Song Meaning of “Home” by Daughter
The song “Home” by Daughter is an emotional and powerful song filled with longing. The lyrics follow a journey of a girl searching for a place to come home to, but finding that she never really had one. The song is a raw and honest expression of the fear and loneliness that comes with being without a true home, or feeling like you don’t truly belong anywhere.
The singer laments that despite travelling far and wide and feeling an emptiness in her heart, when she finally finds a place to call home, “a voice still calls me back again”. The voice she hears is an inner reminder that no matter where she goes, the longing for somewhere to call home will stay within her because, in truth, she never really found one.
The chorus serves as a melancholic reflection as the singer resolves to give up her search and come to terms with her nomadic life. In a bittersweet way, the singer finds a new kind of strength in a newfound sense of independence and freedom. Perhaps, ultimately, it is only in accepting the reality of her condition that the singer finds a home of her own.
