Feels Like Home
The Self-Escape Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm crying one more lullaby
I'm hiding inside of a dream
Because our world, it's two different colors
An hour can feel like forever

So should I give it all up
And stay down on my knee when i fall
Every morning gets harder to get back up

Oh, and this pill don't do a thing at all
Now I'm better lost and forgotten
I already am anyway
Been looking for some kind of reason to keep me alive but I lose one each day

I'm crying one more lullaby
I'm hiding inside of a dream
Because our world, it's two different colors
An hour can feel like forever

So should I give it all up
And stay down on my knee when i fall
Every morning gets harder to get back up
Oh, and this pill don't do a thing at all
Now I'm better lost and forgotten
I already am anyway
Been looking for some kind of reason to keep me alive but I lose one each day

I'm crying one more lullaby
I'm hiding inside of a dream

Because our world, it's two different colors
An hour can feel like forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Self-Escape's song "Feels Like Home" delve into the pain and struggle of feeling disconnected and isolated from the world around them. The singer expresses their sorrow and vulnerability, comparing their emotions to hiding inside a dream and crying a lullaby. The line "our world, it's two different colors" suggests a stark contrast between their own perception and the reality they find themselves in. This disconnect causes time to feel elongated, as an hour can feel like an eternity when you are not at peace.

The singer contemplates giving up and staying down on their knees when they fall, indicating a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. Each morning becomes increasingly difficult to muster the strength to face the day, as even the "pill" they turn to for comfort fails to offer any respite. The phrase "better lost and forgotten" implies a desire to fade into obscurity, feeling that they are already forgotten by the world and searching for a reason to continue living but losing one with each passing day.

Overall, "Feels Like Home" is a poignant exploration of the emotional turmoil experienced when feeling out of place, disconnected, and longing for a sense of belonging and purpose.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm crying one more lullaby
I am expressing my sadness and pain through another emotional song

I'm hiding inside of a dream
I am seeking solace and escape from reality within my own imagination

Because our world, it's two different colors
Our perspectives and experiences are so different that it feels like we exist in separate worlds

An hour can feel like forever
Time stretches when I feel trapped and uncomfortable, making every moment seem unbearably long

So should I give it all up
Is it worth abandoning everything I've worked for and believed in?

And stay down on my knee when I fall
Should I remain defeated and submissive even when faced with challenges?

Every morning gets harder to get back up
Each day feels increasingly difficult to gather the strength to face the world again

Oh, and this pill don't do a thing at all
The medication I rely on to numb my pain and emotions has become ineffective

Now I'm better lost and forgotten
I feel more secure in being overlooked and disregarded, as it aligns with how I already perceive myself

I already am anyway
My worth and existence are already diminished in my own eyes

Been looking for some kind of reason to keep me alive but I lose one each day
I have been desperately searching for motivation to continue living, but I am losing reasons one by one, making it harder to hold on

I'm crying one more lullaby
Once again, I am expressing my sadness and pain through another emotional song

I'm hiding inside of a dream
I am seeking solace and escape from reality within my own imagination

Because our world, it's two different colors
Our perspectives and experiences are so different that it feels like we exist in separate worlds

An hour can feel like forever
Time stretches when I feel trapped and uncomfortable, making every moment seem unbearably long
