August Is Home
Forever Came Calling Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So alone that it just makes sense,
Finding out now what love truly is
I buried the weight but the debt still exists
And the interest rates are closing in.
Scream what you want settle for-get
Lay in your bed not getting rest
Bury the weight with a stained mattress,
Oh the interesting ways we learn to forgive.

Whoa?
This isn't what I thought it would be.
Woe!
Why can't we just want the same things?
If it's what you always wanted
And it's what you'll always need take it from me.

25 back bedroom floor 6086 Morongo
And you always thought you were meant for more.
You never knew what home is,
You never that home is people that you care about,
Fuck a place that you grew up in.

Whoa?
This isn't what I thought it would be.
Woe!
Why can't we just want the same things?
If it's what you always wanted
And it's what you'll always need take it from me.

I've got a twin mattress coffin that we made into a home,
Cheap candles, champagne, and your drag queen shows.
I can't give you much more than a promise my word,
My sick obsessions and to always fetish your worth.





Your captivated captain, sits captive on your seas,
Set my sails to your waves and cut the anchor free.

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Forever Came Calling's song "August Is Home" convey a sense of loneliness and confusion. The singer is grappling with the concept of love and the weight of their past mistakes, struggling to find forgiveness within themselves. The repetition of the phrase "bury the weight" emphasizes the internalized nature of their struggles. The use of financial language, such as "debt" and "interest rates," adds a layer of metaphorical complexity to the song's themes.


The chorus serves as a plea for understanding and connection. The use of the phrases "this isn't what I thought it would be" and "why can't we just want the same things" highlights the singer's sense of disillusionment and frustration with their relationships. Despite these struggles, the singer acknowledges the importance of pursuing what we truly want and need.
