Horny hippies i think refers to awkward kids trying to figure out how to date and find someone. Interpretation as follows: We were walking down the block when we thought the bomb went off And our hearts nearly stopped at the sound When we looked and we found that it hit some other crowd I was glad it wasn't us, yeah I was proud - A group of friends in adolescence lose their innocence watching people around them get into relationships. Cause I fall and I break just as easy as an egg Yeah, my shell isn't as hard as it seems When my insides gush out there's no telling what it's about When it'll stop, when it'll seed, when it'll bleed - The vulnerability in entering a relationship, all the uncertainty and anxiety tied into it. Yeah, I just stay in my home, in my home, in my home Yeah, I just stay in my home, in my home, in my home - Best to stay home in fear of getting hurt. Well, I take a look outside at the pretty girls outside But I can't make myself say "Hi" because I'm scared Because I spend all this time all locked up inside It's the only place I know how to bare - You want to find someone, but you’ve become awkward from locking your self away, making this task infinity harder. Cause you can go out and meet some girl you can't defeat And you think that she must be the one Until you're walking down the isle and she takes away your smile Boy you wish you hadn't dialed before you wrung - You finally find someone, things are good then you get married and the relationship either fails or is tried in some sense and you regret even starting this venture. Oh you should stay in your home, in your home, in your home Oh you should stay in your home, in your home, in your home - should have stayed home where you cant get hurt. Well they talk of your past, yeah they said it wouldn't last But they're running pretty fast back on their word It was gone for a while but it's coming back in style Better run back where you're from and join the mass - Everyone around you is saying that your relationship will fail. Against all odds you get back together and move to the home town to start this cycle again with your own family and kids. Yeah we'll just stay in our home, in our homes Yeah we'll just stay in our home, in our homes - Stay home with your family sheltered from a cruel world. |
