People Asking Why Lyrics

Cover art for People Asking Why lyrics by Seal

This was written from the perspective of a man who's gone through many changes throughout the course of his life. The man he used to be is not the man that he is; experience distinguishes the two (the man he used to be from the man he is today). He's changed and home isn't the same place that it was yesterday. So how does he get back to that place, to the forgotten memories of the past? If home is where the heart is, then is that place, today, the same it was yesterday? Things change and neither man, his feeling, nor his assessment of home is an exception to that rule. What this perspective offers is a twist to the adage that is to "forget where you come from."
