Line by Line Meaning
Home always feels so far away
My home, the place where I feel safe and comfortable, constantly feels distant and unreachable.
What have I done? What have I done to deserve this?
I question my actions and wonder what I did to deserve the current situation and feeling of displacement.
I have no control. This is out of my hands now.
I lack the power to influence or change the circumstance. It's now beyond my ability to alter.
I have no choice. I have no choice but to leave.
There is no other option for me but to depart and move away from my home.
If home is where the heart is, that's where we're heading.
If the essence of home lies in the love and connection one feels, then that's the direction we are going towards.
And if home is where the heart is, I can rest myself.
If my heart truly belongs to home, then returning there will provide solace and peace for my weary soul.
Come back stronger, I will come back stronger.
When I return, I will be stronger and more resilient than before, ready to face the challenges that lie ahead.
I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
I apologize deeply and sincerely for the pain and inconvenience that my departure may cause.
I'll leave now, but I promise to return.
Although I must leave now, I give you my word that I will come back in due time.
But I promise from the bottom of my heart, I will return.
With utmost sincerity and conviction, I assure you that I will come back, wholeheartedly and without reservation.
This is killing me, I stand here screaming but nothing comes out.
The emotional anguish and pain I feel in leaving my home is overwhelming. I try to express myself, but my words go unheard.
I hope you can see the pain in my eyes and what I'm going through.
I yearn for you to understand the depth of my suffering by simply looking into my eyes and recognizing the turmoil I am experiencing.
You have to trust me on this one, have I ever given you a reason to doubt me?
I implore you to have faith in me and my decision. Reflect upon our history together, and you will find that I have never given you a cause for doubt or mistrust.
I'm sick, home sick and tired.
Not only do I feel physically unwell, but I also yearn for my home intensely, growing weary and exhausted in its absence.
I promise to come back. I promise to return.
I make a solemn vow to come back to my home, emphasizing my commitment and reassurance that I will not abandon it.
I will return, I will return, I promise to return, I promise to come back.
Reiterating my determination, I affirm multiple times that I will indeed come back. My words carry the weight of my devotion and intention to return.

I love you man! this is the best song you guys ever made so far. Lyrically it reminds me of Touche Amore's "Parting The Sea Between Brightness And Me" and The Ghost Inside's album "Returners", which is amazing. Thank you!
