Roam
Theia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alone again, under the city lights
Wasting away, don't wanna lose myself tonight

Battle through the waves, a renegade
Against the grey surrounding me
I was born to fight, made to forge the way
I'm here to stay
It don't matter where we come from or where we'll go
Cos baby, we've been searching for it way too long
No we're not gonna find it if we're standing still
So, baby, come with me
And maybe then you'll see

Everywhere I roam is home. Everywhere I roam is home
Everywhere I roam is home, home, home, home, home

I just wanna return, where my feet stood so firm
(Gotta let it go, I just wanna know)
When it's growing colder and it's far from over
(Gotta hold tight, just another night)

Battle through the waves, a renegade
Against the grey surrounding me
I was born to fight, made to forge the way
I'm here to stay

It don't matter where we come from or where we'll go
Cos baby, we've been searching for it way too long
No we're not gonna find it if we're standing still
So, baby, come with me and maybe then you'll see

Everywhere I roam is home. Everywhere I roam is home
Everywhere I roam is home, home, home, home, home

Everywhere I roam is home. Everywhere I roam is home
Everywhere I roam is home, home, home

It don't matter where we come from or where we'll go
Cos baby, we've been searching for it way too long
No we're not gonna find it if we're standing still
So, baby, come with me and maybe then you'll see

It don't matter where we come from or where we'll go
Cause baby, we've been searching for it way too long
No we're not gonna find it if we're standing still
So, baby, come with me and maybe then you'll see

Everywhere I roam is home. Everywhere I roam is home
Everywhere I roam is home, home, home, home, home





Everywhere I roam is home. Everywhere I roam is home
Everywhere I roam is home, home, home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Theia's song "Roam" speak to the universal human desire for a sense of belonging and purpose. The singer is alone in a city, feeling lost and disconnected from their surroundings. They are determined to fight against the "grey" and make their own path in life. The chorus is a declaration that no matter where they go, they will find a home because they carry that sense of belonging within themselves. The singer reaches out to someone to join them on this journey, believing that they too will find their way and perhaps discover the truth they have been searching for.


The song's message is uplifting and empowering, motivating listeners to take control of their lives and seek out their own sense of belonging. The lyrics also touch on the idea that one's sense of home and belonging is not tied to a physical place, but rather an internal state of being. By choosing to "roam" and forge their own path, the singer finds a sense of purpose and connection that transcends any specific location or community.


Overall, "Roam" is a powerful anthem for anyone feeling lost or disconnected, reminding us that we have the power to create our own sense of purpose and belonging. The song's message of resilience and self-determination is complemented by its upbeat electro-pop sound, making it an infectious and inspiring tune.

I used to go to church with her and she used to draw me horses when i was little.
She is honestly so talented at so many things.

First song i heard in the radio as i came to NZ in November 2016 and from then at least once every day until i had to leave again late in December. This song is so addictive and will always remember me of the great time i had...
When i want to get lost in the great memories i just put the song on and then i'm back on my vacation.

Matthew King-Alexander

Wow! Still a great song. It's not the song I discovered Theia's music though (it's 'Not Your Princess'), but this song is excellent too. Theia is an excellent Vocalist, and my #1 Favourite Pop Artist of All Time.

Bingo Namo

I'm surprised this doesn't have more views, as it has almost 15 million plays on Spotify. Great song.

GR Burke

This hits me right in the feels, totally new face song! Thanks, Theia

I remember when this song first came out and it was thrashed on the radio - loved it then but only now I get it.. life
Can you tell I'm a fan? Can't wait to discover more Theia ❀️

An absolute shame this didn't hit big numbers. A really good track

Federico Venturini

This song is simply fantastic! It deserves to have almost 1000 times the visualizations it has! The mix is fantastic as well! I use it as reference track for my productions!!! The mixing of the voices is really top class! Thank you Theia for this song! (We cover it in Tuscany - Italy for Live-lounge-like concerts)!
