From there, the band would continue to rise in the charts. In 2007, they released their fifth full-length, The Flame in All of Us, which was produced by Ken Andrews (Beck, Chris Cornell, Pete Yorn). Arriving in 2009, the aggressive Welcome to the Masquerade, which would be the band's last release with Tooth & Nail, entered the Billboard Top 200 at number 35, peaking at number two on the Christian rock chart. It was their most successful album to date and would spawn the band's first live album, Live at the Masquerade. The group's next studio album, The End Is Where We Begin, was issued in 2012. It was their first album released entirely independently. Continuing the upward chart trajectory with each subsequent release, The End debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200, and claimed the top spots on both the hard rock and Christian charts. In late 2013, the band released Made in Canada: The 1998-2010 Collection, which included two new tracks. Thousand Foot Krutch remained independent into 2014, relying on crowd-sourcing for the release of the energetic Oxygen: Inhale, the first part of a pair of hard rock chart-topping LPs. The heavier Exhale followed in 2016, marking TFK's third consecutive Christian number one.
My Home
Thousand Foot Krutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'd never... call it home
Its just a building in a city
Everywhere I go, this place is many things
But I can't call it home
Home is the voice that I hear
Every night on the phone
Might have said a few things that hurt you
But you're still the only one who fills me up
And every night spent alone was worth it.
[Chorus]
You are my home,
You are my everything,
When I feel so alone,
You are my home, you are my shelter
When all my hope is gone
And I've seen many tings
But they don't look like home,
They're just the bright lights from a city flowing all night long,
And I've seen many faces but they all look the same
Home is the place you are
And I just wanna let you know
That I've done a few things, I wasn't proud of
Might have said a few things that hurt you
But you're still the only one who fills me up
And all tears that we've shared were worth it.
[Chorus]
You are my home
You are my everything
When I feel so alone
You are my heart, you are the one
When it all comes undone,
When it all comes undone,
When it all comes undone
The song "My Home" by Thousand Foot Krutch is an emotional ballad about the struggles of finding a place to call home. The first verse explains that even though the singer is in a city, surrounded by buildings and people, they still don't feel like they are home. No matter where they go, they can't seem to find that sense of belonging. The second verse introduces the idea of home being a person rather than a place. The singer talks about how their real home is the person they talk to on the phone every night, and how they may have made mistakes and hurt that person, but they still fill them up and make them feel whole. The chorus reinforces this idea that their home is a person, not a physical place. When they feel alone and hopeless, that person is their shelter and their everything.
The lyrics of this song are a poignant commentary on the challenges of finding a true sense of home. It’s not just about where you live or what your surroundings look like - home is a feeling of safety, comfort, and belonging that comes from being with the people who love you. The bridge of the song mentions that the singer has seen many things, but nothing compares to the feeling of being home. This is a universal feeling that is relatable to many people, especially those who have moved around a lot or struggled with feelings of loneliness and displacement. The song ends on a positive note, with the singer expressing their gratitude for the person who is their home, and acknowledging that the tears they have shared together were all worth it in the end.
