Homesick
Bl@h Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ang iyon nakaraan, ang iyong nakalipas
Mga dati mong kasama
Tumingin ka sa ulap at iyong maaalala
Si inay at si itay, si ate at si kuya
Ang lahat ng kababata
Homesick, Homesick (Homesick)
Mga ibong lumilipad, pagsapit ng dilim
Sana'y makita kong muli
ang aking Kinagisnan
Si Esmi nasaan?
The lyrics to Bl@h's song Homesick are a reflective and introspective look into one's past and longing for the people and places that made them who they are today. The song talks about looking up at the clouds and seeing memories of the past, particularly of the people who were once a part of the singer's life. The lines "Ang lahat ng kababata" (All of my childhood friends) and "Si inay at si itay, si ate at si kuya" (Mom and dad, older sister and brother) reflect a nostalgia for the warm and familiar presence of family and loved ones back home.
The second half of the song talks about the feeling of being lost and alone, looking at bats flying around in the darkness. The singer wants to see their childhood again and wonders where their friend Esmi is. At its core, the song is about the universal experience of feeling homesick, missing the people and places that played a significant role in shaping who we are today.
