Postcard
eat your heart out Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hope you're doing well
I think you know that I haven't moved an inch since you left here
(I haven't moved an inch since you left here)
I won't write it back to you
It all just goes to waste
There's only so much words can say
So instead all the post cards
I won't write back to you
I come there in it's place
I'll set my sights on somewhere far away
no matter how much things will go my way
Nothing feels like home
and now you're (?)
Searching for solace in all the places that you couldn't stay
I still got questions
I guess I'll have to wait
(nothing feels like)
I don't wanna write back to you
It all just goes to waste
There's only so much words can say
So instead all the post cards
Throw these words away
I don't wanna write back to you
I'll come there in it's place
And I haven't moved an inch since you left here
The song "Postcard" by Eat Your Heart Out is about a person receiving a postcard from someone they used to be close to. The opening lyrics, "I got your postcard, I hope you're doing well," reveals the singer's initial reaction upon receiving the postcard. However, she then goes on to reveal her true emotions, stating that she hasn't moved since the person left her. This suggests that the person she received the postcard from had a significant impact on her life and that their absence has left her feeling stuck and unable to move on.
The singer then addresses the postcard's writer, stating that she won't write back and that words can only say so much. Instead, she throws away the postcards and sets her sights on somewhere far away. This suggests that she is looking for a fresh start and perhaps wants to leave behind the memories of the person who sent her the postcard. The line "nothing feels like home" emphasizes how important this person was to her and how their absence has left her feeling lost.
Towards the end of the song, the singer suggests that the person who sent her the postcard is also searching for solace and that she still has unanswered questions. The final lines, "I haven't moved an inch since you left here," suggest that despite her desire to move on, she is still struggling to do so.
Overall, "Postcard" is a poignant and relatable song about the lingering effects of a significant relationship on a person's life.

I remember seeing these guys a while ago when supporting a Hands Like Houses tour, oh my god they've come far. Back then I thought they were good but needed a bit improvement and my god they delivered. Incredible job on the vocals.
