No Place Like Home
Scarecrow & Tinmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretending like the wizard to be better than I am
But the Father God above sent a twister shaped in love
To send a revelation of another world
And there's no...
Chorus
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
There's no place like home, no place like home
Intelligence is given to our straw-filled minds
And courage comes to aid us in the things we've left behind
And if the tin around our hearts seems hollow, here's the find
That the Maker of a tender heart provided our new mind
Chorus
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
Bridge
Let the longing for my journey be
The constant seeking for my true home
When time is swallowed into destiny
There's no place like home
Chorus x2
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
And there's no place like home
There's no place like home
The first verse of the song 'No Place Like Home' by Scarecrow & Tinmen, deals with the idea that sometimes people pretend to be better than they are. The song references the Wicked Witch of the West from the Wizard of Oz in this line, 'The wicked of the witch inhabits every man'. The metaphorical meaning behind the lyrics is that people often hide behind a facade that conceals their true character. The second line suggests that this pretence is not just limited to individuals but even the world at large. The lyrics suggest that despite their flaws, people should strive to be their best selves.
The second verse is about self-improvement, and how intellect and courage can help one move ahead in life. The metaphorical 'tin around our hearts' is a reference to the Tin Man character from The Wizard of Oz, whose heart was replaced with a tin one. The song suggests that despite the challenges and setbacks, we can grow and transform into better versions of ourselves.
The chorus refers to the idea of home being a place of safety, comfort, and belonging. The phrase 'And there's no place like home' is repeated several times throughout the song to drive home this point. The bridge is a contemplative passage that reflects on the idea of destiny and finding true home. The song ends with one final repetition of the chorus, reinforcing the idea of the importance of home.

The wicked of the witch inhabits every man
Everyone has a potential to do evil things
Pretending like the wizard to be better than I am
Acting as if we are superior to others
But the Father God above sent a twister shaped in love
God sent an event that will change our lives for the better
To send a revelation of another world
To show us a different perspective in life
And there's no place like home
There is no better place than where we truly belong
Intelligence is given to our straw-filled minds
Even those who seem simple-minded can be wise
And courage comes to aid us in the things weโve left behind
We can become brave through our past experiences
And if the tin around our hearts seems hollow, here's the find
If we feel empty inside, we can still find something to fill us up
That the Maker of a tender heart provided our new mind
God gave us a new way of thinking and feeling
Let the longing for my journey be
May my desire to succeed be my motivation
The constant seeking for my true home
My continuous search for a place where I belong
When time is swallowed into destiny
When the future becomes unclear
There's no place like home
Our true home is where we find peace and acceptance

Neil singing this in no place like home has to be one of his best performances, his voice and the power behind it makes me so emotional that this happened so long ago but we can all still remember something like no place like home that is long gone now was once and still holds up to be one of YouTubeโs OG amazing shorts.

Such a strange song. The tone and feeling is so melancholic, yet there's no direct sadness to be dissected. In a sense, through this, the song makes for a deeper melancholy, because listeners don't have closure.
