Anywhere But Home
Magica Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I'm better off dead, I'm jaded
I'm cold and bitter and mad
From all that was said
And the light just faded
There is nothing left for me
To go back to, so I will leave
And I'll go anywhere believe me
I will try everywhere
You'll find me anywhere
Anywhere but home
And I'll be anywhere believe me
I will hide everywhere
You'll find me anywhere
Anywhere but home
Anywhere but home
Waiting for the break of dawn
Hoping the pain will be gone... I'm aching
Tasting the venom I grow
I'm looking for a new place to go
While my hands are shaking
There is nothing left for me
To go back to, so I will leave
And never look back
And I'll go anywhere believe me
I will try everywhere
You'll find me anywhere
Anywhere but home
And I'll be anywhere believe me
I will hide everywhere
You'll find me anywhere
Anywhere but home
Anywhere but home
There is nothing left for me
To go back to, so I will leave
And never look back
And I'll go anywhere believe me
I will try everywhere
You'll find me anywhere
Anywhere but home
And I'll be anywhere believe me
I will hide everywhere
You'll find me anywhere
Anywhere but home
Anywhere but home

Line by Line Meaning
Repeating a song in my head
I can't escape my thoughts, they keep replaying like a broken record
Maybe I'm better off dead, I'm jaded
I feel so worn out and disillusioned, maybe death would be easier
I'm cold and bitter and mad
My emotions are frozen and I'm consumed by anger
From all that was said
The hurtful words and actions of others have wounded me deeply
And the light just faded
The hope and happiness I once felt have disappeared
There is nothing left for me
I have nothing left to hold onto or return to
To go back to, so I will leave
I must leave this place behind and start anew
And never look back
I won't dwell on the past or the pain it brought
And I'll go anywhere believe me
I'm searching for a new beginning and adventure
I will try everywhere
I'm determined to find happiness, no matter where I go
You'll find me anywhere
I'm open to exploring all possibilities and opportunities
Anywhere but home
I don't want to return to the place or people that caused me pain
And I'll be anywhere believe me
I'm willing to take risks and make changes to find joy
I will hide everywhere
I may feel vulnerable and scared, but I won't give up
You'll find me anywhere
I won't limit myself to one location or mindset
Anywhere but home

Waiting for the break of dawn
I'm hopeful that a new day will bring positivity and change

While my hands are shaking
