I love how the whole song is playing with two, maybe contradicting, sides. Career vs family, chasing dreams vs safety of comfort. Duncan’s singing about the coasts of gentle small town Hellevoetsluis vs those of the big city of LA. He sings of home, but what is home? The bridge, “There’s no place like home here in Hollywood” is almost contradiction in itself, as you can read it twice: “There’s no place like home: Here in Hollywood”, meaning that he sees Hollywood as his home, or you see it the other way around, “There’s no place like home (Hellevoetsluis/Amsterdam/the Netherlands) here in Hollywood”, where he means that there’s no place in Hollywood that even remotely feels like home. And it echoes from the first verse, where he asks himself “if this is home, what do I call where I came from?” Both are home, but different, and what feels more really like home?

Also « stars » can refer to the ones in the sky he could see in his hometown and to the « stars » of Hollywood = famous people, supported by the verse « knowing that they are not real » at the end of the song.

I guess many of us share the same story of living far away from our family, leaving them too young and too soon, that we don’t even realize our brother/sister has grown up so fast. And miss dad and mom. And the coast. The lyrics literally tells my story. Can’t wait to see you singing live in Warsaw 2022♥️
