Vagabon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am dying to go, this is not my home
Freddy, come back, I know you love Vermont
But I thought I had more time
Freddy, come back, I know you love where you are
But I think I changed my mind
You won't work for the government that lost your sister
Freddy, come back, I know you love Vermont
But I thought I had more time
Freddy, come back, I know you love where you are
But I think I changed my mind
Freddy, come back, I know you love Vermont
But I thought that I had more time
We won't go back, I know you love where you are
But I think I changed my mind
When Vagabon sings "I've been hiding in the smallest spaces, I am dying to go, this is not my home," she is expressing a sense of confinement and longing for freedom. She feels trapped and uncomfortable in her current situation, and she desires to escape from it. The lyric "Freddy, come back, I know you love Vermont, But I thought I had more time" suggests that Freddy might be someone who is close to her and who has moved away. She regrets not spending more time with him while he was nearby, and now she feels stuck in her current situation.
The line "You say 'I will never change my ways', You won't work for the government that lost your sister" reveals that the subject of the song is someone who is resistant to change and has experienced a personal tragedy. This person may be holding onto their pain and using it as a reason to resist taking risks or making changes in their life. Vagabon is pleading with this person to come back to her, to escape from their current situation and try something new.
Overall, "Fear & Force" is a song about the struggle to break free from the things that hold us back and the fear that can keep us trapped. Vagabon's lyrics are poetic and evocative, painting a picture of someone who wants to leave their current situation but doesn't know how to make the change they desire.
