Recover
KITCHEN - James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
For the ones we have lost we have loved
Wash your hands
There's a thief of our breath
Stay inside
Stay alive
It will be alright
Stay inside
It will be alright
Nature needs a break
So we wait in our home
Our foxhole
I'm out of a job
Confronting my life
The walls of my home
It will be alright
It will be alright
Will he get better?
A cold
Will he get better?
Just a chill, a sore throat
Will he recover?
In a ward all alone
Will he recover?
He can't breathe without a machine to carry the load
It will be alright
It will be alright
We will remember
Your wicked sense of fun
We will remember
Now the circus has moved on
We will remember
Your last call was a song
We will remember
How to pass your spirit on
In the song "Recover" by James, the lyrics convey a sense of mourning and reflection on loss, especially in the midst of a global crisis. The opening lines "Cry for the ones we have lost we have loved, wash your hands, there's a thief of our breath" address the pain of losing loved ones and the importance of taking precautions to protect oneself from the unseen threat. The repetition of "Stay inside, stay alive, it will be alright" underscores the message of hope and resilience during difficult times.
The verse "Nature needs a break, so we wait in our home, our foxhole" touches on the idea that the current situation is a necessary pause for the environment and humanity to reset. The singer expresses personal struggles like being out of a job and confronting the walls of their home, reflecting the challenges faced by many individuals during this time of uncertainty.
The following lines ponder on the uncertainty of a loved one's health, with questions like "Will he get better? A cold, will he get better? Just a chill, a sore throat" showing the anxiety and fear surrounding the possibility of illness. The imagery of being in a ward all alone and needing a machine to breathe highlights the severity and isolation that can accompany sickness.
The concluding verses shift towards remembrance and celebration of a lost loved one's legacy, acknowledging their humor, presence, and the way they touched lives. The imagery of the circus moving on signifies the passing of time and change, yet the promise to keep their spirit alive through memories and shared experiences remains.
