Here With You
Tex La Homa Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I didn't see the signs on my way by
Must have had my eyes closed
Never thought to question why
The sky has been dark forever
No hint of end insight
In spite of all my efforts
I'm still sitting here tonight

What did you say your name is
I don't think I heard
There must be some mistake
I'm sure I've been here before
Out of all this confusion
You bring me back down to earth

You found the solution
To keep me here with you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Tex La Homa's song "Here With You" can be interpreted as a reflection on a difficult time in the singer's life. The opening lines suggest that the singer wasn't paying attention to warning signs or issues that were arising, and as a result, they've found themselves stuck in darkness. Despite their efforts to change the situation, they're still in the same place, feeling lost and confused.

However, the second half of the song introduces another character who provides a sense of stability and grounding for the singer. They ask the person's name but admit they may have been there before. This could suggest a feeling of being lost or disconnected from reality, but the other person brings them back down to earth and provides a solution for feeling trapped - being "here with you."

Overall, the song seems to be about finding someone or something that can provide stability and clarity during tough times. It's a reminder to pay attention to warning signs, and to seek out connections and support when they're needed.

Line by Line Meaning

I didn't see the signs on my way by
I was oblivious to the warning signs in my path

Must have had my eyes closed
Perhaps I was blinded by my own desires and hopes

Never thought to question why
I didn't ponder the reason for my struggles

The sky has been dark forever
Life has been dreary and depressing for an indefinite amount of time

No hint of end insight
I see no indication of a conclusion to my hardships

In spite of all my efforts
Although I've put in arduous work to better my situation,

I'm still sitting here tonight
My present circumstance has not changed, leaving me stagnant

What did you say your name is
May I kindly ask you for your name?

I don't think I heard
I apologize, for I may not have caught your name earlier

There must be some mistake
I believe there has been an error in my perception

I'm sure I've been here before
I feel as if I've experienced this situation previously
