Uncomfortable
House Heroes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold hands, blue dress
Remember that
Remember that.
Do you miss the moon? I do.
All the stars above? I do. I do.
Don't breathe the air; it's contagious.
Do you care it's here?
Don't say "I do"
What you want won't seem right
What you need is tonight
Is to be yourself
Can you, can you be yourself?
Do you miss the moon? I do.
All the stars above? I do. I do.
Don't breathe the air; it's contagious.
Once again, do you mind it now?
Don't say "I do"
Don't say "I do"
(Uncomfortable)
Don't say "I do"
I can't forget you.
What you want is now.
The lyrics to House Heroes's song Uncomfortable are layered with imagery and emotions that convey a sense of nostalgia and longing. The opening lines "Dew on the grass, cold hands, blue dress, remember that, remember that" immediately evoke a sense of memory and the passing of time. The use of color and sensory details hint at the mood of the scene being described. The following lines "Do you miss the moon? I do. All the stars above? I do. I do." express a sense of yearning and desire for something that is no longer present. The repetition of "I do" emphasizes the intensity of this feeling.
The next lines "Don't breathe the air; it's contagious. Once again, do you mind it now?" introduce a new element of discomfort and unease. Perhaps the memory being reminisced about is now tainted by negative associations. This is further emphasized with "Don't say 'I do'" in response to the question of caring that "it's here" - whatever "it" may represent. The lyrics then shift to a directive to "be yourself" and a repetition of the earlier questions about longing for the moon and the stars. The song ends on a haunting note with "Don't say 'I do', I can't forget you. What you want is now."
Overall, the lyrics to Uncomfortable evoke a sense of longing, discomfort, and the bittersweet nature of memories. The use of specific sensory details, repetition, and a mix of nostalgia and unease contribute to the song's emotional power.
