Last night I thought of you
Years ago, when bodies grew
An empty home
A vacant Hell
I knew you in the harsh realm
I thought about how it was
I thought about you because
I always
think about you
I always think about you

I always think about you
I always think about you
I always think about you
I always think about you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Widowspeak's "Harsh Realm" speak to the idea of nostalgia and memories associated with a past love. The first few lines suggest a state of reflection, as the singer thinks back to a time when "bodies grew" and they knew someone in a "harsh realm." The use of the word "empty" and "vacant" to describe the home and Hell respectively paints a picture of a desolate environment. These vivid descriptions convey melancholy and despair, highlighting the emotional weight of these memories.

The repetition of "I always think about you" in the chorus emphasizes the deep longing the singer has for this person. Despite the passage of time, they cannot help but continually reflect on this person and the moments they shared together. This song touches on the idea that sometimes the past can be a haunting presence in our lives, despite all efforts to move forward.

Line by Line Meaning

Last night I thought of you
Recently, I remembered you

Years ago, when bodies grew
In the past, when we were younger and growing

An empty home
A house that felt vacant and uninviting

A vacant Hell
An unpleasant and empty place

I knew you in the harsh realm
I experienced a difficult time with you

I thought about how it was
I reflected on the past and how things used to be

I thought about you because
I remembered you for no particular reason

I always think about you
You are always on my mind
