House by the Sea
Moddi Lyrics

They say home is the place where your heart is
According to popular belief, home is where one feels emotionally connected

Then I am home now, though I am far away
Even though I am physically distant, I feel like I am back home

For so long I've let the forest guard it
I have left my home behind for a long time and entrusted it to the forest wilderness

And now it's begging me to stay
However, it seems like my home is calling out to me, pleading for me to return

And I'm trying my best to be tough
I am attempting to be resilient and not give in to my homesickness

To pretend I am strong and can siphon it off
I am acting as if I can easily suppress these emotions and move on

But I'm not who I wanted to be
Regardless of how hard I try to hide my true feelings, it's not the person I aspire to be

In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
I know where my true home is, it's by the ocean and that's where I feel like I belong

They say home is a place where you're needed
People say home is where you feel essential and unconditionally loved

Then I am home now, but I am leaving
Despite feeling needed and loved, I need to leave and go where my heart truly calls me

To feel my feet being kissed by the seaweed
I desire to immerse myself in the ocean's embrace and be one with it

And I will be silent and kiss it back
I will reciprocate the ocean's gentle embrace in silence and enjoy the moment

This is not who I want you to see
I don't want others to witness my vulnerability and emotional turmoil

It's just adding on weight to the darkness in me
Expressing these emotions just burdens me and adds to my inner darkness

And from the little I have understood
From what little I know, I believe that there is a solution to my problems

I believe that a house by the sea would do good
I think living by the sea would help me find peace and happiness

They say home is a place you can choose to be
People claim you can choose where you feel at home

And I've decided to carry home inside me
I have concluded that my true home is where my heart is, and I will carry it with me

So it's not really as if I am leaving
In a way, I'm not really leaving since my home is always with me

It's more like something pulling me
It's more like an irresistible attraction to go to the place where I truly belong

Because behind everything that I do
No matter what I do or where I go, I am always driven by one thing

I just want to forget, want to carry this through
I long to forget my troubles and forge ahead to where I feel content and fulfilled

Fill my lungs with the sweet summer air
I desire to breathe in fresh ocean air and take in the beauty of summertime

In my heart, in my mind I am already there
In my heart and mind, I have already arrived at my true home

Yeah behind everything that I do
Again, everything I do is motivated by this one urge to go back to where I belong

I just want to come home and lay down beside you
All I want is to return to my true home and be with my loved ones

And then I'll be who I wanted to be
Only by returning to my real home and being with the people I love, can I become the person I aspire to be

In my heart I belong in a house by the sea
Once again, I know in my heart that I truly belong by the ocean
