Missing
EDX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there anymore

It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere
Like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you
And I miss you

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
Of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run

I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout
Down to me
Where I always used to be

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain

And I miss you

And I miss you




Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to EDX's song "Missing" are about the singer missing someone who they used to know intimately. The song begins with the singer explaining that they are in the same place that they used to frequent with the person who they miss, but the person no longer lives there. The singer then starts to reminisce about the good times they shared with the person who has disappeared, wondering where they could have gone.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain" which means that the person is missed tremendously and deeply, just as the desert misses the rain – an essential part of life that is not present. The second verse suggests that the person who is being missed might now be dead, always ahead of everyone, and running when others walked. The singer struggles with the fact that they may never see this person again.


In conclusion, the song "Missing" is a powerful and emotional expression of the pain of losing someone important, even if it has been years since they have been around.
