Homesick
Ada/DJ Koze Lyrics

I lose some sails
I am sacrificing some progress in my career by taking time to indulge in my personal interests.

And my boss won't be happy
My superiors may not appreciate me taking time for things that are not directly related to my work.

But I can't stop listening to the sound
Despite any potential consequences, I am drawn to the music that captivates my attention.

Of two soft voices
My fascination is focused on the soothing sound of the duet that I am listening to.

Splendid in perfection
Their voices are harmoniously perfect and create a sense of awe within me.

From the reels of this record that I found
I discovered this music on a physical recording medium, which adds to the nostalgic charm of the experience.

Every day there's a boy in the mirror
I am struggling with my sense of identity and purpose on a daily basis.

Asking me what I am doing here
I am constantly questioning my place in the world and what my true calling is.

Finding all my previous motives
As I reflect on my past motivations, I am realizing that they are becoming less clear and relevant to my current situation.

Growing increasingly unclear
My sense of direction and purpose is becoming more muddled and uncertain.

I traveled far and I burned all the bridges
I have made significant changes in my life and cut ties with my past in order to pursue my dreams.

I believed that soon as I had land
I thought that once I achieved certain goals or milestones, my life would fall into place and become clear.

All the other options now before me
However, I am now realizing that there are still many different paths available to me and it is overwhelming.

Will wither in the light of my plan
I had previously assumed that there was only one correct path for me, but I am now seeing other possibilities that challenge that belief.

But there's only one thing on my mind
Despite my existential crisis, the only thing I can think about is finding more music like the duet that I am currently listening to.

Search in boxes, underneath the counter
I am on a quest to find more music by scouring through every possible source and location, no matter how obscure or unlikely.

On a chance that only tape I find
I am willing to take any risk or use any method in order to potentially discover new music that could change my life.

A sun forth, someone that needs somewhere
I am seeking out music that speaks to a universal human desire for a sense of belonging and purpose.

To long for
I am longing for a sense of home and belonging that I have not yet found.

Homesick, cause I no longer know
My search for meaning and purpose has left me feeling lost and disconnected from any sense of home or belonging.

Where home is
I am struggling to define what home means to me and where I truly belong.

Cause I no longer know.
My sense of identity and belonging is in flux, leaving me feeling adrift and uncertain.
