Feels Like Home
Pangolin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So Here I Hold
Another empty page from
The calendar we made ourselves
Of things we'd like to do
And places that we'd like to see
But all that's here are squares and numbers
Can't stop now, we've almost made it
How many times can we keep saying that
Maybe tomorrow will be the day it all starts rollin' back our way
But this time
It's almost over
You sounded so sure
That it's almost over
Yeah, just like a million times before
It's boils down
To our own fear of failing
The pros and cons we wrote ourselves
Just fill these lists
And never end up anywhere
Except in the bottom of trashcans
Can't stop now, we've almost made it
How many times can we keep saying that
Maybe tomorrow will be the day it all starts rollin' back our way
But this time
It's almost over
You sounded so sure
That it's almost over
Yeah, just like a million times before
Now somehow this man
Who is made out of glass
Is expected to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders again
But he'll carry it proud
As he crumbles and cracks
He knows
There is always a path harder traveled
A beckoning of hope from far away
A call to bring about our struggles and lay them down to rest
For once
This is the start of something better
I can finally see it was all worth it
Clawed our way back from hell
Still can't believe we actually made it out alive
Now that we're here we'll never go back
No matter what it takes
I'd rather die right here, right now like this than
Waste another day
It's finally over
You've never sounded so sure
That it's finally over




And we can find our light once more
Just like a million times before

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Pangolin's song "Feels Like Home" depict a sense of frustration and disappointment in the pursuit of dreams and aspirations. The opening lines describe an empty page on a calendar that was intended to be filled with exciting adventures and experiences. However, all that remains are squares and numbers, indicating a lack of accomplishment or progress. The repetition of the phrase "Can't stop now, we've almost made it" suggests a continuous cycle of hope and anticipation, which may have been shattered multiple times before.


The lyrics also touch upon the fear of failure and the tendency to make endless lists of pros and cons that ultimately lead nowhere. The mention of these lists ending up in the bottom of trashcans implies a sense of wasted effort and unrealized potential. Yet, amidst the despair, there is a glimmer of resilience. The line "Now somehow this man who is made out of glass is expected to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders again" portrays a fragile individual being burdened with immense responsibilities. However, despite the cracks and crumbling, there is a recognition of the existence of a harder, more rewarding path.


The final verses convey a sense of triumph and redemption. The singer acknowledges the struggles endured and the journey back from adversity. The realization that "we actually made it out alive" signifies a sense of gratitude and appreciation for the progress made. The determination to never go back and the willingness to face any challenge demonstrate a newfound strength and conviction. The song ends on a note of hope, stating that it's finally over and that the light can be found once more, emphasizing a sense of renewal and a desire to move forward.


Line by Line Meaning

So Here I Hold
In this moment, I find myself reflecting and considering


Another empty page from
Yet another blank sheet of paper taken from


The calendar we made ourselves
The self-made schedule we crafted


Of things we'd like to do
Containing the aspirations and desires we wished to fulfill


And places that we'd like to see
Including the destinations we longed to visit


But all that's here are squares and numbers
However, what remains are simply empty boxes and numerical figures


Can't stop now, we've almost made it
We cannot halt our progress, as we are approaching our goal


How many times can we keep saying that
How often can we continue expressing the same sentiment


Maybe tomorrow will be the day it all starts rollin' back our way
Perhaps tomorrow will mark the beginning of the tides turning in our favor


But this time
However, on this occasion


It's almost over
Our journey is nearing its end


You sounded so sure
Your confidence was evident


That it's almost over
Claiming that the conclusion is imminent


Yeah, just like a million times before
Similar to countless previous instances


It's boils down
Ultimately, it can be attributed


To our own fear of failing
To our personal anxieties surrounding failing


The pros and cons we wrote ourselves
The arguments in favor and against, authored by our own hands


Just fill these lists
Mere checkmarks filling these lists


And never end up anywhere
Yet somehow, we never reach any destination


Except in the bottom of trashcans
Except discarded and forgotten, in the depths of trash receptacles


Now somehow this man
Now, inexplicably, this individual


Who is made out of glass
Characterized by fragility, like a glass sculpture


Is expected to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders again
Is once again burdened with carrying the immense weight of the world


But he'll carry it proud
Nevertheless, he will bear it with pride


As he crumbles and cracks
Even as he collapses and fractures


He knows
He understands and recognizes


There is always a path harder traveled
There is consistently a more challenging path to embark upon


A beckoning of hope from far away
A distant call of optimism and promise


A call to bring about our struggles and lay them down to rest
An invitation to confront and alleviate our hardships


For once
Just this time


This is the start of something better
The beginning of a superior and improved journey


I can finally see it was all worth it
I can now perceive that it was all worthwhile


Clawed our way back from hell
Fought and struggled fiercely to return from a state of torment


Still can't believe we actually made it out alive
Still overwhelmed by the fact that we managed to survive


Now that we're here we'll never go back
Now that we have arrived, we shall never retreat


No matter what it takes
Irrespective of the necessary efforts


I'd rather die right here, right now like this than
I would prefer to perish in this moment, in this manner, than


Waste another day
Squander any more time


It's finally over
The ordeal has ultimately concluded


You've never sounded so sure
You have never expressed such conviction


That it's finally over
Declaring emphatically that it has indeed reached its conclusion


And we can find our light once more
And we can rediscover our inner radiance


Just like a million times before
Similar to countless previous instances
