Homesick
Minnie-Oh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I really don´t know what to say
but you´re not here to listen anyway
If you paid attention all the times
I tried to tell you what I want in life

´cause I am tired of going out
of getting drunk, of ending up in fights
It´s time in life to make an add
I´m homesick for a home I´ve never had

And time is running really fast
but I can´t regret the choices of my past
And days are passing, months go by
but my body won´t unite my mind
And I don´t know what the future holds
but I only know what I dream of the most
to create a life, to bear a child
and protect it as the mission of my life

So stay by my side
don´t make me cry
Don´t leave me
I hate it when we say goodbye
So just hold me tight
Please make it right
´cause I need you
to tell me it will be alright
´Cause I need you to be certain
to be the safety of my life
So show me that you want this life too
´cause you know it´s true
I have no one but you
I have no family to turn to

´Cause I need you to be certain
to be the safety of my life
So show me that you want this life too
´cause you know it´s true
I have no one but you
I have no family to turn to
´Cause I need you to be certain
to be the safety of my life
So show me that you want this life too
´cause you know it´s true
I have no one but you
I have no family to turn to
So now I know what to do




I need to make my own
family with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Minnie-Oh's song "Homesick" convey a deep sense of longing and desire for stability and belonging. The singer opens by expressing a feeling of uncertainty and confusion, noting that even if they were to express themselves, there is no one there to listen. This sets the tone for a theme of loneliness and seeking connection.


The chorus reveals the singer's weariness of their current lifestyle, which involves partying, drinking, and getting into fights. They express a desire for change, a longing for a home that they've never had. This suggests that they have never truly felt a sense of belonging or rootedness, and this lack of stability has taken its toll on them.


The second verse reflects on the passage of time and the inability to change the choices made in the past. The singer feels a disconnect between their mind and body, suggesting a lack of harmony within themselves. They acknowledge their uncertainty about the future but hold on to their dreams, particularly the desire to create a life, bear a child, and devote themselves to protecting their family as their life's mission.


The bridge and final chorus highlight the importance of the person the singer is addressing. They plead for them to stay by their side, not to make them cry, and to make things right. They express a deep need for this person to provide a sense of safety and certainty in their life. The singer emphasizes their lack of family support, emphasizing the significance of this individual as their sole source of connection and belonging.


The closing lines of the song reveal the singer's realization that they need to create their own family with the person they're addressing. It showcases their desperation to build a stable, loving, and supportive unit with this person, as they feel that they have no other family to turn to. It's a vulnerable and heartfelt plea for unity, love, and the formation of a new family unit.
