| Young the Giant – In My Home Lyrics | 6 years ago |
| I think this song is about the restless frenzy that life can become when you’re young. A lot of things in life are unattainable in say the first half of the terrible 20’s and you feel trapped by a society working against you, so you abandon structured life in exchange for a couch hopping/ backpacking take-what-comes kinda lifestyle. And while this is exhilarating and freeing in a sense, it’s ultimately escapism from the emptiness of not having a stable home. Hence the line “I’m paralyzed” (maybe a nod to the song “Paralysis” on the same album, which I think is about depression) The song is about riding the high of youth and the joy that fast paced life can bring, while ignoring the underlying things that might be missing. The fall from that high comes a couple songs later. | |
