After the Backstreet Boys went on a hiatus allowing its members to pursue solo careers or just take an time off, he released his solo album "Now or Never", featuring songs such as "Help Me" and "My Confession" which are more rock oriented than the material of the Backstreet Boys. His first solo effort was released around the same time as Justin Timberlake's, which allowed the press to create an artificial competition between them, similar to the rivalry between their respective boygroups (Backstreet Boys and N'SYNC).
Dated stars such as hotel heiress Paris Hilton and the singer Willa Ford. Plays the guitar and the drums and has also pursued a career as an actor, making an appearance in the movie "The Hollow".
In 2005 the Backstreet Boys released their "comeback" album "Never Gone" with the headliner single "Incomplete" and embarked on a world tour.
During 2006 he could be seen in the reality show "House of Carters", along with his brother and sisters; whilst recording another cd with the Backstreet Boys, bound to be released in 2007.
Songfacts reports that Nick Carter began work on his second solo album in 2003, but the recordings were aborted when the Backstreet Boys returned to the studio. He eventually completed I'm Taking Off in 2010 and released the record on February 2, 2011 in Japan and May 24, 2011 in the USA.
Carter and the rest of the Backstreet Boys released a new album, In A World Like this, which included Kevin Richardson for the first time in six years.
Heart Without a Home
Nick Carter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're like candy to my eyes
Like a movie that you've seen
But you gotta watch just one more time
But that smile you're wearing
It's a beautiful disguise
It's just something you put on to hide the emptiness inside
And you seem so lonely
But you don't have to anymore..
[chorus]
If you're a heart without a home
Rebel without a cause
If you feel as though
You're always stranded on the shore
Like a thief in the night
Let me steal your heart away
Baby if for reasons, what you're looking for
I'll be yours
I'll be yours
I'll be a new sensation
One you never had before
I got a feeling if I gave you some
You'd probably want some more
Did you know that baby
You're the bluebird in my sky
I only wanna make you happy cause
I love to see you fly
And if you feel lonely
You don't have to anymore
[chorus]
I'll be yours, I'll be yours
I'll be the raft in the tide
I'll be yours
I'll be the truth in the light
And what's more
When no one opens the door
I'll be the hope that you're looking for
[chorus]
I'll be yours...
The opening lines of Nick Carter's 'Heart Without a Home' talk about how he loves to watch this woman who is like candy to his eyes, someone he can't help but keep looking at. Carter compares the woman to a movie that you keep watching because you're invested in it. However, the smile she's wearing is simply a facade, a beautiful disguise, to hide the emptiness that she feels inside. Carter points out that she seems lonely, but he wants to let her know that she doesn't have to feel that way anymore; he'll be there for her.
The chorus is an affirmation of Carter's promises to the woman. He tells her that he'll be there for her if she's a heart without a home, a rebel without a cause, or someone who always feels stranded on the shore. Carter wants to steal her heart away like a thief in the night and promises to be her new sensation, unlike anything she's ever experienced before. He assures her that she's the bluebird in his sky and that he only wants to make her happy.
The final verse of the song reiterates all of the promises made in the chorus. Carter wants to be the raft in the tide, the truth in the light. He wants to be the hope she's looking for when no one else opens the door. In the end, the message of the song is that Carter is willing to be whatever this woman needs him to be, as long as she's willing to be his. The song is a beautiful promise of love and commitment, a reminder that no matter how lonely we might feel at times, there's always somebody out there who will be there for us.
