When I’m Home Lyrics
It's not going in
It's not going in
You reach for sharper tools
And now I can't forget
The sound of a drill
(The sound of a drill)
And now I can't forget
The sound of a drill
Oh-woah-woah
And I wonder what are we waitin' for? (Waitin' for)
And I wonder what are we waitin' for? (Waitin' for)
A face (Wait for you)
A fleet (For you)
A war (For you)
When it's not going in
It's not going in
You reach for sharper tools
(It's not going in)
Don't speak, hold him instead
Look up and see the man on the ledge
And he will know what it was when he's home
Don't, don't, don't, don't ask
What the feelin' is
It's not easy, it's not easy, yeah
I will, I will know what it was
When I'm home (He)
I will know (Mm)
A face (High)
Drown in my feet (High)
Raisin' a fleet (High)
Patrollin' the sea
End in a war
Life on the sand
Dreamin' of land
Sight of a man
Fantasies and dreams (Ooh)
A nightmarе, a thought (Ooh)
Night tales and schemes (Ooh)
I nailеd the trick
Those spells was sick (Sick, sick)
A lost soul in Troy
My heart growin' old
What happened to stickin' to the plan, man?
I'm marchin' to this beach, I'm havin' band withdrawals
Prayin' to a god, I'm askin', "Please, lead me"
These tools I'm workin' with ain't really sharp at all
Lookin' for a Siren, hopin' that they call
Floatin' over water, I can hear those holes
Those holes (Those holes)
The sun is under you
'der you, of you
The sun is under you (And now I can't forget)
'der you, of you (The sound of a drill)
In my defense
In my defense
I will know what I did worst
When I'm home, baby
I will know what I did worst
When I'm home
When I'm home
About This Song
"When I'm Home" by James Blake, Travis Scott, and Ludwig Göransson is an alternative electronic/experimental R&B/hip-hop song which focuses on issues of internal conflicts, emotional pain, guilt and search for peace. The constant mentioning of "the sound of a drill" alludes to painful memory, whereas such phrases as "It's not going in" reveal the frustration of being unable to solve some problems that seem to have no solution at all. The main theme of the song does not lie in some specific event but in the state of mind; therefore, its lyrics consist of abstract images.
At the same time, the mentioned track is a kind of a voyage of self-discovery and redemption. Such allusions to the war, sea, Sirens, Troy etc., imply that the main hero experiences his own Odyssey in the process of searching for peace and truth. As for "I will know what I did worst when I'm home," the mentioned phrase means that one should reach a state of mental safety to be able to understand what had happened before.
