Alaska
Sophia Kruithof Lyrics

Two years he walked the earth
For two years, the person in question was traveling and exploring different places.

Following no footsteps
During his journey, he was not following the footsteps of anyone or any particular path.

And no idea if that would work
Although he had no idea whether his decision to travel would work or not, he still chose to follow his heart.

Would it work?
He was uncertain if his decision to travel would reap any benefits, and it was a question that lingered in his mind.

Two years he got no sleep
During his travels, he hardly got any sleep, and it was taking a toll on him.

Sometimes he was the wolf
There were times when he had to be fierce and independent like a wolf in order to protect himself.

Sometimes he had to be the sheep
There were also times when he had to be meek and humble like a sheep to get through certain situations.

And it wasn't cheap
His journey was expensive, and he had to spend a lot of money to make it happen.

And mom's praying for him
The person's mother is worried about his wellbeing and is praying for his safe return.

To make her son come home
The mother wants her son to return home so that she can take care of him and make sure he is safe.

But they don't know that he belongs
The family is unaware that he feels like he belongs in Alaska, as it is where he feels free and alive.

In Alaska
Alaska is a place where he feels a deep connection and sense of belonging.

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh) In Alaska
The chorus repeats the message that he feels complete and at home in Alaska.

He looked up and cried sometimes
During his journey, he sometimes felt emotional and overwhelmed by the beauty of the world around him.

This freedom also hurts sometimes
Although he is free to do as he pleases, the person acknowledges that freedom can also be painful and lonely at times.

He was so sure that he would stay
Despite the challenges he faced, he was confident that he wanted to stay in Alaska forever.

Hiding in the dead and grey
The phrase 'dead and grey' could refer to the cold, icy landscape of Alaska, which he loves and feels at home in.

No regrets, no cigarettes
He has no regrets about his decision to travel and pursue his dreams, and he does not smoke cigarettes.

Long nights he spent alone
He spent many long, lonely nights on his journey, but he still has no regrets.

No ceiling in his home
As a traveler, he has no permanent home or shelter and must rely on his own resources to survive.

With the stars alone
He finds solace and comfort in the vast, open sky and the stars.

And dad's praying for him
The person's father is also concerned for his son's wellbeing and is praying for him.

To make his son come home
The father also wants his son to come home, but unlike the mother, he may not understand the person's desire to be in Alaska.

(Alaska, Alaska, Alaska) In Alaska
The song ends by repeating the phrase 'In Alaska' several times, emphasizing the person's strong connection to this place.
