Nicke Borg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stand beside me
And think you know me
I am waisting my time
I pray, to cut you free of me
And come to see me
I have mountains to climb
And I'm leaving home
I am looking, I'm not loosing what I found
No matter what you think I'll always be around
To be near you, I can hear you, I'm not on my own
So I'm leaving home
Some
Say that he changed me
Or that he made me
See this falling behind
How many can face me
And still amaze me
I'm disarming my mind
And I'm leaving home
I am looking, I'm not loosing what I found
No matter what you think I'll always be around
To be near you, I can hear you, I'm not on my own
So I'm leaving home
Certain things I found inside
Making a rebell is a long and stormy ride
And I'm leaving home
I am looking, I'm not loosing what I found (leaving home)
No matter what you think I'll always be around
To be near you, I can hear you, I'm not on my own
To be near you, I can hear you, I'm not on my own
So I'm leaving home
But I'm coming home for good
The song "Leaving Home" by Nicke Borg is about his decision to depart from his old life and leave home to find a new path. He expresses his frustration with those around him who think they know him and want to hold him back. He acknowledges that leaving may be difficult and there may be those who criticize him for changing, but he is determined to find his own way and follow his dreams. He speaks about disarming his mind and facing the challenges ahead, including the stormy ride that may come with being a rebellious person. Despite leaving, he reassures that he will always come back home for good.
The lyrics suggest that Nicke Borg felt constrained and misunderstood in his old life, and felt the need to break free to find his own identity and pursue his passions. He may have felt suffocated by those around him who did not understand his ambitions and who did not see the same potential in him that he saw in himself. By leaving, he hopes to find a new perspective and gain the freedom to grow as a person.
