No Place Like Home
Kid Courageous Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everywhere I go
Of sydney streets and family
I just realized there's no place like home
going away
Wish I could say
There's no place like home
I don't no what to do
I don't no what to say
Holding back to
Hold back maybe
Something never change
something never change
Walking down my yellow brick road
The song No Place Like Home by Kid Courageous is an emotional reflection of the feeling of homesickness experienced by a person who has been away from home for a long time. The opening of the song talks about a photograph that the person takes with them everywhere they go, of the Sydney streets and their family. This photograph serves as a constant reminder of where they come from and the life they left behind. The realization that there is truly no place like home hits the person as they continue on their journey away from home. The chorus repeats the sentiment that they wish they could say there's no place like home, but the reality is that they are far from it and unsure of how to cope.
As the song progresses, the person expresses their feelings of being lost and uncertain about their future. They don't know what to do or say, and they find themselves holding back. The line "something never change" suggests that even though they are in a new place and experiencing new things, some things stay the same. This idea is reinforced in the last line of the song where the person talks about walking down their yellow brick road. It's a reference to The Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy's yellow brick road takes her on a journey to find her way home.
Overall, the song is a poignant reminder of the importance of home and the difficulty of leaving it behind. It captures the feelings of homesickness and the struggle to find one's place in a new environment. The use of the photograph and the yellow brick road serves as powerful metaphors for the journey and the longing for home.

Walking down my yellow brick road
