Homage
Feist & Timber Timbre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
By a constant wind beyond the mind
And there is no psychic eye for you
Every night is Saturday night
This isn't only about another
And there is no simple explanation
And to express deep respect
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Is something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
I'm just a simple man (ooh)
I'm just a simple man (ooh)
I'm just a simple man (ooh)
Homage (homage)
The past of letters in line
It happens, all impossibly
From where the feeling comes
Not sure how again it runs
In solitary deep together
There is a seem between the breath
And the starred descent
Leading back up
In which direction will get us out?
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Is something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
I'm just a simple man (ooh)
I'm just a simple man (ooh)
I'm just a simple man (ooh)
Homage (homage)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Is something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Is something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Is something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)
Is coming back around (is coming back around)
Coming back through you (coming back through you)
Is something I can't understand (something I can't understand)
Homage, homage (homage, homage)

The lyrics to Feist and Timber Timbre's song Homage are quite poetic and abstract, making it difficult to interpret their meaning. The opening lines "To set breeze on fire / By a constant wind beyond the mind" suggest a desire to do the impossible, to ignite something that should not be ignited. The following lines "And there is no psychic eye for you / Every night is Saturday night" can be interpreted as a rejection of any kind of supernatural power, and a statement of living in the moment, enjoying life every day without looking for hidden meanings.
As the song progresses, the singers seem to be referencing the cyclical nature of existence and homage to those who have come before. They sing "Homage, homage is coming back around / Coming back through you / Is something I can't understand," suggesting that they are paying tribute to someone or something, but they can't quite grasp the full meaning or significance of it. They also mention the past and the feeling that comes with it, but they are not sure how it works or where it comes from.
Overall, the lyrics to Homage seem to be a mix of abstract imagery and cryptic references, leaving much open to interpretation. They suggest a reverence for tradition, a desire to break boundaries and a willingness to embrace the unknown.

The past of letters in line
The history or context of written communication
It happens, all impossibly
Events unfold in a way that seems unlikely or impossible
From where the feeling comes
From where the emotion or sentiment arises
Not sure how again it runs
Not certain how the cycle or pattern repeats
In solitary deep together
In a state of being alone but connected
There is a seem between the breath
There exists a connection or bridge between breaths
And the starred descent
And the downward trajectory or descent
Leading back up
Leading towards a rise or ascent
In which direction will get us out?
Which path or direction will lead to escape or resolution?
Homage
A tribute or recognition

@AndrewFons
They took this off Spotify. It was on a mix I made 7+ years ago and when it wouldn’t play the track I had to seek it out. Still every bit as beguiling and beautiful.
@bleachedbirch
It’s still on Spotify!
@ferdinandgarcia2433
