Feels Like Home
No Use For A Name 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
of every thing
And keep on living like it's yesterday
The lyrics of "Feels Like Home" by No Use For A Name convey a sense of longing and reminiscence for someone who has passed away. The verses reflect a feeling of being unable to communicate with the person anymore, but still holding onto their memory in the mind. The lines "Something tells me that you are free again, In a place that feels like home" convey the sense that the person who has passed away may be at peace in another realm. The lyrics also express the idea that memories are difficult to let go of, and we often hold onto them as a means of preserving something that has been lost.
The song can be interpreted as a reflection on grief and the process of moving on after the loss of a loved one. The singer expresses a sense of confusion and difficulty in understanding why people can let go of things so easily and move on with their lives without dwelling on the past. The repetition of the phrase "It feels like home" also highlights the idea that home is not just a physical place, but a feeling that we carry with us wherever we go.
Line by Line Meaning
It's too late to talk to you
The opportunity to communicate has passed and cannot be retrieved
And it's too soon to say good-bye
The timing to bid farewell is inconvenient and feels premature
Listen where ever you may be
Requesting attention from the person, regardless of their physical location
You still live inside my mind
Thoughts and memories of the person are still vivid and present
Something tells me that you are free again
Intuition suggests that the person is in a liberated and peaceful state
In a place that feels like home
This state is reminiscent of a familiar and comforting environment
It's never easy to understand
Comprehending and reconciling with the past is often challenging
Why memories hold our hand
Recollections of the past can have an emotional grip on us
But people let go
Despite the emotional baggage, people are capable of moving on and relinquishing attachments

Lyrics:
- Feels Like Home -
It's too late to talk to you
And it's too soon to say goodbye
Listen wherever you may be
You still live inside my mind
Something tells me that you are free again
In a place that feels like home
It's never easy to understand
Why memories hold our hand
But people let go
- International You Day -
I'm sorry that it took so long to write this song
But I gave up
You see, one million words can't describe how it feels
To know your love
Where did I go wrong?
I should have told you from the start
That I'm closer than you think when we're apart
Nothing that I've tried is as simple as this line
But without you, my life is incomplete
My days are absolutely grey
And so I try, let your heart know for sure
That I have so much more to tell you every single day
I swear, I'm giving up my inside to the one
That I adore
I know this world is big enough for you and I
But I'll give you more
I'm coming home today
To wipe the tear drop from your eyes
I'm totally enamoured by your life
Nothing that I've done has ever been for one
But without you, my life is incomplete
My days are absolutely grey
And so I try, let your heart know for sure
That I have so much more to tell you every single day
My life is incomplete
My rights are absolutely wrong
So wake me up, before you leave today
Something I need to say, 'cause there'll be nothing when you're gone

Rest in peace Tony. You will be missed and can never be replaced or replicated. Punk lost a great one when we lost you.

uhhh... When/why did he die?
Greg Weiland
lakeshoresubtleties in 2012. Says he died in his sleep so most likely drugs played a part. A 42 year old usually doesn't randomly die in his sleep unless something else was going on.
Ipar
lakeshoresubtleties I read something about he was taking painkiller for the backache and mixing with alcohol...Look for Deborah Remus post here http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?t=3332231
