Resolve
Homesafe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll waste another two years thinking of where I want to go with my life.
The tradition your seeking is taking me down a path that's overcrowded and unappealing.
I'm not who you are.
You told me this isn't how you planned your life to be.
Is it because of me?
I won't be sorry for something i'm not changing.
I need a little resolve in my life.
Yours needs fixing.
I found my purpose through ambitious decisions while yours has been a mystery.
I've grown up to find out that you can't let your guard down.
You've gotta' stick to what is true -with that I don't mean you.
I swear I won't need you.
Given everything i've got, I still have nothing to show.
Will you ever understand where I want to go and where i've been?
You left me out just to hang and dry.
You never cared at all.
I always wondered why.




I need a little resolve in my life.
I'll always wonder why.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Homesafe's "Resolve" explore the uncertainty and ambiguity that can arise when following different paths in life. The singer of the song laments wasting two years of their life trying to figure out where they want to go, while feeling pressured to follow a traditional route that feels overcrowded and unappealing. The singer acknowledges that they are not the same as the person they are speaking to, and wonders if their differences have led to the other person's dissatisfaction with how their life has turned out. Regardless, the singer is not sorry for being true to themselves and making ambitious decisions to find their purpose.
The imagery of "needing a little resolve" implies that there is a sense of lacking firmness or certainty in the singer's life, which stands in contrast to the other person's need for "fixing." The line "You've gotta' stick to what is true -with that I don't mean you" reinforces this idea that the singer must go their own way and cannot follow someone else's plan or expectations. The final lines express a sense of isolation and longing for understanding, as the singer is left to wonder why they were excluded and if the other person will ever comprehend their journey.

Really solid. I like all there songs. My style. Early 2000’s emo punk. Great sound

@narutobroken

Incredible song, might be my favorite from them. The last minute is so passionate with the piano and then heavy guitars

@tmillgohawkeyes

Seriously incredible, ever since I heard of you guys in March I've been trying to spread the word. This is probably my favorite song!

@Cole-wo3nz

the beauty about these songs/albums specifically for me is that even though I listen to them over and over, each time i interpret the song differently and relate it to myself and whats going on in my life for that given moment. I always come back to this band when i just need to sit in the dark with my headphones in and close my eyes. excellent!

@Ephremjlm1

Finally got to see this band and hear this song live and it definitely hits home. don't sleep on these guys, they are as solid live as all of their albums.

@dandygilang6797
