Feels Like Home
Moxie Bliss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey LA, I flew away from L.A. time
Seventeen degrees below this morning
Seventeen degrees below its cold outside
What I'm trying to say is
This place is cold but it feels like home
This place is cold but it feels like home
Halfway between the snow and angels
Halfway between the pole and center line
Blue sky becomes the white horizon
Blue sky, the land of water like blue sky
What I'm trying to say is
This place is cold but it feels like home
What I'm trying to say is
This place is cold but it feels like home
Forty-Five degrees
Forty-Five degress they tell me
Forty-Five degrees
Forty-Five degrees you center me
What I'm trying to say is
This place is cold but it feels like home
What I'm trying to say is
This place is cold but it feels like home
Moxie Bliss's "Feels Like Home" is a song about Los Angeles and the contrast between its cold weather and the feeling of belonging it gives. The opening lines acknowledge that Los Angeles is a city full of important people, but the singer has chosen to fly away from it for a time being, perhaps to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The following lines emphasize the cold weather with a temperature of seventeen degrees below, contrasting the stereotypical image of sunny California. The well-crafted lyrics imply that the singer is still attached to the city, despite the hostile weather conditions. The following lines clarify this sentiment, stating that the place is cold, but it still feels like home.
The last two stanzas use metaphors to describe Los Angeles's location, with the line "Halfway between the snow and angels, halfway between the pole and center line" emphasizing the sense of the city being in the middle of all things. The blue sky becomes a "white horizon," while the land is "like blue sky," perhaps indicating that the landscape is vast and meets the sky seamlessly. The chorus repeats that the location is chilly, but it also feels like home, with the repeated line "What I'm trying to say is, this place is cold, but it feels like home."
Overall, Moxie Bliss's "Feels Like Home" is an insightful take on Los Angeles, a city that is often depicted as a haven of warm weather and sunshine. The song cleverly subverts this idyllic image by highlighting how cold the city can be but also how despite that, it still feels like home. This song is a beautiful ode to the sense of longing we all feel for certain places in the world.
