Hometown
The Mirrors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm happy to live my life now
I feel like I'm a man of my time
But I don't have to thank my generation
I used to criticize my hometown
But at the end I found I love it so
And that the world's not so bad
My days are not so empty
And I'm so proud to sing that
I'm so happy
That I was born in this
Foggy town
It'll always be the only
One I call home
And I'm so proud to sing that
I love my hometown
The Mirrors' song Hometown celebrates the beauty and positivity of one's place of origin. The lyrics initially suggest a sense of mundanity and monotony in everyday life, but the singer asserts that he is content with his life and feels like he is living in the right moment. He dismisses the idea of being indebted to his generation for his current state of being, and instead revels in his personal fulfillment.
The lyrics then shift towards the singer's relationship with his hometown. Initially, he critiques it as most teenagers do, but eventually realizes that he truly loves it. The mention of the town being "foggy" likely alludes to the town's dreary or melancholic atmosphere, but the singer expresses pride in it despite its imperfections. His love for his hometown is so strong that he is happy to sing about it publicly.
Overall, the song is an ode to the idea of home and the enduring love we have for the places we spent our formative years. The singer moves from a place of apathy or antipathy towards familiarity to a sense of appreciation and fulfillment that can only be found in roots.
