about

Home is about being afraid. It's that moment of uncertainty, the fear of not knowing what the future holds. It's about being scared to be your true, authentic self. It's about feeling small and childlike, lost and trying to find a sense of belonging. Home is written from the perspective of those caught up within the depths of anxiety, feeling like a darkness surrounds them while they try to find the strength to overcome their fears and stand tall again.

Home is ethereal and haunting. Its melancholic retro wave opens with brooding undertones but evolves into bouncing pop vibes. It is heavily influenced by vocal harmony led classics and encapsulates the sound of an 80s movie montage where the hero of the story has reached their lowest point but has risen up to overcome their demons.
Analogue synths, guitars drenched in chorus and vocals reverberating out into the darkness, Home was written at the birth of Young Empress and marks a special place in our journey together as a duo.

lyrics

I think I got away with it again
Closed my mouth and spoke to you
In a hundred thousand silent ways
Setting fire to worry and paper
Filling our lungs with anyone but the one

Close your eyes and tell a lie
Its another way to say goodbye
Ive realised I’m better on my own

Ohhh and we travelled very far
Broken wires are sparking
It will never be enough

It doesn’t feel like home
And nobody knows
It doesn’t feel like home

It doesn’t feel like home
And nobody knows
It doesn’t feel like home

Alone I can feel it surrounding me
And the daylight fades to night
Oh I am scared and its killing me
Arise up again, I will fight

You do not control me
I am more than you see
I find strength in the dark, it empowers me
I will be alright

We have travelled very far
Broken wires are sparking
It will never be enough

It doesn’t feel like home
And nobody knows
It doesn’t feel like home
