blessthefall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With all the words that made me choke
It says "i know you feel alone
You're scared to death, I'm letting go"
Sometimes you have to lose it all
To find yourself across the world
From no one else safe for you
But one more word before I go
I'm out the door to chase what I've been searching for
The spaces in between us grow
You'll never know
I'm scared to death of letting go
So take me out of the dark, are we seconds apart
My heart needs a break, it's an honest mistake
Until I find my way back
Help me find my way back
And bring me home
I'm not ready to believe
That we were meant for this collision
And it's just not what I need
So bring me home
If I make it back (oh oh)
If I make it back maybe you can be the reason
And fix this part of me
'Cause it's just not what I need
Can you fix this part of me
This part of me
It's not living if I'm not living with you
It's not living if I'm not living with you
It's not living if I'm not living with you
It's not living if I'm not living with you
Bring me home
I'm not ready to believe
That we were meant for this collision
And it's just not what I need
So bring me home
If I make it back (oh oh)
If I make it back maybe you can be the reason
And fix this part of me
'Cause it's just not what I need
So bring me home
Living with you
Living with you (wanna try to hold one, dance now)
It's not living if I'm not living with you
There you go!
In the beginning of the song "Welcome Home" by Blessthefall, the lyrics express a sense of detachment and departure, as the singer leaves a note behind before leaving. The note conveys their inner struggle and vulnerability, acknowledging feelings of loneliness and fear. The act of leaving is described as a necessary step towards self-discovery, even if it means losing everything familiar in the process. The line "I'm scared to death, I'm scared to die alone" speaks to the raw emotions of the singer, who grapples with the unknown path ahead.
As the song progresses, the lyrics delve into the distance that has grown between the singer and their loved one. Despite the physical separation, there is an emotional connection that remains, highlighted by the longing to be brought out of darkness and the yearning for reconciliation. The fear of letting go and the desire to find a way back underscore the internal conflict the singer is experiencing, torn between moving forward and looking back.
The chorus of the song, with the plea to "bring me home," reflects a deep longing for a sense of belonging and understanding. The singer expresses a reluctance to accept the current state of disconnection and seeks a resolution to the inner turmoil. The repetition of "if I make it back" echoes the uncertainty of the journey ahead and the hope that reconnection is possible, with the other person being the catalyst for healing and restoration.
The closing lines of the song emphasize the significance of being together, as the singer realizes that true living is intertwined with the presence of their loved one. The repetition of "It's not living if I'm not living with you" reinforces the idea that emotional fulfillment and authenticity are found in unity and shared experiences. Overall, "Welcome Home" encapsulates a profound narrative of introspection, longing, and the quest for reconciliation, culminating in a hopeful plea for unity and understanding.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm out the door, I left a note
Leaving a written message behind as I depart
With all the words that made me choke
Containing emotions that were difficult to express
It says 'i know you feel alone
Acknowledging your feelings of loneliness
You're scared to death, I'm letting go'
Expressing fear and the act of moving on
Sometimes you have to lose it all
Occasionally we must lose everything
To find yourself across the world
In order to discover oneself in different places
From no one else safe for you
Feeling safe only with yourself
But one more word before I go
Adding a final message before departing
I'm scared to death, I'm scared to die alone
Fearful of death and being alone
I'm out the door to chase what I've been searching for
Pursuing what I have been seeking
The spaces in between us grow
The distance between us increases
You'll never know
You may never understand
I'm scared to death of letting go
Afraid to release my grasp
So take me out of the dark, are we seconds apart
Yearning to be brought into the light, feeling close yet distant
My heart needs a break, it's an honest mistake
My heart requires healing, recognizing an error
Until I find my way back
Until I return to where I belong
Help me find my way back
Assist me in rediscovering my path
And bring me home
Bring me back to where I belong
I'm not ready to believe
Not prepared to accept
That we were meant for this collision
That our meeting was destined
And it's just not what I need
And it does not fulfill my needs
If I make it back maybe you can be the reason
Perhaps you will be the motivation for my return
And fix this part of me
And mend this aspect of myself
'Cause it's just not what I need
Because it does not satisfy my requirements
Can you fix this part of me
Are you able to repair this part of myself
It's not living if I'm not living with you
Life is not complete without you
There you go!
There it is!
Living with you (wanna try to hold one, dance now)
Being with you (want to embrace, dance now)
