My Repair
Sons of the East Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where and when was I wrong am I ever right?
So I wait
Like a dog who is on his corner
Like a stray
Walk on back when I needed no one
I was wrong when I met you honey
Only love can cure my madness
Only love is my repair
is my repair
As I go where the time's rollin' on
And I don't know where I was when it all went wrong
So I wait
Like a dog who is on his corner
Like a stray
Walk on back when I needed no one
I was wrong when I met you honey
Up above yeah I'll race you there
Only love can cure my madness
Only love is my repair
is my repair
In my head don't know what I'll do
Showed up at home and baby just told you
But it's hard and then I thought this time
You're out of sight, but you ain't out of mind
Mind
I was wrong when I met you honey
Up above yeah I'll race you there
Only love can cure my madness
Only love is my repair
is my repair
is my repair
is my repair
The lyrics of "My Repair" by Sons Of The East are a reflection of the singer's introspective thoughts as he struggles to piece together the night and his emotions. He is feeling low and wonders where and when he went wrong in life. The singer's analogy of himself as a dog on his corner or a stray walking back when he needed nobody indicates his need for constant assurance or connection. The singer is aware that he was wrong when he met his lover and that only love can cure his madness. The last verse is a reflection of the singer's inner turmoil, as he is unsure about what to do and is confessing to his lover that he has been unfaithful. However, he also accepts that his lover is unable to forgive him and that he is still preoccupied with thoughts about her.
The song's lyrics evoke a sense of melancholy and the consequences of making the wrong choices in life. The metaphors of the dog and the stray reflect the singer's state of mind, while the constant repetition of "I was wrong when I met you" highlights his regret for his actions. The lines "Only love can cure my madness, Only love is my repair" shows the singer's longing for redemption and hope for future love.
Line by Line Meaning
Feelin' low as I piece together my night
Feeling down and trying to remember what happened last night
Where and when was I wrong am I ever right?
Questioning oneself, wondering if they ever make the right decisions
So I wait
Patiently waiting for something to happen or for answers
Like a dog who is on his corner
Waiting expectantly, like a dog waiting for its owner on a street corner
Like a stray
Feeling lost and without direction or purpose
Walk on back when I needed no one
Feeling independent in the past and not needing anyone's help
I was wrong when I met you honey
Regretting a past relationship and feeling like it was a mistake
Up above yeah I'll race you there
Striving to move on and improve oneself, possibly with the help of a higher power
Only love can cure my madness
Believing that love is the only thing that can heal and bring peace
Only love is my repair
Relying on love to fix any problems and make things right
As I go where the time's rollin' on
Moving forward in time, regardless of what has happened in the past
And I don't know where I was when it all went wrong
Feeling lost and unsure of how things went wrong or where to go from here
In my head don't know what I'll do
Feeling uncertain and indecisive about the future
Showed up at home and baby just told you
Possibly received bad news or got into a fight with a loved one
But it's hard and then I thought this time
Feeling overwhelmed and struggling, but optimistic that things will be better in the future
You're out of sight, but you ain't out of mind
Missing someone who is no longer there, but still thinking about them
