Lately
Haven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
still won't make me proud
feels so right, yet wrong again
covered by these shrouds
cos nobody lately, looks like you do
and nobody lately, sounds like you do
as I'm moving around again
there's no sight or sound
and who knows where there bound
cos nobody lately, looks like you do
and nobody lately, sounds like you do
and as I'm moving up again
I can see it with my eyes
there's a sun cloud that's moving down
I've seen my face back in the crowd, and I know
can't feel myself no more, oh oh
cos nobody lately, looks like you do
and nobody lately, sounds like you
nobody lately, looks like you do
nobody lately, feels like you
looks like you
sounds like you
touches like you
The lyrics to Haven's song "Lately" express the feelings of someone who feels lost and disconnected from the people and world around them. The first verse talks about the hostile feeling in the air, and how it's difficult to feel proud of anything. The second verse talks about the mistakes that the singer makes, and how nobody else seems to compare to the one person they miss. The chorus repeats the phrase "nobody lately, looks like you do, and nobody lately, sounds like you do," emphasizing the unique connection the singer had with this person.
The third verse describes the singer's journey towards clarity, as they are able to see more clearly and understand their place in the world. However, they still feel disconnected from themselves and others; they can't feel themselves anymore. The last lines of the song repeat the refrain once more, adding the line "touches like you," suggesting a physical connection that is also missed.
Overall, the lyrics express a sense of longing for connection and understanding in a world where it's difficult to find it. The repetition of the line "nobody lately, looks/sounds like you do" creates a sense of yearning for a lost connection, while the final line "touches like you" adds a physical component to the longing.
