Smaller Home
Margaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going back
In this bedroom, something left behind
Out of time
I′d like to think about the things that
Changed since when I was last home
Is it smaller now?
And did you think about the things that
Does it even matter?
Will you be the same?
I'm on my way
I′m moving every day
Can't stay an age
Speak like I've gone away
Looking for a story
Of a kid I′m sinking in
Older, Stronger, Wiser
Think I am, I think I am
Stuck in edges of a chapter
One foot holding on to
After, and all it complicates
Dreaming something that is clear and
Time takes longer than you think, dear
Did you want this still the same?
I′m on my way
I'm moving every day
I′m on my way
I'm moving every day
Can′t stay an age
Can't stay an age
Speak like I′ve gone away
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
Ahhhh...
The song "Smaller Home" by Margaux is a deeply reflective and introspective piece that explores the passage of time and how it changes both people and places. The opening lines describe the act of crossing over and going back in time, possibly revisiting a childhood home or a past memory. The bedroom mentioned in the second line contains something left behind - perhaps a physical object or a feeling that still lingers despite the passing of time.
The chorus asks a series of poignant questions, such as whether the home and surroundings have become smaller or whether the people who inhabit them have changed. The singer also wonders whether the changes in her own life matter, and whether the people from her past will remain the same. The overall tone is one of uncertainty and contemplation, as the singer comes to terms with the inevitability of aging and growth.
The final lines of the song - "time takes longer than you think" - underscores the theme of the passage of time, while the repetition of "Ahhhh" at the end provides a sense of closure and acceptance. The haunting melody and the introspective lyrics make "Smaller Home" a powerful and moving song that will resonate with anyone who has experienced the bittersweet feeling of revisiting the past.
