-Role models as Johnny Cash, Steve Earle, Rolling Stones, Guns N´Roses and Social Distortion has inspired me to write music I always longed for to record and perform live.
-My vision is that Homeland will be a living project where genres are mixed depending on the contribution of musicians, guests or friends.
Leaving Home
Nicke Borg Homeland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stand beside
And think you know me
I am waisting my time
I pray to god you free me
And come to see me
I have mountains to climb
And i'm leaving home
No matter why 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 things falling behind
How many can faze me
And still amaze me
I'm disarming my mind
I am looking i'm not loosing what i found (Leaving home)
No matter why 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
(solo)
I am looking i'm not loosing what i found (Leaving home)
No matter why 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 lyrics of Nicke Borg Homeland's song "Leaving Home" have a deep meaning that can be interpreted in different ways. The opening lines "You can't stand beside and think you know me" suggest that the singer is struggling to communicate with someone who thinks they understand them but they really don't. The lines "I am wasting my time, I pray to God you free me and come to see me, I have mountains to climb" can be interpreted as the singer looking for independence and trying to break free from someone who is holding them back. The phrase "mountains to climb" also demonstrates their determination to succeed despite the challenges.
The chorus "I am looking, I'm not losing what I found, no matter why 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" conveys the message that the singer is aware of their own goals and that they will not lose sight of them, despite what others may think. The lyrics show that they are willing to take risks and make sacrifices, in order to pursue their dreams.
The final lines of the song, "But I'm coming home for good" suggest that the singer is returning home after achieving their goals, implying that leaving home was necessary for their personal growth and development.
