Feels Like Home
Tiffany Stringer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feels like home
When did everything come crashing down
Slip through my fingertips?
The house we built no longer holds
Forget what they made you believe
Remember who we used to be
And I pick myself up to my feet again
And I open up my doors let you in
It feels like home
Feels like home
(It feels like)
Wasting time and memories to hide away from destiny
Circling through old stories that I′ve told
But this love won't come back again
I know more than I ever did
That world was never mine, so I′ll move on (On, on)
And I pick myself up to my feet again
And I open up my doors let you in
It feels like home
Feels like home
(It feels like)
Feel like I found home inside again
Go back, I won't run, hide it
Feel like I found home inside again
Go back, I won't run, hide it
Feel like I found home inside again
Go back, I won′t run, hide it
Feel like I found home inside again
Go back, I won′t
It feels like home
Feels like home
(It feels like)
Pick myself up to my feet again (It feels like)
Open up, I let you in
Tiffany Stringer's song "Feels Like Home" is a reflective and emotional ballad about the journey of finding oneself after going through difficult times. The song starts off by asking a rhetorical question, "when did everything come crashing down, slip through my fingertips?" This line is a metaphor for the moments in life when things seem to fall apart and you lose control. The chorus "Feels like home" is repeated twice, emphasizing the feeling of safety, comfort, and familiarity that one experiences when they find a place or state of being that feels like home. In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that the "house we built no longer holds". This line hints at a previous relationship that has lost its significance or has ended, leading the singer to rediscover herself and remember who she used to be.
The lyrics of the song are vivid and emotional, with a message of hope and redemption. The singer acknowledges the pain of moving on, but is set on doing so anyway. She encourages herself to pick herself up again and open up to love and new beginnings. The pre-chorus and chorus, "And I pick myself up to my feet again, And I open up my doors let you in, It feels like home, Feels like home," shows the resolution to move on and open oneself to love. The final part of the song shows the singer's renewed hope and confidence as she affirms, "Feel like I found home inside again, Go back, I won't run, hide it."
Line by Line Meaning
Feels like home
The feeling of being in a familiar and comfortable place
Feels like home
Reiterating that the feeling is strong and real
When did everything come crashing down
Wondering when everything fell apart suddenly and disastrously
Slip through my fingertips?
Asking how everything disappeared so quickly and easily from grasp
The house we built no longer holds
The place where they made a home together has lost its meaning and emotional value
Forget what they made you believe
Ignoring what others tell you to think or feel
Remember who we used to be
Recalling the people they were before they got lost or changed
When we were young and called this world our own
Look back to the time when they were youthful and felt like they had it all
And I pick myself up to my feet again
Resiliently getting up again and moving forward
And I open up my doors let you in
Allowing someone back into their life
Wasting time and memories to hide away from destiny
Avoiding fate by living in the past or dwelling on past events
Circling through old stories that I've told
Repeating old tales or events that no longer hold significance
But this love won't come back again
Accepting that a past love will not return or be rekindled
I know more than I ever did
Gaining new wisdom and understanding through experience
That world was never mine, so I'll move on (On, on)
Realizing that the past state of things and how they once were is left behind so they must move forward
Feel like I found home inside again
Finding comfort and joy in oneself again
Go back, I won't run, hide it
No longer running or hiding from oneself and the feelings that make them feel at home
Pick myself up to my feet again
Resiliently getting up again and moving forward
Open up, I let you in
Allowing someone back into their life again
