She wrote this song when they were on their first tour in America and she missed her family and was feeling home sick.

Thank you ✌️

I think Dolores said somewhere in an interview or something that this song is about missing family and home, and reflecting on her childhood as she was out there touring with the Cranberries and she thought Fame was the be all and end all of things, but then when it happened, it didn't seem important to her that much, and that family and normal things meant more to her, I could be wrong but I think that's roughly what this song is about

Thank you Andrew. That explains the "when I was out there" part ✌️

This woman had a way of delivering her lyrics with the texture of her vocal control that made you feel every word in your soul. She was the female Robert Smith. This song makes you long for the innocent/simple times. Her being 'out there' was about being away from home in the band on tour. I honestly think her father 'liking her' was her not feeling the 'love' instead of like. She had made mention in interviews that there was childhood trauma but never elaborated. Its been theorized that this untreated trauma played into/contributed to her depression and dependency issues. Mental health ultimately caused us to lose her. I cherished her musical and poetical gifts from the very early formation of The Cranberry Saw Us. Miss this woman greatly.

In a 2017 interview that the lead singer of The Cranberries, Dolores O’Riordan, granted to Songfacts, she revealed the meaning behind “Ode to My Family”. According to her, the lyrics are about the choice she made to pursue the career of a rock star and the misunderstanding she had with her parents regarding her choice.
She referred to the song as a “therapeutic song”. She later added that she wrote the song when she and The Cranberries were touring America. She said during the tour, she was so far away from her family and loved ones and feeling very lonely. The loneliness she felt being away from her loved ones birthed the lyrics of this track.
