Hometown
Seawards Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We must fall apart.
I'm so tired (so tired)
We can't fall in love.
I'm so tired, much tired
Of hearing their truth,
I'm so tired 'cause they are
Ruining our youth.
Baby you should slow down
I'm coming to my (coming) hometown,
I'm waiting for the night
To change my clothes,
I'm breating underwater.
And you'll be kissing me slow
And watching all my sins burn,
Everything you touch is gold,
This is getting hotter.
If I'd run (I'd run)
Would you come with me?
If I'd die (I'd die)
Would you cry for me?
If I could tell the truth
Would you hear me?
'Cause when I scream what I feel
you wake up and leave.
Baby you should slow down
I'm coming to my hometown,
I'm waiting for the night
To change my clothes,
I'm breating underwater.
You'll be kissing me slow
And watching all my sins burn,
Everything you touch is gold,
This is getting hotter.
And baby you should slow down,
I'm coming to my hometown,
I'm waiting for the night
To change my
To change my clothes,
And you'll be kissing me slow
And watching all my sins burn,
Everything you touch became
Became gold.
I'm breating underwater.
And you'll be kissing me slow
Watching all my sins burn,
Everything you touch is gold,
This is getting hotter.
In the song "Hometown," the lyrics reflect a sense of exhaustion and weariness. The repetition of "I'm so tired" conveys a deep emotional fatigue, possibly stemming from a turbulent relationship or a challenging situation. The singer seems to be acknowledging a need for a break and a moment to fall apart, suggesting that they are reaching their breaking point.
The lyrics also touch on the concept of love, indicating that the singer feels too fatigued to engage in a relationship. The phrase "We can't fall in love" implies a state of emotional detachment and the inability to fully invest in a romantic connection. It could stem from past experiences of heartbreak or a fear of getting hurt again.
The lines "Of hearing their truth, I'm so tired 'cause they are ruining our youth" suggest frustration with societal expectations and pressures. The singer is tired of hearing others' opinions and beliefs, perhaps feeling a sense of disillusionment with the way those viewpoints are negatively impacting the younger generation. This line could also hint at a desire for freedom and a longing to break free from the constraints imposed by society.
The second verse introduces a plea for understanding and vulnerability. The singer questions whether their loved one would truly support them if they were to run away or face death. The lyrics express a sense of insecurity, wondering if their emotions and truths would be heard and validated. The mention of screaming what they feel suggests a desire to be authentic and express their true emotions, but the fear of abandonment lingers.
The chorus brings back the idea of "slowing down" and returning to the singer's hometown. It implies a sense of seeking solace and a desire for simplicity in familiar surroundings. The night is portrayed as a transformative time, where the singer hopes to shed their emotional baggage and start anew. The references to breathing underwater and sins burning may symbolize renewal and cleansing.
The repeated lyrics in the chorus reinforce the desire for a slower pace, emphasizing the intimacy of being kissed slowly and the transformative power of love. The phrase "everything you touch is gold" suggests that the love and connection with this person brings positivity and warmth. The increasing intensity and the mention of things getting hotter may reflect the growing passion and intensity of the relationship.
In conclusion, "Hometown" delves into themes of exhaustion, detachment, societal pressure, vulnerability, and the longing for authenticity and love. The lyrics portray a complex emotional journey, showing a yearning for respite and a desire for a genuine connection in a tumultuous world.
