Hush
Shell Punk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I asked myself 'where did we lose home?'
Still I feel your presence here
No change throughout a year
Returning to the places we once roamed
I asked myself 'Where did we lose home?'
Still I, still I feel you here
I come back, back, back, back
And I'm gonna waste, waste myself for another taste, taste of you
You don't have to wait, wait, wait for me
No, I won't be late, late, late
Now watch me choke, choke, choke
On the smoke swath that I call your ghost
Not to be enough is what hurts the most
Not to be enough is what, what, what hurts the most
I'm a floating coffin in search for the coast
I come back, back, back, back
To get some new cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks
And I'm gonna waste, waste myself for another taste, taste of you
You don't have to wait, wait, wait for me
No, I won't be late, late, late
Now watch me choke, choke, choke
On the smoke swath that I call your ghost
Not to be enough is what hurts the most
I wasn't even worth goodbye
Sweet hush was your farewell

Returning to the places we once roamed
Starting to revisit the places where we used to spend time together
I asked myself 'where did we lose home?'
Wondering where we lost the feeling of being at home with each other
Still I feel your presence here
Despite the distance, I still feel your presence around me
No change throughout a year
Despite the passage of a year, nothing has changed between us
I come back, back, back, back
Returning again and again to the memories of our past
To get some new cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks, cracks
To find something new to fill the emptiness in my heart
And I'm gonna waste, waste myself for another taste, taste of you
I'm willing to throw myself away just to have another taste of your love
You don't have to wait, wait, wait for me
I don't want you to wait for me because I know I won't be coming back
No, I won't be late, late, late
I won't be coming back, no matter how long it takes
Now watch me choke, choke, choke
Now watch me struggle with the pain of letting you go
On the smoke swath that I call your ghost
On the remnants of your presence, which I can still feel even though you're gone
Not to be enough is what hurts the most
The most painful thing is not being enough for you
I'm a floating coffin in search for the coast
I feel like I'm dead inside, just drifting aimlessly in search of a way out
I wasn't even worth goodbye
You didn't even think I was worth saying goodbye to
Sweet hush was your farewell
Your way of saying goodbye was to just leave me in silence
