Machine Gun Kelly Lyrics

A place where I can go
Looking for a safe haven or a place to feel secure and comfortable.

To take this off my shoulders
To get some relief or release from the burdens and pressures of life.

Someone take me home
Asking for companionship or urging others to take him to a place of comfort and belonging.

Look, I didn't power through the struggle just to let a little trouble
The hard work was done to overcome life's obstacles even if it means enduring more hardships.

Knock me out of my position and interrupt the vision
Referring to overcoming the difficulties and perseverance under adversity before getting sidetracked by the new and forthcoming problems that block his goals.

After everything I witnessed, after all of these decisions
Taking into account many life-changing experiences and lots of contemplation that brings him where he is today.

All these miles, feet, inches, they can't add up to the distance
Stresses the vast journey he has taken and distances he had to cross that cannot be simply measured by physical measures.

that I have been through, just to get to
Enduring through all life's hardships to arrive at a destination.

A place where even if there's no closure, I'm still safe
The place of comfort and belonging mentioned earlier, regardless of the outcome.

I still ache from tryin' to keep pace
It takes a toll to constantly strive to be a better version of himself.

Somebody give me a sign, I'm startin' to lose faith
His faith is wavering, and he requires guidance to continue on his journey.

Now tell me, how did all my dreams turn to nightmares?
The hopes and aspirations turn out to be quite unpleasant and terrifying.

How did I lose it when I was right there?
Aspirations almost coming to fruition but ultimately slipping away at the end.

Now I'm so far that it feels like it's all gone to pieces
The distance of setback seems insurmountable, everything seems to be in shambles.

Tell me why the world never fights fair
The world is an unfair place, and it's a puzzle to discover why.

I'm tryna find
Conducting a search to come across or attain the sense of home.

Look, I've been through so much pain that it's hard to maintain
Endured so many hardships, he is having trouble keeping it together.

Any smile on my face 'cause there's madness on my brain
There's too much going on in his head to keep a happy demeanor, and it is wearing on his mental health.

So I gotta make it back, but my home ain't on the map
Insinuating that the sense of home he's looking for isn't necessarily tangible or on a map.

Gotta follow what I'm feeling to discover where it's at
An inner compass or 'gut feeling' will lead towards the eventual discovery of the location of the 'home' he is looking for.

I need the (memory)
Urging for memories that may help enlighten the path.

In case this fate is forever, just to be sure these last days are better
Realizing that life can be fleeting, needs to make the most of it in the final days.

And if I have any (enemies)
Even in the presence of adversaries, challenges will be confronted and conquered.

To give me the strength to look the devil in the face and make it home safe
Opposition will fuel the energy and determination necessary to win the fight and make it home.

I found no cure for the loneliness
Searching for relief from loneliness and isolation.

I found no cure for the sickness
Likely referring to mental illness for which he has not been able to find a cure.

Nothin' here feels like home
The current environment does not create a sense of home or belonging.

Crowded streets, but I'm all alone
Despite being in a busy area surrounded by individuals, still feels alone and isolated.
