Coffee For Dinner
Orion Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This heres a dream I don′t plan on letting go
I can't breathe, suffocating so close
Just hope you remember, hope you remember
That late night in winter
You saw a winner when I felt like a loser
Coffee for dinner kept me warm in the cold
Often often
Tryna′ see you often
Call you when I'm off then
Workin' til the morning
Giving up so easy
I think about it often
Don′t think about it often
Often, oh
Workin′ two jobs
Till I finally got a whip
Crossing state lines
Hopin I could feel somethin'
I can′t breathe suffocating so close
Just hope you remember, hope you remember
That late night in winter
You saw a winner when I felt like a loser
Coffee for dinner kept me warm in the cold
But I never was alone, no
Often often
Tryna' see you often
Call you when I′m off then
Workin' till the morning
Giving up so easy
I think about it often
Don′t think about it often
Often
Often, often
Tryna see you often
Call you when I'm off then
Workin' til the morning
Giving up so easy
I think about it often
Don′t think about it often
Often, Oh
Orion Sun's song Coffee For Dinner is an emotional, honest take on personal growth and change. The song begins with the singer remembering a time when she slept in someone's bed because she had nowhere else to go. She reminisces on the moment, describing it as a dream she doesn't plan on letting go, perhaps indicating that the situation was a pivotal moment in her life. She then goes on to talk about feeling suffocated and needing to breathe, further emphasizing her emotional state during this time. The chorus is a plea for this person to remember a late night in winter, where they saw her as a winner when she felt like a loser. The line "coffee for dinner kept me warm in the cold" adds a touch of nostalgia, highlighting the simplicity of that moment.
The second verse delves deeper into the singer's personal struggles, working two jobs until she finally got a car and crossing state lines hoping to feel something. She again mentions feeling suffocated, adding to the sense of anxiety and despair that is woven throughout the song. The chorus repeats, highlighting the importance of this person's belief in her during this dark period in her life. The bridge "often, often, tryna see you often" conveys a sense of longing and a desire for a connection with this person. The repetition of "often" is interesting because it creates a rhythm throughout the song that emphasizes a sense of familiarity and comfort, contrasting with the instability and chaos of the singer's life.
Overall, Coffee For Dinner is a powerful and vulnerable ballad that explores themes of personal growth, struggle, and the importance of having someone who believes in you. It's a beautiful example of how music can express complex emotions in a way that connects with others.
