Make It Home

Lost and Searching: The Journey to Find Home
“Make It Home” by Kally's Mashup is a poignant exploration of feeling lost and the quest for belonging. The song opens with the artist expressing a sense of disorientation and fear, likening themselves to being lost in mid-air. This metaphor of floating aimlessly captures the essence of feeling small and unseen in a vast world. The lyrics convey a deep sense of isolation, as the artist struggles to find a place where they fit in, despite the many open spaces around them.
The recurring question, “Where do I belong?” underscores the central theme of the song. The artist compares themselves to a kite, floating alone under the clouds, emphasizing their solitude and lack of direction. This imagery of a kite, which is often controlled by the wind, symbolizes the artist's feeling of being at the mercy of external forces, unable to find stability or a sense of home. The repetition of the line “Will I ever make it home?” highlights the uncertainty and longing for a place of comfort and belonging.
As the song progresses, there is a subtle shift in tone. The artist acknowledges their origins but remains uncertain about their future path. The line “Just like a kite out a window, I'm gonna go where the wind blows” suggests a tentative acceptance of their journey, with a hope that they will eventually find their way home. The song concludes with a blend of resignation and hope, as the artist continues to search for a place to call home, striving to make their current place feel like home despite the challenges.
