Three Days Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll be coming home
Just to be alone
'Cause I know you're not there
And I know you don't care
I can hardly wait to leave this place

No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I'm better off alone

You always disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home

By the time you come home
I'm already stoned
You turn off the tv
And you scream at me
I can hardly wait
'Til you get off my case

No matter how hard I try
You're never satisfied
This is not a home
I think I'm better off alone

You always disappear
Even when you're here
This is not my home
I think I'm better off alone
Home, this house is not a home





This house is not a home
I'm better off alone

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Three Days Grace's song "Home" deal with the theme of a dysfunctional, loveless relationship. The singer expresses his desire to leave this home where he does not feel welcome or loved. He is coming home just to be alone because he knows his partner is not there and does not care. The atmosphere is grim, and the singer can hardly wait to leave this place, which he does not consider a home. He tries hard to please his partner, but she is never satisfied, making him feel inadequate and unloved.


The singer is also under stress from the substance abuse he turns to as a way of coping with his relationship problems. His partner turns off the TV and screams at him, adding to his sense of hopelessness. He feels better off alone, and the house where he lives is no longer his home. The lyrics imply that the singer's partner is emotionally abusive and neglectful. The song's overall message is that leaving a toxic relationship is often the best option for one's mental health and well-being.


Line by Line Meaning

I'll be coming home
I'm coming back to the place where I live


Just to be alone
I'll be going to my house to be by myself


'Cause I know you're not there
I'm aware that you're not there with me


And I know you don't care
And I have an understanding that you don't care about me


I can hardly wait to leave this place
I can barely wait to leave this environment


No matter how hard I try
Despite my best efforts


You're never satisfied
You're never content with what I do


This is not a home
This place does not feel like a home


I think I'm better off alone
I believe I'm better off being alone


You always disappear
You frequently vanish


Even when you're here
Even when you're physically present


This is not my home
This is not the place I consider a home


Home, this house is not a home
I refer to my living space as home, but it doesn't feel like one


By the time you come home
When you finally come back after being away


I'm already stoned
I've already smoked marijuana


You turn off the tv
You switch off the television


And you scream at me
And you yell at me


I can hardly wait
I can barely wait


'Til you get off my case
Until you stop nagging me


This house is not a home
My living space doesn't feel homely


I'm better off alone
I'm better off being alone

I'll be coming home
Just to be alone
'Cause I know you're not there
And I know that you don't care
I can hardly wait

Home, home, this house is not a
Home, home, this house is not a home

Adam Gontier is one of the few singers you can genuinely feel his hurt and pain expressed through his music. Three Days Grace - just like Linkin Park - as such deep emotions resonating through it.

Saturn50

I feel like people tend to look over slipknot when they talk about bands that put emotion into everything.
If you actually look into their story you can really tell what some songs are about.

Blue113

@Saturn50 They're awesome too

Saturn50

@Elijah ECHICAGOBEARS Boyd yup

Jude Gmiterek

@Saturn50 I was thinking the exact same thing, whether it’s super heavy, or a song like snuff, you can feel the emotion and it’s fucking amazing

Being 15 growing up in a dysfunctional abusive family of alcoholics and listening to this alone crying in my room saved me for real, now I’m 22 but this band still holds special place in my heart❤

Steve Jacobson

I can relate too much

Magical WolfGamer

Same. I grew up with a really toxic mother. I can really relate to the song as well
