Feels Like Home
No Use Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it's too soon to say good-bye
Listen where ever you may be
You still live inside my mind
Something tells me that you are free again
In a place that feels like home
Why memories hold our hand
But people let go
The lyrics to No Use's song Feels like home convey a message of heartbreak and longing. The first two lines illustrate the difficulty of reconciling with a loved one when it's already too late or too early. The third line, "listen wherever you may be," is a plea for the departed's attention, a way of saying that they may have left but they are still present in the singer's mind. The final line, "you still live inside my mind," is a statement of possession – the singer still holds onto the memories and thoughts of his or her love.
The chorus speaks of a possible release from the pain, suggesting that the departed may have found solace in a new place – perhaps even death. "Something tells me that you are free again, in a place that feels like home" implies a sense of comfort and familiarity that the singer associates with the afterlife. This idea is further emphasized by the use of the word "again," suggesting that the departed was once free in life, but is now finally able to find that freedom again.
The final lines of the chorus provide an explanation for the power of memories and the difficulty of letting go. The line "it's never easy to understand why memories hold our hand" suggests that memories are not simply random events but are attached to a deeper meaning that holds us to the past. Finally, the line "but people let go" is a devastating acceptance that in the end, no matter how much we hold onto memories and loved ones, we must ultimately let go and move on.
