Location
Freelance Whales Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am starting to sense your location
You are somewhere in the attic
Looking something close to tragic
Dating t-shirts and your mattress
I'm floating on the stairwell
With my toes grazed in the cedar
Thinking softly would a tender box leave them in
And what a flammable heart I've been given
You could be in several different places
I am sensing your location

I am starting to sense your location
You are somewhere in the basement
Beating on a makeshift drum kit
Songs that I can hardly stomach
I'm floating on the stairwell
With my fingers shaking frantic
Thinking softly what a concrete mess we live in

And what a ice box heart I've been given
You could be in several different places
I am sensing your location

You could be in several different places
I am starting to sense your locale now

I am to starting to sense your location
In an alternate dimension
In a country side of England
Spirits trapped inside the linens
And you're feeling quite at home there
Also feeling somewhat lonely
No one sees you in your pixelated fish nets
And your black and orange beret

You could be in several different places
I am sensing your location
You could be in several different places
I am starting to sense your locale now





Oh please believe the ghost in me
Is doing what I can to find you out

Overall Meaning

The song "Location" by Freelance Whales is a dreamy and reflective piece about trying to locate someone who is physically absent but still present in memory and emotion. The first verse is a vivid description of the imagery of a person being in the attic, surrounded by items that signify their present state of mind - dating t-shirts and a mattress that may symbolize a sense of isolation and loneliness. The singer is physically present in the same house but separated by the stairwell, which signifies the emotional distance and disconnect with the person's current state of mind. The tender box may represent a gesture of hope, an attempt to reach out and connect with the person's inner self.


The second verse brings in another set of imagery, this time of a person in the basement, playing a makeshift drum kit and creating music that is hard to bear. The singer is again just a step away, physically present but emotionally removed on the stairwell. The concrete mess may represent the harsh realities of everyday life and how they impact our emotional state, while the ice-box heart and flammable heart highlight the emotional distances between the two people.


In the final verse, the song shifts to a different location - an alternate dimension or a countryside in England, where the person is feeling lonely despite being at home. No one sees them in their pixelated fish nets and black and orange beret, symbolic of an identity that they are trying to project, possibly to mask their true feelings. The song ends with a plea to the "ghost" within the singer to keep searching for the person, to keep trying to locate them despite the physical and emotional barriers.

Oh please believe the ghost in me
I am imploring that you trust the spectral side of me


Is doing what I can to find you out
I am trying my best to locate you
