when the hospital was my home
Powfu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Feel the wind blow, I can hear it in my left ear
Sounds like when you whisper to me but you're not around here
Life is slow, sleeping twelve hours a day, ay
Since I had my surgery, it's never been the same
I'm sick and it sucks and my friends barely visit
Every week that goes by, end up feeling more distant
Cried so many times trying to chip away my fear
Praying when I'm sad, thinking of our younger years
First night that you kissed me, cuddle watching Disney
Now I wait at night for a text that you miss me
Every second is a blessing when you're standing at my side
We didn't see this coming, it's okay to say goodbye

It's okay to say goodbye
But I hate saying goodbyes
Would you stay here longer?
Sorry, I'm not stronger

Speak to me with honesty, it's harder than we thought it'd be
Tell it to me straight, I don't want no probably's
Tell me when you're tired, 'cause I'm getting tired too
The rain is feeling heavy and the sky isn't so blue
Pills for my breakfast, promising they'll heal me
Hanging out with doctors and staring at the ceiling
My favorite days are Mondays when you come and see me
Wish you would stay longer, but I know it's not easy (yeah)
I was excited for that concert
Tell me all about it, did they sign your new Converse?
I don't wanna let go when we hug
One thing worse than dying is losing who you love

It's okay to say goodbye
But I hate saying goodbyes
Would you stay here longer?
Sorry, I'm not stronger

Yeah, noticed all the pain you had to deal with
Was sick of all the doctors lying, saying that you'd heal quick
It's been a couple days since you left us in that Hearse
Your girl just called me, said she's pregnant and that would've been my first
So shocked when she told me, why didn't she tell you?
She thought you'd leave the world to get your promises and fell through
You always talked about how you were ready for a son
Now you'll be watching over him free of pain
Hope that one day he'll look up and feel your love

When I get to Heaven, I'ma wait for you
Sorry for the things that I put you through




You had to watch me flat line
Wishing that we had time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Powfu's song "when the hospital was my home" paint a picture of a character who has undergone surgery and is now slow, sleeping for long hours, and spending time with doctors instead of friends. This leads to a feeling of distance between the character and his/her friends, who barely visit, making the situation even harder. The character misses the past, thinking about the younger years when he/she was not sick, cuddling with someone and watching Disney. Every second counts when you have people who care about you standing at your side, and waiting for a text that never comes. The character is aware that he/she might not make it and that it's okay to say goodbye, but at the same time, he/she hates to say goodbyes since they seem so final.


The second verse of the song focuses on the relationship between the character and the person speaking to him/her. They talk about honesty and the importance of speaking straight, even if it’s hard. The rain outside makes everything seem gloomy, and the only thing that makes the character excited is a weekly visit from his/her friend. The song brings up a deep sense of uncertainty and vulnerability, with the character taking pills for breakfast, staring at the ceiling, and hoping for a better tomorrow. The character just wants to talk about life, experience new things, and hold onto the people he/she loves.


The last verse changes the tone of the song from sadness to acceptance, as it describes the life of someone who passed away. The singer mentions a character who suffered from pain and was lied to by doctors who promised that he/she would heal quickly. The person left in a hearse, but the singer finds solace in the knowledge that the person's girlfriend is pregnant and will have a child who will feel the person's love. The song ends with a promise from the singer to wait for the person in heaven and an apology for putting the person through the things he/she had to endure.

I don't want to release you from the embrace when we hug


One thing worse than dying is losing who you love
Nothing hurts more than losing the one you love, even more than death


Yeah, noticed all the pain you had to deal with
I've observed all the anguish you've had to endure


Was sick of all the doctors lying, saying that you'd heal quick
I was tired of doctors misleading you into thinking that you'd heal soon


It's been a couple days since you left us in that Hearse
It's only been a few days since you departed in a hearse


Your girl just called me, said she's pregnant and that would've been my first
Your significant other contacted me, informing that she's pregnant and that it could have been your first child together


So shocked when she told me, why didn't she tell you?
I was surprised when she disclosed it to me instead of informing you directly


She thought you'd leave the world to get your promises and fell through
She thought you'd work tirelessly to achieve your promises, but unfortunately, it didn't happen


You always talked about how you were ready for a son
You always mentioned how prepared you were to have a son


Now you'll be watching over him free of pain
You'll watch over your child from above, without any pain or ailments


Hope that one day he'll look up and feel your love
I hope someday your newborn child will look up at the sky and sense your love


When I get to Heaven, I'ma wait for you
When I reach Heaven, I'll be waiting for you


Sorry for the things that I put you through
I apologize for the things I've put you through when we were together


You had to watch me flat line
You witnessed my heartbeat becoming flat, a possible cardiac arrest


Wishing that we had time
I'm wishing we had more time together before the end came

Lyrics:

v1
Feel the wind blow
I can hear it in my left ear
Sounds like when u whisper to me but u not around here
Life is slow
sleeping 12 hours a day
Since I had my surgery
its never been the same
Ya I’m sick and it sucks
And my friends barely visit
Every week that goes by
End up feeling more distant
cried so many times
Trynna chip away my fear
Praying when I’m sad
Thinking of our younger years
First night that u kissed me
Cuddle watching Disney
Now I wait at night
For a text that u miss me
Every second is a blessing
When ur standing at my side
We Didn’t see this coming its ok to say goodbye

Chorus
Its okay to say goodbye
But I hate saying goodbyes
Would u stay here longer
Sorry im not stronger

V2
Speak to me with honesty
Its harder than we’d thought it be
Just tell it to me straight
I don’t want no probably
Tell me when u tired cuz I’m getting tired too
the rain is feeling heavy
And the sky isn’t so blue
Pills for my breakfast
Promising they will heal me
(Hanging out with doctors and
Starring at the ceiling)
All my friends are doctors
My favourite days are Mondays
When u come and see me
Wish u would stay longer
But I know that its not easy
I was excited for that concert
Tell me all about it
Did they sign your new converse
i don’t wanna let go
When we hug
one thing worse than dying
is losing your love

Verse 3:
Noticed all the pain you had to deal with.
Was sick of all the doctors lying saying that you’d heal quick.
It’s been a couple days since you left us in that hearse.
Your girl just called me, said she’s pregnant... that would’ve been your first.
So shocked when she told me.
why didn’t she tell you?
She thought you’d leave the world thinking your promises had fell through.
You always talked about how you were ready for a son.
Now you’ll be watching over him, free of pain. Know that one day he’ll look up and feel your love.
