Homesick
Myrrh Larsen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clutching the empty night air in the wake of a lullaby.
(with you...)
Haunted, by the language of quiet gestures:
Your hand upon mine as a silence falls over the world.
Take me with you...
The lyrics to Myrrh Larsen's song Homesick reflect a sense of longing and nostalgia for a past or idealized version of home. The opening lines, "Homesick, for the blues of the vacant sky," evoke a yearning for a familiar and comforting sense of beauty and tranquility. The following phrase, "Clutching the empty night air in the wake of a lullaby," conveys a sense of reaching out for something that is just out of reach, perhaps a memory or a dream.
The next line, "Haunted, by the language of quiet gestures," expands on this idea of unfulfilled longing, suggesting that the singer is haunted by the idea of something that was once within their grasp but has since slipped away. The image of "Your hand upon mine as a silence falls over the world" amplifies this feeling of intense but fleeting connection.
Finally, the repeated refrain of "Take me with you..." provides a clear and urgent message of longing, implying that the singer is desperate to hold on to some glimmer of the past, or to find a new sense of home and belonging elsewhere.
Overall, Homesick is a powerful and evocative song that captures the feeling of searching for home, longing for connection, and the bittersweet memory of something that is just out of reach.

Awesome sound texture creativity. The dissonance blends into "the pleasing" and back again. This is good!
You nailed it. Takes me to when I was "that kind" of sick. The puppet thing, dude, all of it.
I want this to be longer.
