Where and what is home, to a time traveler?

lyrics

I thought I had fallen down
But I was mistaken
But we all make mistakes
Sooner or later

I found this place
It’s got to be real, it’s got to be fake
I made my home in this place
It’s got to be real, it’s got to save face, oh

I am just a man, just like we all are
Unless you’re not one
I’m not saying that it makes you any better
But it’s not impossible

I found this place
It’s got to be real, it’s got to be fake
I made my home in this place
It’s got to be real, it’s got to save face

I‘ve been here before and I won’t be knocked down
And I won’t be hurt, and I won’t be around
You’ve got this insane way of seeing everything
And I won’t be hurt, no I won’t be listening, oh

I won’t be oppressed by the masses
I won’t be that palatable
No I won’t be that kind of bull
I think I’ll be invisible

I found this place
It’s got to be real, it’s got to be fake
I made my home in this place
It’s got to be real, it’s got to save face

I‘ve been here before and I won’t be knocked down
And I won’t be hurt, and I won’t be around
You’ve got this insane way of seeing everything
And I won’t be hurt, no I won’t be listening
Oh
