Homage
Feist x 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
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
Something I can't understand
I'm just a simple man
I'm just a simple man
I'm just a simple man
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 staired descent we back up
In which direction will get us out
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
I'm just a simple man
I'm just a simple man
I'm just a simple man
Homage
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Is coming back around
Coming back through you
To something I can't understand
Homage, homage
Homage, homage
Homage, homage
Homage
The lyrics of "Homage" by Feist x Timber Timbre are complex and full of metaphors. The opening lines, "To set breeze on fire by a constant wind beyond the mind," are a metaphor for a feeling or a passion that is so intense, it feels like it could ignite the air around you. The next lines, "And there is no psychic eye for you, every night is Saturday night," suggest that this feeling is not something that can be explained or understood, but it is ever-present like a weekend evening that comes around every week.
The chorus repeats the word "homage," suggesting that the song is a tribute or a signal of respect to someone or something. The lines "Is coming back around, coming back through you, to something I can't understand" suggest that this tribute is something that is cyclical or recurring, and that the person or thing being honored is connected to something beyond our understanding.
The second verse continues with the theme of something that is difficult to grasp or comprehend, but suggests that there is a connection between people even in their solitude, and that there is a path out of difficult situations that requires backing up and looking in a different direction. The song finishes with a repetition of the chorus, driving home the message that this tribute is something that is important and recurring in the lives of these artists.
Line by Line Meaning
To set breeze on fire
To ignite a gentle gust of wind, create something from nothing with passion and intensity
By a constant wind beyond the mind
With a steady force outside of conscious thought and mental control
And there is no psychic eye for you
You can't predict or control every aspect of your surroundings with supernatural power
Every night is Saturday night
Every moment is full of excitement and possibility, like a carefree weekend evening
This isn't only about another
This isn't just a tribute to someone else or an outside influence
And there is no simple explanation
It's difficult to express or understand the meaning of this experience
And to express deep respect
To show admiration and honor
Please accept this as a sensation
Understand and appreciate this as an emotional experience
The past of letters in line
The sequence of events that led up to this present moment
It happens, all impossibly
It occurs in a way that seems unbelievable or unlikely
From where the feeling comes
The source of this emotion is unknown
Not sure how again it runs
Uncertain how this occurrence will happen again in the future
In solitary deep together
Although alone, we are connected in a profound way
There is a seem between the breath
A separation or subtle difference between the inhalation and exhalation of air
And the staired descent we back up
The difficult steps we must take to move forward
In which direction will get us out
Which path will lead us to escape this situation
Homage, homage Is coming back around Coming back through you To something I can't understand
The act of paying tribute or respect is returning to us, though we don't fully comprehend how or why
I'm just a simple man
I'm not capable of fully understanding or explaining this experience
Homage, homage Is coming back around Coming back through you To something I can't understand
The tribute or respect is continuing to return to us, though its meaning eludes us
Homage, homage Homage, homage Homage
The cycle of tribute, respect, and admiration is continuing indefinitely

@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
It is!
