Come Home
IAM{X} Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I let you go
I saw the sings
You were so cold
I was unkind
You turned my lies
Into your lust
Now I just can’t disguise
My failure to forget this stuff, because

Our little world is only big enough for us

Come home
I’ve lost the will to go on alone
Come home
I don’t know what you want, but I know that you need to be loved

The desert skies
Will cry for us
In the land of forgotten smiles
Die our forgotten trust
The old desires
Burned in the sunshine and
All the years of our tender disunion
And I will always be here to hear you in the place where you belong

Come home
I’ve lost the will to go on alone




Come home
I don’t know what you want, but I know that you need to be loved

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of IAM{X}'s song "Come Home" depict the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer confesses that he was unkind to his partner, and that he let her go even when he knew she was cold towards him. He admits that he failed to forget the past and move on from their disunion. The chorus invites his partner to come back home, as he has lost the will to go on alone and knows that she needs to be loved. The song incorporates elements of sadness, regret and vulnerability as the singer accepts his faults and wishes for a resolution to his loneliness.


The lyrics are reflective of the emotional turmoil that many people experience after the end of a relationship. The sombre tone and the repetition of the phrase "Come home" emphasise the singer's desire for a second chance. The desert skies crying for them symbolises their lost love, and the forgotten smiles emphasises how their relationship has become a distant memory. The singer refers to himself as being the place where his partner belongs; he wants nothing more than to be with her again.


Line by Line Meaning

I let you go
I released you from my grasp


I saw the signs
I recognized the indications of your departure


You were so cold
Your demeanor was distant and unaffectionate


I was unkind
I behaved in a manner that lacked kindness


You turned my lies into your lust
You allowed my deceitfulness to fuel your desires


Now I just can’t disguise my failure to forget this stuff, because
I am unable to conceal my inability to move on from this situation


Our little world is only big enough for us
Our relationship is exclusive and intimate


Come home
Return to the place where you belong


I’ve lost the will to go on alone
I am lacking the motivation to continue by myself


I don’t know what you want, but I know that you need to be loved
I may not understand your thoughts, but I recognize that you require affection


The desert skies will cry for us
Nature will empathize with our sorrow


In the land of forgotten smiles die our forgotten trust
Our relationship, characterized by contentment, has deteriorated to a state of mistrust


The old desires burned in the sunshine and all the years of our tender disunion
Our past passions have faded, and our separation has been painful


And I will always be here to hear you in the place where you belong
I will remain by your side in the location where we thrive

He split himself into multiple beings; kind of like Dr. Manhattan. That should be obvious!
