Coming home isn’t always a celebration. Sometimes, it’s the start of a whole new war.
The moment you step off the plane, people think it’s over. You’re safe. You made it. But what they don’t see is the thousand-yard stare, the quiet nights you can’t sleep, or the panic that comes from silence after years of noise.
“Coming Home” was created to hold space for that strange in-between—a place where you're surrounded by everything familiar, and yet you feel completely out of place.
The Story Behind the Song
This track was born from real conversations with brothers in arms—some still with us, some lost along the way. It reflects the confusion, guilt, numbness, and disconnection that so often follow the return from war. It’s not just about geography—it’s about trying to re-enter a life that kept moving without you.
And the truth is, sometimes the most dangerous battlefield is the one between your ears when the crowd stops cheering.
The Veteran Connection
For those who’ve served, you know what it’s like to return to a family that doesn’t know how to ask the right questions… or to a town that moved on while you were trying not to die.
You’re expected to reintegrate. To be “normal.” But how can you be normal when what you saw, what you did, and what you became out there doesn’t fit in the world you came back to?
“Coming Home” is a nod to that reality. It's a way of saying, “Yeah, I know. Me too.”
The Human Connection
Even if you’ve never worn the uniform, you’ve probably had a Coming Home moment.
Maybe it was after losing a loved one, leaving a toxic relationship, or walking away from a version of yourself you no longer recognized. The ache to return to “what was,” only to find it no longer exists… that’s a universal wound.
This song is for anyone who’s tried to find peace in a world that no longer fits.
Why It Matters
“Coming Home” isn’t about closure. It’s about honesty. About recognizing that healing is rarely instant—and that you’re not broken for needing time to feel safe again.
Sometimes, just naming the struggle is the most courageous act of all.
Final Thought
You can survive war and still feel lost in peace.
But healing begins the moment you admit: you’re home, but not whole—yet. And that’s okay. You don’t have to walk this part alone.
