Homeless
NICO VINZ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or is it a Sunday?
Every damn day feels like the same day
This job I've chosen
Is like a runway
Where I'm displaying my life
But now I'm going
I'm going
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
Yeah, I'm going
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
But once I got there
I felt as if I was homeless
Homeless
I felt as if I was homeless
Na na na
Raised on Pluto, my parents from Venus
Where am I from, sometimes I don't feel like I'm from neither
On my own little planet
That's where I've landed
And I ain't searching no more
I was looking for
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
Oh, whoa, oh whoa
But once I got there
I felt as if I was homeless
Homeless
I felt as if I was homeless
I am thinking home
I am going home
Where my heart has keys
Where my soil will seed
I am thinking home
I am going home
Where my heart has keys
But once I got there
I felt as if I was homeless
Homeless
I felt as if I was homeless
Homeless
Homeless
The lyrics of NICO & VINZ’s song “Homeless” reflect the artist’s feelings of being lost and unsure of their identity. The opening lines, “I’m caught in a Monday / Or is it a Sunday?,” suggest a sense of confusion and monotony that characterizes the singer’s daily life. They feel uninspired by their job, which is compared to a runway, a space for displaying oneself but ultimately lacking in substance.
The chorus of “Homeless” reveals the singer’s search for a sense of belonging - “I was looking for...But once I got there / I felt as if I was homeless.” The repetition of the line “I felt as if I was homeless” emphasizes how the singer doesn’t feel at home in the places they’ve sought out.
The verses of the song offer a more abstract reflection on the singer’s search for identity. They describe being “raised on Pluto” with parents from Venus and feeling like they’re on their “own little planet.” This language captures the feeling of being an outsider or not fitting in with a particular community. The singer ultimately decides that they are done “searching” and must turn inward to find a sense of home in their heart.
