Hiraeth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why am I still afraid about the things they say
About every little piece that's not right with me
I am who I am but that's the one they hate
I am a stranger, outlier, just another pariah
I have lost my pride
I'm just another kind
Another life with its demons in its mind
I always tried to keep strong, but where did I go wrong?
Where is my home, where do I belong?
Where did I go wrong?
I've been part of an everlasting concern
Of that I thought it would never end
But in my ever-changing attitude and judgements
The wind shifts it's directions again
And my sun seems to lose its last glare
Beyond horizons of endless view
There is still no place for my longing
No place for my cure
Why am I still afraid about the things they say
About every little piece that's not right with me
I am who I am but that's the one they hate
I am a stranger, outlier, just another pariah
I have lost my pride
I'm just another kind
Another life with its demons in its mind
I always tried to keep strong, but where did I go wrong?
Where is my home, where do I belong?
I want to return but I don't know where I'm from
And when there proverbs are right
I have neither heart nor home
Your voice, another reason to stay
This place, another reason to fade
I walked for days and nights
I climbed and crawled these miles
And as I walked my path
Departure find its way
As time goes by
I came to realize
Between these waters and stones
I have lost what was home
Where did I wrong?
Where do I belong?
Should I keep my hopes down low?
This is the safest way to go
Where did I wrong?
Where do I belong?
Should I keep my hopes down low?
This is the safest way to go
Where did I wrong?
Where do I belong?
Should I keep my hopes down low?
This is the safest way to go
Why am I still afraid about the things they say
About every little piece that's not right with me
I am who I am but that's the one they hate
I am a stranger, outlier, just another pariah
I have lost my pride
I'm just another kind
Another life with its demons in its mind
I always tried to keep strong, but where did I go wrong?
Where is my home, where do I belong?
