Ferry Corsten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Impossible, yet tangible, an ancient dream comes true
Happy since confessing your affect on me
You are my song, you're my appetite
You lift me higher than any satellite
And I'm just still astounded
I didn't know there was perfection
I tried to lose the quest for home
Anyhow, I broke the spell
Was swept away on the swell
Sail for home
Inside I knew
Home is you
In Ferry Corsten's song Come Home, the opening lines suggest that the singer has been waiting for the person they are singing to or about. The first line states "Inside I knew the passing of time would lead to you." This conveys that the singer has had the person in mind for some time and believes that it was only a matter of time before they met. The second line is a little more complex, suggesting that the person may have been an impossible dream or expectation, yet the dream has finally come true. The phrase "ancient dream" connotes a long-standing desire, perhaps even unattainable, but it has finally come to fruition.
The singer goes on to express happiness since confessing the effect the other person has on them. They describe the person as being their "song" and their "appetite," which suggests that they are deeply connected and that their connection is essential to the singer's survival or well-being. The use of the metaphor "you lift me higher than any satellite" emphasizes the idea of an otherworldly or fantastical connection between the two. The singer seems overwhelmed by the experience, expressing their astonishment by saying, "And I'm just still astounded/I didn't know there was perfection." The final lines of the song are the most direct and impactful, as the singer states plainly, "Home is you." This phrase sums up the entire sentiment of the song, conveying that the singer feels most at home with the person they are singing to.
