When Was I Last Home
The Dø Lyrics

White and grey stones
Referring to the small stones or pebbles lying in the water that are colored white and grey

Lying lazy in the flickering water
The stones are resting comfortably in the water that seems to be shimmering

White and grey...
Repeating the description of the stones for emphasis

White and grey stones
Again referring to the same small stones or pebbles lying in the water that are colored white and grey

Soft and shy like home-baked bread
The stones are tender and quiet, similar to the freshly baked bread made with warmth and care at home

Warmest mouthful
Suggesting the feeling of comfort and satisfaction that comes from eating warm bread or food

Let me have just a taste
Asking to get a brief moment of comfort and satisfaction like the one of eating warm bread

When was I last home ?
Questioning the last time the artist felt at home, a place where they feel warm and comfortable

If I see bones
In the case that the artist sees some bones

Along my way
On the path that the artist is taking at that moment

I might feel a little less alone
Seeing bones might make the singer feel that someone else is also on the same path as them, making them less lonely

Not so blue
The artist would feel less sad or melancholic

But since I can still recall your features
However, the singer can still remember the face of someone or something that they miss, preventing them from feeling completely fine

How can I complain ?
Asking a rhetorical question about how one can feel unhappy while still remembering something or someone that brings them comfort

How can I complain ?
Repeating the rhetorical question again for emphasis

When was I last home ?
Repeating the same question at the end of the song, emphasizing the longing and questioning of home
