Feels Like Home
Victims Aren't We All Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s so disconcerting and I'm losing hope
Are we all alone or just hiding from ourselves
Fear of the unknown is surviving inside us
It′s feeding without a sound
It's pulling us underground
You rely on darkness cause it feels like home
Well, we could be something wonderful
If you can't part with heartless then no one′s ever saving your soul
Only sometimes I find it′s easier to cope
Love left without warning, I'm at the end of my rope
Am I all alone or just hiding from myself
I′m scared of the unknown but I'm dying to find us
It′s beating and breaking down
It's ripping and tearing out
(And tearing out)
And we have become so pitiful
You rely on darkness cause it feels like home
Well, we could be something wonderful
If you can′t part with heartless then no one's ever saving your soul
Every time a part of me
Falls behind alone I sink
Sink
Sink
I sink
Just sink into me
And we have become so pitiful
You rely on darkness cause it feels like home
Well, we could be something wonderful
If you can't part with heartless then no one′s ever saving your soul
In the song "Feels Like Home" by Victims Aren't We All, the lyrics delve into the feeling of isolation and despair that the singer experiences. The opening lines, "Angled upside down with the world around my throat, It's so disconcerting and I'm losing hope," paint a vivid picture of the singer feeling overwhelmed and suffocated by their surroundings. They feel disconnected and wonder if they are truly alone or simply hiding from themselves.
The lyrics touch upon the fear of the unknown that resides within all of us, highlighting how it can consume us silently and pull us down underground. The phrase "feeding without a sound" implies that this fear grows and thrives within our minds, affecting us deeply. It speaks to the internal struggles we face and how they can impact our lives.
The chorus reveals the singer's reliance on darkness and negativity as a coping mechanism. They have become accustomed to their own misery and find solace in it, as it feels like home to them. However, amidst this darkness, there is a glimpse of hope. The lyrics suggest that if one can let go of their heartlessness and embrace something more compassionate, then perhaps there is a chance for them to become something wonderful.
The second verse continues to explore these themes of loneliness and self-awareness. The singer admits that sometimes it is easier to simply cope with the pain rather than confront it. Love has left them abruptly, leaving them at the end of their rope. They question whether they are truly alone or if they are hiding from themselves. Despite the fear of the unknown, they yearn to find a connection.
The bridge of the song expresses the struggle the singer faces as parts of themselves fall behind and they sink deeper into their own despair. It reinforces their desperate desire to be understood and saved from this pitiful state.
Overall, "Feels Like Home" delves into the complex emotions of isolation, fear, and the search for connection. It highlights the destructive comfort that can be found in negativity and urges the listener to consider the possibility of embracing something more compassionate and transformative.

Shattered Silent Soul
hey! Great song! So glad you got to do this and enjoy it, but I gotta say I do miss the band being together. I know things are going on, and I won't pry or bring it up much. But I imagine it's been taking a toll on everyone. So, I wrote this for you and the band. It's extremely novice, but I'm hoping it helps out a little bit, so you and the guys know you'll always have the support of your fans.
Not Alone When Home:
When you’re feeling broken, beaten down
Or standing on your own
Take a step through the crowd
Remember you’re not alone
This life may seem to make you drown
Shadows gripping, grabbing, pulling you down
But here you are
You’ve made it this far
It hurts to feel like you’re on your own
Shrouded in the darkness
People seem so heartless
But here we are
We’re not alone
(not alone)
Just take a few steps closer
To find your way back home
(find your way back home)
When you’re feeling overwhelmed and want to break down
Or want the pain to go away
Just breathe with me and hear me when I saw
Remember that you’re not alone
We’ll find our way back home
We may need help
And we might be broken, boneless
But there’s no shame in crying or pain
Just remember you’re not homeless
Poison to your blood
And false music to your ears
It hurts to see your eyes
So full of tragic tears
Sometimes it’s hard to see
(I see)
The reason why you shouldn’t leave
But you’ve made it this far
Even when it’s been so hard
(I'm scarred)
Just please realize that you’re free
To be where you want to be
But don’t lose sight of those who’ve helped
You along the way
Get through the day, and we’ll make it home
Just remember that you’ll never be alone
(Not alone when you're home)
