Homesafe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
that I could never follow you in hopes that you'd turn out better
'cause that's where you wanted to go.
You can run from from all the voices
and faces you know
'cause I can't find the words
to put an end to this conversation
'cause what you say always hurts.
Why won't you follow me down this open road?
It can take us to new places we've never been before.
You can leave it up to me. I'll just go and you can stay
here,
alone.
'Cause i'm falling over laces that I couldn't tie
and filling the empty spaces in all of your lies.
The void that you had left me
prevented me from reaching
the heights,
the ones you said we'd fly up to together then.
I guess that was hopeless.
Go find you place.
Or would you rather just go and follow?
Or make something of yourself?
Take a look around
and find your place in everything.
You know that i'm not
like the other ones.
You turned me to stone
but you can't break me.
The opening verse of "Placement" by Homesafe reflects on a toxic relationship and the desire to distance oneself from it. The lyrics express the sentiment that the singer recognizes that they cannot follow the other person in the hopes of improving their situation, as they see that person's path as unhealthy. The second line specifically states that "that's where you wanted to go", which implies that this person is knowingly making poor choices. The chorus then flips the narrative and asks the other person to follow the singer down a new path, one that could lead them to new experiences. However, the singer also accepts that they may have to go alone, as they struggle to find their footing ("falling over laces that I couldn't tie") and deal with the other person's lies.
The second verse of the song delves deeper into the effects of the toxic relationship. The other person has left the singer with a "void" that they cannot seem to fill, despite trying to dispel the lies that were told to them. The singer acknowledges that they thought they could have reached great heights with this person, but now sees that such feelings were "hopeless". The bridge then urges the other person to "find your place", and provides them with options: follow or make something of yourself. The song concludes with the singer stating that they are not like the others who the other person has affected, and that they cannot be broken.
