Homesick
The Cure - Disintegration (Remastered) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey hey, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move when my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh, it was sweet, it was wild, and oh how we
I trembled, stuck in honey
Honey, cling to me
So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo

Oh, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today

So just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
To never go home





Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Cure's song Homesick are quite powerful and evocative. Just one more, and the singer will walk away. All the everything they have won has turned to nothing today. They forget how to move when their mouth is dry, and their eyes are "bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky." The repetition of "just one more" seems to suggest a desire to escape from something or someone, to keep going just a little further before letting go.


However, there is also a sense of longing and nostalgia throughout the song. The singer remembers how sweet and wild something was, and how they trembled while being stuck in a sort of honey-like state. There's a certain sense of comfort in clinging to something or someone, and the singer seems to be seeking that comfort once again.


The chorus repeats the idea of "just one more go," with a desire to never go home. There is a sense of wanting to hold onto something, to continue experiencing whatever it is that's being sought after, without having to return to the mundanity of everyday life. The repetition of the doo doo doos at the end of the song further emphasizes this idea of holding onto something, repeating it over and over again until it becomes almost hypnotic.


Overall, Homesick is a deeply emotional song with a mixture of desperation and longing. While the lyrics may not be completely clear, there is a sense of wanting to hold onto something, even if it means going further and further away from what is safe and comfortable.


Line by Line Meaning

Hey hey, just one more and I'll walk away
I'm ready to leave, but I need one last thing before I go.


All the everything you win turns to nothing today
Everything I've won feels worthless right now.


And I forget how to move when my mouth is this dry
I'm so drained that I can't even function anymore.


And my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
I'm seeing the world through a painful, twisted filter.


Oh, it was sweet, it was wild, and oh how we
Despite the turmoil, there were good times.


I trembled, stuck in honey
I was caught up in something beautiful, but also suffocating.


Honey, cling to me
Hold onto me, support me through this.


Just one more go
I need just a little more to get me through.


Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
Motivate me to keep going, to never give up and return home defeated.

Oh, just one more and I'll walk away
I need that one last thing before I can leave.


All the everything you win turns to nothing today
Everything I've gained feels worthless right now.


So just one more
I need just one more thing to help me move forward.


Just one more go
One last attempt to make things right.


Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
Help me find the strength to keep pushing forward and never give up.


To never go home
To never return to defeat, to keep moving forward no matter what.


Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Instrumental

LYRICS:

Hey hey, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget when to move when my mouth is this
Dry and my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh it was sweet, it was wild and oh how we
I trembled, stuck in honey
Honey cling to me, so just one more
Just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo)
(Doo doo doo doo doo)
Oh just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
So just one more, just one more go inspire in me
The desire in me to never go home
To never go home
(Doo doo doo doo doo doo)

Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Hey, hey
Just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
And I forget how to move when my mouth is this dry
And my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-stained sky
Oh it was sweet, it was wild
And, oh, how we
I trembled, stuck in honey, honey
Cling to me
So just one more, just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
Do-do-do, do-do-do, do, do, do
Do-do-do, do-do, do

[Verse 2]
Ah, just one more and I'll walk away
All the everything you win turns to nothing today
So just one more, just one more go
Inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
To never go home
Do-do, do, do, do, do, do
Do-dum

[Instrumental Outro]

Hej, hej! Už jen jednou a půjdu opravdu pryč
Všechno, co jsi získala se dnes mění v nic
Zapomněl jsem, kdy se pohnout, když jsou má ústa
Suchá a mé oči jsou jako puklá srdce v krvavě-
Zbarvené obloze, ach, bylo to sladké, bylo to divoké a
Jak jsme.. třásl jsem se zachycený v miláčkovi, miláčku
Drž se mě tak ještě jednou, jen ještě jednou
A inspiruj se ve mně touhou, která nikdy nepůjde domů

Ach, už jen jednou a půjdu pryč od toho
Všeho, co jsi získala a co se dnes mění v nic, tak
Už jen jednou, už jen jednou se mnou inspiruj
Touha ve mně ale nikdy nepůjde domů

absolute masterpiece honestly one of the greatest albums of all time

Disintegration really is on a whole other level than all other Cure albums, as good as they are. Especially when you take into account it has Lullaby and Lovesong but in actuality every single song is totally astral, introspective and transcendent. Disintegration just does everything better. It’s brooding, it’s dark, it’s sexy, it’s tragic, it’s intense, it’s profound. It’s a true masterpiece.This was the peak of The Cure

@MrSodan11

True. 2019 (30 years anniversary) - expecting some special concerts - maybe some of the great B-sides they never played live :)

@jalguitarman

This was indeed their best album. This many years later and it still strikes a chord with me.

@trevorb7645

Its said that at the time Smith wrote this album, he was doing psychedelics...mushrooms, LSD, acid.

@kenweitzel577

On the same level as Dark side of the moon

@MrJameschance

Don’t know why but this song was my perfect flight takeoff song. Have played this in countless flights and used to time the runway takeoff at 2:28 and then just stare out the window as we hovered into the clouds. Can’t describe that minuscule moment of bliss. I love Homesick, I love The Cure.

@EmperorJinx151

That is so worth a try. Thanks for the thought.
