Epic
Tupelo Honey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think you should know that I'm feelin' better already
You probably shouldn't have left it up to me
No

There's not enough time in the day to prepare for my temper
I guess I'll just have to learn to let go
No one will be unchanged
If you're gone
Then I know
I'm stuck in this place that seemed beautiful
And all that I know
Is that somewhere
There's comfort in being alone

I think you should know that I'm feelin' better already
You probably shouldn't have left it up to me
It isn't so bad know that all the supports have been steadied
It didn't take long and I think that you would agree
No
No one will be unchanged

If you're gone
Then I know
I'm stuck in this place that seemed beautiful
And all that I know
Is that somewhere
There's comfort in being alone
Comfort in being alone

Leave your past and go
Leave your past

If you're gone
Then I know
I'm stuck in this place that seemed beautiful
And all that I know
Is that somewhere
There's comfort in being alone
That's where you are
Alone
That's where you are
Alone

If you're gone
Then I know
I'm stuck in this place that seemed beautiful
And all that I know




Is that somewhere
There's comfort in being alone

Overall Meaning

The song "Epic" by Tupelo Honey is a piece that explores the intricacies of human relationships and the emotions that come with them. The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer is feeling better after a tumultuous time, but perhaps it was an emotional rollercoaster that could have been avoided had the other person taken charge. The idea here is that sometimes it's easy for people to blame others for their emotional turmoil, but in the end, it's up to each individual to take care of themselves and manage their emotions.


The chorus of the song repeats, "If you're gone, then I know I'm stuck in this place that seemed beautiful, and all that I know is that somewhere there's comfort in being alone." This section of the song is arguably the most poignant, as it speaks to the idea that being alone can be comforting, despite the inherent sadness or loneliness that often comes with it. The lyrics convey the idea of recognizing that sometimes being alone is better than staying in a relationship that is emotionally draining or distressing.


Overall, the song seems to be about the ups and downs of human relationships, and how difficult it can be to navigate them. The lyrics suggest that people need to take care of themselves and that sometimes, being alone is the best way to do so.

Dude I'm going insane I want to listen to this version of the song so bad but why did they remove it?? I can only find acoustic versions and it makes me so sad I love this song in this version. :(

Hey Freckles

Right? They changed lead singers and thats why they re-recorded acoustic versions with the new lead vocalist. 😮‍💨
