Homeless
Yoe Mase Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wouldn't read your face like I read your letters
I pray to myself, I'll reverse the problems
You can sit back and relax, I'll solve 'em
But I won't burn out all my hands, I'm kneeling
I will take control of all these fears I'm feeling
Let me be a part of endless moments
I wish I didn't know you so well, we would be much better
And go embrace the sun, and I go face the weather
It's just so hard trying to be good
Why do you make me feel so misunderstood?
But I won't burn out all my hands, I'm kneeling
I will take control of all these fears I'm feeling
Let me be a part of endless moments
Baby, without you I am homeless
In Yoe Mase's song "Homeless," the lyrics express a conflicted emotions and feelings after a break up. It starts with a wish that the singer didn't know the other person so well. The familiarity of the person is causing pain and hindering the process of moving on. The singer is hyper-aware of the smallest facial expressions and can read between the lines of every message, which is only making it harder. This pain makes the singer turn inward, instead of lashing out at the other person. They pray to themself that they can solve these problems and make everything better, allowing the other person to sit back and relax while they do so.
However, the singer also acknowledges that they can't become consumed by this pain, or it will consume them. They can't burn out their hands and become overwhelmed, so they will take control of their fears and take charge of the situation. They still yearn to experience endless moments, but they know they can't do it without this other person. The final lyrics state that life without this person makes them feel homeless. This doesn't just refer to a physical home, but the feeling of belonging and safety that comes with being in a loving relationship.

"The fallen soldier watches over the City he fought to take, at the place his Body was laid to rest, Watching quietly as the City is rebuilt and the lives of the people he and his comrades liberated moves to the future. He's proud at the sacrifice he has made, But he is never forgotten as the remnants of the war and His resting place are memorialized for the people to Never Forget. Days, weeks, months and years go by, but he is never forgotten. He, once a homeless man, Brave Soldier, Now a Spirit, His home, watching over those who come to pay their respects to the past."
