Passenger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say home is where the heart is
but my heart is wild and free
So am I homeless
Or just heartless?
Did I start this?
Did it start me?

They say fear is for the brave
For cowards never stare it in the eye
So am I fearless to be fearful
Does it take courage to learn how to cry

So many winding roads
So many miles to go
and oh..

Oh they say love is for the loving
Without love maybe nothing is real
So am I loveless or do I just love less

Oh since love left
I have nothing left to fear

So many winding roads
So many miles to go

When I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall
who runs down from the hillside to the sea
when I start feeling that it's gone too far
I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they're staring back at me

oh when I start feeling sick of it all
It helps to remember I'm a brick in a wall
who runs down from the hillside to the sea
when I start feeling that it's gone too far




I lie on my back and stare up at the stars
I wonder if they're staring back at me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Passenger's song "Home" delve into the themes of identity, belonging, fear, and love. The opening lines question the notion of home and its association with the heart. The singer ponders whether their restless and free-spirited nature makes them homeless or heartless. In essence, these lines explore the idea that home may not necessarily be a physical place, but rather a state of being or a feeling of connection.


The second verse delves into the concept of fear and bravery. It highlights the paradox that sometimes it takes courage to confront and express fear, suggesting that fearlessness may actually stem from acknowledging and embracing one's vulnerability. This introspection links back to the question posed at the beginning, challenging the idea that being fearless means not experiencing fear.


The chorus explores the profound impact of love. It suggests that without love, life may feel empty or lacking in authenticity. The singer questions whether they are loveless or if they simply struggle to express their love fully. The lyrics then shift to reflect on the aftermath of losing love, stating that once love has left, there is nothing left to fear. This may imply that the pain of losing love is so intense that it diminishes other fears in comparison.


The final verse brings together the themes of feeling overwhelmed and finding solace in nature. The singer expresses moments of exhaustion and disillusionment, but also finds comfort in the realization that they are just a small part of a greater whole. The imagery of lying on their back and staring at the stars prompts introspection about the vastness of the universe and whether there is a connection between the singer and the stars.
