Liberation
Homes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are nothing but a path unknown
An abeyance that's grown
And that will soon overflow
I know you're getting cold
But won't you hang on for us all?
Just like I've seen a thaw
Hold on now
Brother you've been here before
When you were lost and good as gone
When you were bleeding on your own
But you survived, now - don't we all?
We clench our teeth and make it home
This revelry of yours
Is nothing but what you've longed for
You've learned to dance alone
Now the whole world's come to rejoice
It greets you in meadows
It knows what only you two know
All living's now your home
You'll know a love that you've not known
Hold on now
Brother you've been here before
When you were lost and good as gone
When you were bleeding on your own
But you survived, now - don't we all?
We clench our teeth and make it home
Make sure your words go through your heart before they go through your mouth
Make sure they're kind more than they're loud
Make sure they're not another knife
I know it's impossible at times
But it may just be our only way out
The lyrics of Homes's song "Liberation" depict a journey of personal growth and resilience. The opening lines suggest that the singer is facing difficult situations and challenges ("tragedies") that they have yet to fully understand ("path unknown"). The following lines describe this struggle as something that has been building up ("abeyance that's grown") and is about to overflow.
The singer acknowledges the singer's feelings of coldness and despair, urging them to hold on for the sake of everyone. Drawing from their own experience, the singer reminds the singer that they have been in a similar situation before, feeling lost and close to giving up. However, they managed to survive and find their way back home. This survival is not unique; it is something shared by all people, who push through difficult times, grit their teeth, and find their way home.
The second verse suggests that the singer's desires and celebrations ("revelry") are something they have longed for and may have achieved through self-reflection and personal growth. They have learned to dance alone, finding joy and contentment within themselves. The world now joins in their celebration, recognizing the depth of their experiences and the love they have discovered.
The chorus repeats the message of holding on and surviving, reminding the singer that they have faced similar challenges in the past and can do so again. The final lines of the song offer guidance on communication: the singer advises the singer to speak from their heart, being kind rather than loud. They emphasize the importance of choosing words that do not harm others, acknowledging the difficulty in doing so but suggesting it may be the only way to find resolution and freedom from their struggles.
Line by Line Meaning
These tragedies of yours
The difficulties and hardships you have faced
Are nothing but a path unknown
They are challenges that you have encountered without prior knowledge or understanding
An abeyance that's grown
A period of suspension or pause that has extended over time
And that will soon overflow
And will soon become overwhelming and unmanageable
I know you're getting cold
I understand that you are becoming distant and detached
But won't you hang on for us all?
But please hold on for the sake of everyone around you
Just like I've seen a thaw
Just like I have witnessed a gradual melting or warming up
You'll come alive and come back home
You will regain your vitality and return to a place of belonging
Hold on now
Stay strong and persevere
Brother you've been here before
My friend, you have experienced similar hardships in the past
When you were lost and good as gone
When you felt directionless and on the brink of disappearance
When you were bleeding on your own
When you were hurting and dealing with your pain alone
But you survived, now - don't we all?
But you made it through, and we all have our own battles to overcome
We clench our teeth and make it home
We grit our teeth and find our way back to a place of comfort and familiarity
This revelry of yours
The joy and celebration you are experiencing
Is nothing but what you've longed for
Is everything you have desired and yearned for
You've learned to dance alone
You have learned how to find happiness and fulfillment on your own
Now the whole world's come to rejoice
Now, everyone around you celebrates and finds joy in your presence
It greets you in meadows
Happiness and contentment welcome you in peaceful and beautiful surroundings
It knows what only you two know
It understands the unique experiences and emotions that only you and another person share
All living's now your home
Every aspect of life feels like home to you
You'll know a love that you've not known
You will experience a love that you have never encountered before
Make sure your words go through your heart before they go through your mouth
Before you speak, ensure that your words are sincere and genuine
Make sure they're kind more than they're loud
Make sure your words convey kindness rather than being overpoweringly loud
Make sure they're not another knife
Make sure your words do not cause harm or act as a weapon
I know it's impossible at times
I understand that it can be challenging at times
But it may just be our only way out
But practicing compassionate and considerate communication may be the only way to resolve our difficulties
