Overall Meaning

In "Feels Like Home" by Mia, the artist expresses a desire to break free from the repetitive patterns and expectations imposed by society. The opening lines reflect a feeling of stagnation and frustration, as the singer describes the monotonous cycle of life that feels like it's all repeating itself. They mention running down hills, a metaphor for trying to escape their current circumstances, attempting to cheat themselves out of the predictable and mundane. However, the singer realizes that this approach doesn't work and emphasizes the need to work hard to achieve their goals and desires.


The second verse delves into the theme of authenticity and individuality. The singer criticizes someone who is trying to act cool and tough, warning them that it won't lead to success or fulfillment. In contrast, they embrace their own uniqueness and journey of self-discovery.

The chorus reinforces the rejection of imitating others. The singer asserts that they don't want to be like the person they are addressing, but rather strive to be their authentic selves. They express a strong determination to make their own path and find their genuine identity. The repeated request for peace suggests a longing for harmony both within themselves and their surroundings, perhaps indicating a desire to find balance in a world full of expectations and limitations.


The final verse introduces the advice given by the singer's mother. The lyrics imply that the singer's mother encourages them to pursue their dreams and be true to themselves, emphasizing the importance of both winning and finding personal fulfillment in whatever they do. The phrase "win some and lose none" encapsulates the idea of staying true to oneself and not compromising personal values even in the face of challenges or setbacks.
