A Place Called Home
Ignite Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
lookin' over a place called home,
I couldn't stay,
leaves have fallen,
wind keeps blowin' colder,
winter's on its way,
my bags are packed,
the car is waitin',
you left alone,
once again my life sweet darling,
I've made my bed,
it's time to roam
Long live freedom where I come from,
place that I call home
Standin' outside,
sayin' goodbye,
it tears me up to go
Thousand miles oceans between us,
I think about her everyday,
this plane rides long,
these wheels keep rollin',
I call to see if she's OK,
it's dark and lonely all by herself,
it tears me up to walk away,
this time my sweet Nagyi darling I pray I'll see you once again
Long live freedom where I come from,
place that I call home
Standin' outside,
saying goodbye,
it tears me up to go
Kossuth Lajos azt üzente,
Elfogyott a regimentje
De ha mégegyszer azt üzeni,
Mindnyájunknak el kell menni,
Éljen a magyar szabadság!
Éljen a haza!
Esik es? karikára,
Kossuth Lajos kalapjára
Éljen a magyarság!
A magyar szabadság!
Éljen a haza!
Long live freedom where I come from,
place that I call home
Standin' outside,
sayin' goodbye,
it tears me up to go
Because I feel so scared when you're all alone
This plane rides long and I miss my home
I feel so scared when you're all alone
These wheels keep rollin' on and on, ohoh
The lyrics of Ignite's song "A Place Called Home" express a bittersweet feeling of leaving one's home and loved ones behind and embarking on a journey. The opening lines set the scene of the singer standing outside, looking over their place of abode, and realizing they couldn't stay any longer. The impending winter with its fallen leaves and cold wind foreshadows the end of a chapter in the singer's life. They have their bags packed, the car and the plane are waiting, but the fear of leaving their significant other behind weighs heavily on them. The singer acknowledges that they have made their bed and it's time to leave, but there is a hint of regret and sadness.
The second verse starts with the singer being miles away from home and thinking about their partner every day. They feel a deep sense of longing, wondering whether their significant other is okay. The lonely plane ride and the continuous moving of the wheels on the ground are symbolic of the constant motion of life without them being able to settle down. The song ends with a homage to the Hungarian War of Independence in 1848, with the lyrics stating "Long live freedom where I come from, place that I call home," a chant for freedom and patriotism.
Overall, "A Place Called Home" is a moving song that explores themes of love, longing, fear, and patriotism. It portrays the difficulty of leaving behind loved ones and the fear of the unknown, even with the promise of new horizons and adventures.

I hope to see you again, my dear grandmother
Kossuth Lajos azt üzente,
Lajos Kossuth sent a message
Elfogyott a regimentje
His troops have run out
De ha mégegyszer azt üzeni,
But if he sends the message again
Mindnyájunknak el kell menni,
We all have to leave
Éljen a magyar szabadság!
Long live Hungarian freedom!
Éljen a haza!
Long live the homeland!
Esik es? karikára,
It's raining, pouring
Kossuth Lajos kalapjára
On Lajos Kossuth's hat
Éljen a magyarság!
Long live the Hungarian people!
A magyar szabadság!
Hungarian freedom!
Long live freedom where I come from,
Praising freedom in my homeland
place that I call home
The place I consider home
Standin' outside,
Standing outside the place I call home
sayin' goodbye,
Saying farewell
it tears me up to go
It hurts to leave
Because I feel so scared when you're all alone
Because I'm afraid of leaving you alone
This plane rides long and I miss my home
I feel homesick during the long flight
These wheels keep rollin' on and on, ohoh
The wheels keep turning as I leave
