Baltimore
Hodera Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When we made out on the couch at that guy's house
And though I doubt that anyone could help me now
I still can't calm down
'Cause that one night that we spent in Baltimore
It was so nice but then you left me wanting more
And the sunrise the next morning in your eyes
But black ice, I didn't notice it was there
Yea sometimes things are not as they appear
And that's not your fault I know the guidelines weren't clear
But now you're fine and I'm just trying my best to steer
I don't want to believe when we're older
That you won't remember my name anymore
And I don't want to believe this is over
So I send my heart to Baltimore
I wonder what you're doing in this moment
You're sister she told my friend that you found love
Well that's not fair
When I was laying in your bed and stroking your hair
Did you wish that he was there?
Oh your kiss, it's like a blanket made of wool
And though it's so warm, it's too small
My feet are cold
Yea I need more
A call back would help for sure
You're so distant
It's like we've never met before
I don't want to believe when we're older
That you won't remember my name anymore
And I don't want to believe this is over
So I send my heart to Baltimore
And I don't want to believe when we're sober
That the love we found ran out the night before
And I don't want to believe this is over
So I send my heart to Baltimore
So I send my heart to Baltimore
The song Baltimore by Hodera is about longing for a past lover and reminiscing about a special night spent with them in Baltimore. The first verse describes how the singer has no one left to talk to about their time with their lover, and how the memory of making out on a couch at a guy's house still affects them. Despite knowing that no one can help them now, the memory of that night in Baltimore still keeps them from calming down. The chorus then talks about that one night they spent in Baltimore and how it was so nice that it left the singer wanting more. The sunrise in their lover's eyes the next morning made the singer believe that their relationship was more than just one night. However, the line "but black ice, I didn't notice it was there" implies that there was something the singer overlooked. Sometimes things are not as they appear, and the singer admits that it's not their lover's fault and that the guidelines weren't clear. Nonetheless, their lover is fine now, and the singer is trying their best to steer.
The second verse reflects on the singer's feelings for their lover and about how they wonder what their lover is doing in that moment. The singer's sister told their friend that their lover has found love, which was not fair to the singer. The singer remembers lying in bed with their lover, stroking their hair, and wonders if their lover wished that someone else was there. The line "your kiss, it's like a blanket made of wool, and though it's so warm, it's too small" suggests that their lover's affection is not enough for the singer. They need more, and a call back from their lover would help. But their lover has become distant, and it's like they've never met before. The chorus repeats, with the singer still hoping that their lover will remember them and that their relationship is not over.
Overall, the song Baltimore by Hodera is a bittersweet reflection on a past relationship and how the memory of a special night spent together still lingers. The singer longs to be with their lover again and wishes that their relationship was more than just one night in Baltimore. The song captures the melancholic feeling of nostalgia and the desire to hold onto something fleeting.

It’s the first day of October 2021, and I feel as if it’s better late than never to hear this song. Part of me wants to wrap myself up in a blanket in bed and cry a little but then there’s a part of me that wants to dance around the house and sing along and smile.
