YELLOWCARD

- Back Home Lyrics

Don't know what I was looking for when I went home, I found me alone
And sometimes I need someone to say, "You'll be all right. What's on your mind?"
But the water's shallow here and I am full of fear, and empty handed after two long years

Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance to feel it

Back home I always thought I wanted so much more, now I'm not too sure
Cause sometimes I miss knowing someone's there for me and feeling free
Free to stand beside the ocean in moonlight
And light myself a smoke beneath the dark Atlantic sky

Another sunny day in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it

Everybody here is living life in fear of falling out of line
Tearing lives apart and breaking lots of hearts just to pass the time
And the eyes get red in the back of your head, this place will make you blind
Put it all behind me and I'll be just fine

Another sunny day beneath this cloudless sky
Sometimes I wish that it would rain here
And wash away the west coast dreaming from my eyes
There's nothing real for them to see here

Another starry night in Californ-i-a
I'm sure back home they'd love to see it
But they don't know that what you love is ripped away
Before you get a chance, before you get a chance to feel it

What is the meaning behind Back Home lyrics?


When we try to interpret the meaning, Yellowcard's 'Back Home' depicts and contrasts the longing for a true connection and the heartache of loss, which are, however, usually invisible to those in the vicinity, with the emptiness and fear felt under the sunny front of California. The pain felt by the songwriter is mostly channeled through the motifs of reflection, isolation, angst, despair, and heartbreak during the song. Through the medium of lyrics, the song talks about isolation, disillusionment, longing for connection, and doing the needful in order to escape. The lyrics speak of desire and loneliness, and the need for connection, which might be more appropriate for an adult audience. There is no strong language or violence, nor is there any explicit content, but the emotional nuances and the mentions of fear and heartbreak might only be easier to comprehend by the elderly listeners.
