream SMP guys: we have a lore, we have friends that turn into enemies and enemies that turn into friends, we also have ghosts (one more now), nations, canon families, anarchy, regret, and much more, come watch too, you won't regret about it!
Jack Manifold and Niki must be happy that now tommy is dead.
And Puffy... How she feels about it? Dream, her son, is in a prision, and now, he killed Tommy, that she prottected before, 'cause she knows that above everything, Tommy is still a child (I'm sorry Tommy).
Tommy lost everything, his family, his friends, his home, and now, his last canon life.
What will happen? Dream can revive Tommy to prove his power, everyone can just make a funeral for Tommy and forget about him, someone can try kill dream to revenge...
And Karl Jacobs, Why is he important for the lore? Idk, this is the first time that I do this, anyway, he's traveling in the time, maybe trying to discover how to try prevent that all of this happen, accordingly the other song of Kat (Turn back time). Well guys, only the time will say what will happen, until this day, stay tuned in Dream SMP and stay safe.
And Tommy, stay breathing, stay fighting, don't worry, you'll find your home.
Sorry for the essay, but I had to write it.
@endermb9022
It actually is for Tommy's Exile Arc.
"Wake up drowning, waiting for recovery"
Tommy finds himself in exile and starts waiting for a person to help him/keep him company because he's lonely.
"All the ghosts have left me in my misery."
Ghostbur told Tommy he would invite people to his beach party, but Dream intercepted the letters, and Tommy never knew so he blamed ghostbur that nobody turned up, making him feel lonely and sad.
"The wind thinks Iโm lonely, my nightmares are my only friends."
His only friend is Dream, and he hates Dream because dream scares him.
"I'm suffocating in the company."
Dream blew up Logchester because Tommy hid his valuables from Dream. Tommy ran to Techno after that.
@TommyInnit
