Homesick
Slut Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You say you like me with an empty kind of face
The kind of emptiness that makes me leave this place
Just show your body to the entire human race
But don't say you like me with that empty kind of face

You're looking confident, you never had a doubt
The kind of confidence that makes me want to shout
Just take your time to think of what it's all about
But please don't look as if you never had a doubt

Think it's time to go home
Time to go back home
To go back home

You use to speak as if you were innocent and clean
The kind of innocence that makes me want to scream
Just turn around and take a look behind the scene
But please don't speak as if you were innocent and clean

Think it's time to go home
Time to go back home
Think it's time to go home
Time for me to go back home
To go back home
To go back home
To go back home
To go back home

Think it's time to go home
Time to go back home
Think it's time to go home




Time for me to go back home
To go back home

Overall Meaning

The song "Homesick" by the band Slut is a complex critique of the pressures to conform to societal expectations and norms. The lyrics describe a person who is disingenuous in their expressions of affection and confidence, and who masks their true feelings and motivations with a facade of innocence and cleanliness. The singer of the song is critical of this person's behavior and warns against falling prey to their empty promises and illusions.


The repeated refrain of "Think it's time to go home / Time to go back home / To go back home" suggests a longing for a return to authenticity and honesty, and a rejection of the superficiality and fake appearances that are prevalent in our culture. The use of the word "homesick" underscores this desire for a connection to one's true self and a sense of belonging.


Overall, the song gives voice to the frustrations and disillusionment that many people feel in a world that values image over substance, and encourages listeners to resist the pressures to conform and instead embrace their authentic selves.
