Steven Loki Howell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
from this Nashville sublet,
reminds me of your brunette hair,
and all of our pictures from there.
Home, i've lost home,
but i've grown, to know.
i've shouldn't have let you pass,
We could of worked it out,
We would of made it last.
This coffee I just take,
to ease the nerve of my ache.
It reminds me of our lakeside pier,
I didn't know you could take me here
In Steven Loki Howell's song "Someone," the singer reflects on a lost love and the memories it brings. The opening lines refer to the singer's current location in a Nashville sublet, but a California sunset reminds him of his past love with her brunette hair and pictures they took together. The repetition of "home" conveys the singer's sense of displacement and loss following the end of the relationship, but also the recognition that he has grown and changed.
The next stanza laments the singer's failure to hold onto the love they had, and the regret that they could have worked things out and made it last. The final lines bring us back to the present moment as the singer drinks coffee to ease his pain, and this sensory experience brings back a memory of a happy time with his lover on a lakeside pier.
