The lyrics are about broken homes and suffering families, a theme that FFTL had already approached in earlier songs like Afterbirth.

Back to Hannalei Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Family
A word that meant so much to me
This world is one that's taken everything too late
The road split open to swallow me
Hoping you'd follow when I take the lead
Am I the child who lost his way?
I can't let go of all this hate
[Chorus]
A broken home
Heaven is lost and we are nothing
Please, bring me back to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory
God, if you're real, take me back to Hannalei
[Verse 2]
Out past the break inside the undertow
I marvel in the life down below
I've worn this mask long enough
And we're past the point of hellos
It's time I sing to those who relate
Let go of hate
[Chorus 2]
A broken home
Heaven is lost but angels will sing
Your path will lead to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry that I'm nothing but a memory
If you're up there, know I'm in a better place
[Chorus]
A broken home
Heaven is lost and we are nothing
Please, bring me back to brighter days
I can't help but be myself
Sorry if I'm nothing but a memory
God, if you're real, take me back to Hannalei
