Distrait
Homebound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The ones that hold some meaning,
Yet I digress into shit without much substance,
Self-deprecation in abundance.
Loosened the screws from the overthinking,
Nothing to lose but the weight I'm bearing.
Lost in a world of my own, I don't know where I'm going.
Trying to find a way for me to open up and let you see through my distant eyes,
All the things that I hide.
I let my woes pent up inside,
No means to vent I realised,
To everyone and to myself, I'm acting like somebody else.
And when it rains, it pours,
I should've said before.
I let this fester, tried to pretend that this was never on my mind.
Look into my eyes,
Show me what I hide.
When I can't let my feelings be known,
I let this sadness swallow me whole.
Watch the light fight the gloom,
Or the cold halt the bloom on the dreams that I thought would help me grow.
The lyrics of "Distrait" by Homebound delve into themes of emotional vulnerability and the struggles of expressing oneself. The opening verse showcases the difficulty of finding the right words that can convey one's true and honest feelings. The writer acknowledges that self-deprecation comes naturally to them, leading them to digress into "shit without much substance". However, they've "loosened the screws from the overthinking" and are ready to let go of the weight they've been carrying for so long. The second verse talks about feeling lost and empty, but knowing that they're still breathing. The writer wishes to open up and let someone see the things they've been hiding behind their "distant eyes". They acknowledge that they tend to keep their problems pent up inside, which leads to a feeling of helplessness. They wish to break free from this cycle of sadness and move forward.
The pre-chorus delves into the writer's realization that they've been pretending to be someone else both to themselves and others. They've let their problems fester and didn't communicate with others about how they were truly feeling, which culminated in a moment of "rain" when everything came crashing down. The chorus is an invitation to look into their eyes and see the things they've been hiding. In the final verse, the writer is trying to accept that their dreams may not turn out the way they had hoped, but they're still fighting to overcome the darkness and bloom. "Distrait" is a powerful ode to embracing vulnerability and facing one's problems head-on.
