"Home" is the tenth track on the album All My Demons Greeting Me as a Friend.[1] It was written by Aurora and Tom Hull and produced by Odd Martin Skålnes and Magnus Skylstad.
About the song[]
The song deals with depression and how it can sometimes overcome us; how sometimes we need to numb ourselves in order to feel home. Aurora has said that it is about people who have ended up on the wrong track in life, and who survive by finding a form of security.[2] It is about "finding a home among what you have, even if it's not much".[3]
She also explained to The 405:
"We are not alive... we're just surviving every time. It's not a good way of living, making yourself numb, trying to let every day pass by as quickly as possible. But at least it makes us happy for a while. We are home."[4]
The song rarely (if ever) appeared in live shows until 2019. Interviewed in 2016, Aurora was asked why some songs are rarely played live, she responded:
"I need to distance myself from a few songs before I can play them in public. I don't play Home from my last album yet, because it makes me too sad. But I feel like I'll get there soon."[5]
Nordic folk music was an inspiration for the song.[6]
Lyrics[]
Lost in the moments again
Stuck where the road has no end
Keeping the thought in our minds
One day life will be kind
We are not alive
We are surviving every time
We are not alive
Only dreams inside our minds
We are home
We are home
Home
We are home
We are home
Home
Endless days of complaints
Forcing the light to our veins
Keeping the hope in our minds
One day life will be kind
We are not alive
We are surviving every time
We are home
We are home
Home
We are home
We are home
Home
Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones
Doesn't really matter where you come from
We are home
We are home
Home
Calm again, calm again
I feel warm again, I'm reborn again
I am warm inside for a little while
I am fine
We are not alive
We are surviving every time
Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones
Doesn't really matter where you come from
We are home
We are home
Home
Wrapped inside a cocoon made of flesh and bones
Doesn't really matter where you come from
We are home
We are home
Home
