Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The sky is still but it's not what they saw
I have to get Home to my heart
I lost it long ago and I need a fresh new start
(Chorus)
Home
Just take me Home
Just take me Home
I'm leaving la la la land
Where all the castles are made out of sand
I have to get back to my pond
My city always sleeps without a sound
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Have you ever seen the sun in the summer not setting?
Oh we will dance all night
If you wanna come along you will never forget it
Oh we will save the light
Bird singing la la la la
I guess you have leave to know just what you got
I have to get Home to my heart
I lost it long ago and I need a fresh new to start
(Chorus)
Oh we will save the light
Just let me come back, come back Home
The lyrics of "Home" by Marion Raven feat. Lisa Miskovsky seem to talk about a sense of being lost and the need to find one's way back home. The first two lines paint a picture of peaceful surroundings, but it's not what the singer saw or experienced. The metaphorical use of the words "Home" and "heart" in the next lines suggest that the singer has lost touch with what matters the most to her and she yearns for a fresh start. The repetitiveness of the chorus reinforces this longing to go back to a safe and familiar place.
The next few lines seem to talk about the transient nature of fancy places that people build in their minds. The reference to "castles made out of sand" echoes the idea that nothing is permanent, and the search for something solid and real is what propels the singer to go back to her roots. The mention of "my pond" and the "city that sleeps without a sound" create a sense of being grounded and belongingness.
The bridge has a sense of urgency and adventure. There is an invitation to seek out something extraordinary and experience it with abandon. The imagery of the sun not setting, dancing all night, and saving the light seem to suggest living in the moment and savoring it. The final refrain of "Just let me come back, come back Home" reiterates the need to find a way to reconnect with oneself.
Overall, "Home" is a song that reflects the universal human desire to find meaning and purpose in life. By using metaphors and imagery that evoke nostalgia and longing, the singers convey a message that reverberates with listeners who have experienced a similar feeling of being lost or disconnected.
