Homesick
Chef'Special Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I′m homesick I don't know where my heart fits
And I'm weightless I′m passing through these places
I′m weightless stuck between silence and praises
Now who is counting days so long I've been away
Am I lost or free I don′t want it to be all about me
Am I lost or free I don't want it to be all about me
But I′m selfish just minding my own business
Want you thinking I'm indifferent cause I′m
Homesick but the road is waiting
It called me and there′s no escaping
There's hardly time for goodbye kisses
Goodnight wishes it′s all in the game
But I don't need anything no if only you could
Sing me sometimes
Of those fun times of those long times ago
Now who is counting days so long I′ve been away
Am I lost or free I don't want it to be all about me
Am I lost or free I don′t want it to be all about me
The song “Homesick” by Chef’ Special highlights the feeling of being lost and longing for a place to call home. The lyrics reflect a sense of confusion, as the singer expresses not knowing where their home is or where their heart fits. The singer admits feeling weightless and stuck between silence and praises, indicating that they are struggling to find their place in the world. They are counting the days they have been away and questioning whether they are lost or free. The singer admits to being selfish and minding their own business, but they do not want others to think they are indifferent because they are homesick. The road is waiting for them, and they cannot escape it. The reality is that they have to say goodbye to people they care about and that they don't need anything, except maybe a reminder of the fun times they used to have.
The song is about the feeling of being lost and not having a place to call home. It speaks to anyone that has ever traveled afar and found themselves far from home with no sense of belonging. The lyrics suggest that it is easy to become so self-focused that we forget about the people we care about. The singer admits to being selfish and minding their own business and not wanting to be misunderstood. At the same time, it is clear that the singer feels a sense of isolation, and there is a longing for something, possibly the past. The song empathizes with the listener, encouraging them to accept the situation for what it is and move forward.
