Homesick
BLACK FEATHERS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Under the water deep.
And rue the day,
You slipped away from me.
I can hear you breathing,
A million miles from home,
Can't forget the day i let you go.
Maybe i'm homesick and i don't know it,
Maybe the sun's gone and i can't see,
Maybe the heartache is all you've left,
For me.
Been smoking wisdom oh and drinking dreams,
Forever so it seams,
Kept at bay till i'm old and grey,
For you.
Maybe i'm homesick and i don't know it,
Maybe the sun's gone and i can't see,
Maybe this heartache is all you've left for me.
I don't want to be lonely oh
I am lost oh and i can hold my breath
But i can't for get to breathe
Maybe i'm homesick and i don't know it,
Maybe the sun's gone and i can't see,
Maybe this heartache is all i've left,
Maybe this heartache is all i've left,
Maybe this heartache is all you've left.

Line by Line Meaning
Swallow it down and fall asleep,
Suppressing my emotions and trying to escape through sleep.
Under the water deep.
Feeling submerged and overwhelmed by sadness.
And rue the day,
Regretting the moment when everything changed.
You slipped away from me.
You gradually distanced yourself from our relationship.
I can hear you breathing,
Still sensing your presence, even from a distance.
A million miles from home,
Separated from the place where we both belong.
Can't forget the day I let you go.
Unable to erase the memory of when I allowed you to leave.
Maybe I'm homesick and I don't know it,
Possibly longing for the comfort and familiarity of home without realizing it.
Maybe the sun's gone and I can't see,
Perhaps the brightness and warmth in my life has vanished, making it hard to find joy.
Maybe the heartache is all you've left,
The pain and sorrow are the only remnants of our relationship.
For me.
Affecting only me, leaving me to deal with the aftermath alone.
Been smoking wisdom oh and drinking dreams,
Trying to find solace and escape through seeking knowledge and fantasizing.
Forever so it seems,
Endlessly trapped in this state of longing and yearning.
Kept at bay till I'm old and grey,
Keeping these emotions suppressed until I'm old and worn out.
For you.
All this burden-bearing is for the sake of our past connection.
I don't want to be lonely oh
Feeling a strong aversion towards the feeling of loneliness.
I am lost oh and I can hold my breath
Feeling disoriented and capable of enduring prolonged suffering without breaking down.
But I can't forget to breathe.
Still needing to prioritize self-care and remember to take care of myself during this difficult time.
Maybe I'm homesick and I don't know it,
Potentially yearning for a sense of belonging and familiarity without being consciously aware of it.
Maybe the sun's gone and I can't see,
Perhaps the light and positivity in my life have disappeared, hindering my ability to perceive hope.
Maybe this heartache is all I've left,
Perhaps this pain and sorrow are all that remain within me.
Maybe this heartache is all you've left for me.
It's possible that you have left me with nothing but heartache and emotional distress.
