Homeless
Marina Kaye Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With cozy chairs and broken cups
Memories piled up to the ceiling
Can they tell what I am feeling
I know this house outside and in
But three birds fly upon my skin
Lay my head down in the darkness
In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless
My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless
Heavy steps on hardwood floors
Into my room trough broken doors
Try to leave this day behind me
But peace will never find me
In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless
My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless
I have a place I can call my own
That's where I go 'til the night is gone
I travel my mind and into my heart
Nobody knows when I go that far
In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless
My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless
The song "Homeless" by Marina Kaye is deeply emotional and poignant, it paints a picture of a person who is physically present in their childhood home, yet feels utterly disconnected and lost. The opening lines "In this house where I grew up, with cozy chairs and broken cups" create a sense of familiarity and comfort, but it is immediately followed by "Memories piled up to the ceiling, can they tell what I am feeling," which suggests that although the house may be full of memories, they do not provide a sense of belonging or solace to the singer.
The second verse continues this theme of discomfort and anguish, with the image of "three birds fly upon my skin" representing the anxiety and restlessness that the singer feels. She longs for escape, symbolized by the repeated refrain of "I'm homeless," indicating that she feels lost and rootless, despite being surrounded by familiar surroundings.
The final verse offers a small glimmer of hope, that the singer has a place she can call her own, somewhere she can go "until the night is gone." It's unclear if this is a physical place or a mental one, but the line "nobody knows when I go that far" suggests that it is a private, inner journey that only she can take.
In summary, "Homeless" is a powerful and poignant song that explores the vast emptiness and longing of a person searching for a place to belong. Despite being surrounded by memories of her childhood home, the singer is unable to find the comfort and solace she craves, yet holds onto the hope of one day finding a place to call her own.

I grew up in this house that has cozy chairs and broken cups, and it's filled with memories that have piled up to the ceiling. I wonder if anyone can see what I am feeling.
I know this house outside and in
Even though I know every corner of this house, there are three birds that fly on my skin that I do not understand. I lay down in the darkness like I have done many times before.
In this bed where I rest

Heavy steps on hardwood floors
Into my room trough broken doors
Try to leave this day behind me
But peace will never find me
I hear heavy steps on the hardwood floors and broken doors as someone enters my room. I try to leave this day behind me, but peace will never find me. I am always struggling to find peace.
I have a place I can call my own
That's where I go 'til the night is gone
I travel my mind and into my heart
Nobody knows when I go that far
I have a place that I can call my own, where I travel in my mind and heart until the night is gone. Nobody knows when I go that far - it's a private place that I keep to myself.

In this house where I grew up
With cozy chairs and broken cups
Memories piled up to the ceiling
Can they tell what I am feeling
I know this house outside and in
But three birds fly upon my skin
Lay my head down in the darkness
Like so many nights before this
In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless
My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless
Heavy steps on hardwood floors
Into my room trough broken doors
Try to leave this day behind me
But peace will never find me
In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless
My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless
I have a place I can call my own
That's where I go 'til the night is gone
I travel my mind and into my heart
Nobody knows when I go that far
In this bed where I rest
I'm homeless
This house I know best
But I'm homeless
My hunger it grows
And it won't let me go
And it burns in my chest
I'm homeless

Je connaissais vaguement votre chanson pour l'avoir entendue
La musique est très belle et votre voix superbe
J'imaginais que vous étiez plus âgée
Bravo à vous
Je vous découvre grâce à l'émission de Faustine Bolaert et je tiens à vous féliciter
Quelle voix pour une si jeune fille
Votre amie a eu raison de croire en vous ainsi que votre tante
Évidemment je préfère les chansons en français car sinon je ne comprends pas les paroles
Continuez et surtout gardez la tête sur les épaules
E tout cas st malo doit vous changer de Marseille...

Aucune reconnaissance pour cette fille, le public a de la merde dans les oreilles. Elle mérite 100 fois plus, bravo à ceux qui comme moi la soutienne.

Qui est tu pour remettre en question le gout des autres ? Perso elle fait un peu trop Sia version Wish. Aucun univers propre a elle. Je prefere ecouter des artistes avec un reel univers a eux et une voix beaucoup moin performantes style trippie redd/mgk ou autres que elle.
