They’ve been the beneficiaries of a significant amount of free advertising recently, as their name has been borrowed (with a slight translation change) by Swedish pop duo Morabeza Tobacco. Gustav and Vanilla met when he saw her DJing at an underground club in Norrköping and was blown away by her set. Introductions were made, songs were swapped online and they decided that their shared musical taste made collaboration seem a worthwhile endeavour.

Almost Home
Morabeza Tobacco Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taxi car, leather seats
tropic haze, blue palm trees
you don't speak
you're not here
it feels like
we're running out of time cause

we are almost home

and I am to stoned to
show you how I feel
really feel about you
we are almost home
and I am to stoned to
show you how I feel
really feel about you

tiger sleeps, clouded mind
you and I
together still alone and

we are almost home
and I am to stoned to
show you how I feel
really feel about you
we are almost home
and I am to stoned to
show you how I feel
really feel about you
I can see the moon
looking out the window
Jupiter and mars
and the rings of Saturn

we are almost home
and I am to stoned to
show you how I feel
really feel about you
we are almost home
and I am to stoned to

show you how I feel
really feel about you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Morabeza Tobacco's "Almost Home" focus on a sense of disconnect and missed opportunities. The singer is in a taxi, surrounded by the beautiful imagery of a tropical setting with blue palm trees and a hazy atmosphere. However, there is someone else in the car with them who "doesn't speak" and "is not here." It seems as though they are physically present, but emotionally absent, leaving the singer feeling as though they are "running out of time." Despite being "to stoned," and unable to fully express their feelings, the singer is acutely aware of their surroundings, noticing even the planets visible in the sky.

The theme of being almost home is layered with meaning. On one hand, it could simply mean that they are physically close to their destination. However, it could also represent a missed chance at emotional closeness with the person in the car with them. The singer is "to stoned" to express themselves fully, and the silence of the other person leaves them feeling alone together.

Overall, the lyrics of "Almost Home" capture a sense of tension and unfulfilled longing. The beautiful setting around them is contrasted with the uneasy atmosphere within the car. The singer is grappling with their feelings and the missed opportunity to share them.
