School Rooftop
hisohkah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You look so beautiful
When I held your hand
When you wore my coat
We could've been permanent
But then things turned to shit
And you slit my throat
When you wore my coat
Fell asleep on the sofa
In my dream you appeared as a cobra
Faintly smell your aroma
Well my eyes stay shut forever
I keep on falling down
I'm falling
I keep on falling down
I'm falling
Tell me is it real
I can't feel the pain no more
I just need to heal
Searching for my way back home
Tell me is it real
I can't feel the pain no more
I just need to heal
Searching for my way back home
I found my way I don't wanna stay
Maybe we're better off this way
So many objects in my way
Yeah, yeah
You don't know the half of this at all
If I go down you'll break my fall
I'm sorry I missed your call
Yeah
The song "School Rooftop" by Hisohkah is a heart-wrenching track that speaks of a failed relationship. The lyrics are simple yet impactful, with each line conveying the pain and longing of the singer. The song's opening lines "Felt so magical, You look so beautiful" describe the initial stages of the relationship where everything felt perfect. The singer fondly remembers holding hands with their partner and feeling a strong connection. However, the following lines "We could've been permanent, But then things turned to shit, And you slit my throat, When you wore my coat" reveal that eventually, the relationship took a tragic turn, and the singer was bitterly hurt. The mention of the coat is significant as it symbolizes how something so mundane and materialistic became a trigger for the relationship's downfall.
The second verse of the song delves deeper into the singer's psyche. The lines "Fell asleep on the sofa, In my dream you appeared as a cobra" signify the sense of betrayal and hurt that the singer still feels even in their dreams. The aroma of the partner lingers, indicating that they cannot escape the memories of the past. The lines "Well my eyes stay shut forever, I keep on falling down, I'm falling" demonstrate the sense of despair and hopelessness that the singer feels. The chorus, "Tell me is it real, I can't feel the pain no more, I just need to heal, Searching for my way back home" showcases the singer's confusion and desire to move on from the pain.

Felt so magical
I experienced an otherworldly feeling
You look so beautiful
I think you are stunning in appearance
When I held your hand
I felt a physical connection with you
When you wore my coat
You wore clothing that belonged to me
We could've been permanent
Our relationship had potential to last
But then things turned to shit
Our situation deteriorated
And you slit my throat
You betrayed and hurt me
Fell asleep on the sofa
I became unconscious on a piece of furniture
In my dream you appeared as a cobra
In my unconscious state, you were represented as a venomous snake
Faintly smell your aroma
I can almost detect your scent
Well my eyes stay shut forever
I will not open my eyes again
I keep on falling down
I am constantly losing ground
I'm falling
I am in a state of decline
Tell me is it real
I am unsure if this is genuine
I can't feel the pain no more
I cannot perceive any suffering
I just need to heal
I must mend my wounds
Searching for my way back home
I am seeking my path to safety
I found my way I don't wanna stay
I discovered my exit and do not want to remain
Maybe we're better off this way
Perhaps our separation is optimal
So many objects in my way
Numerous obstacles impede me
You don't know the half of this at all
You are unaware of the intensity of my situation
If I go down you'll break my fall
If I fail, you will be there to prevent my complete collapse
I'm sorry I missed your call
I regret not answering your attempt to communicate

I’m 45. I read all your comments and I just want to tell you that no matter how unprepared you might feel, I want you to know this much right now, ok?!
Find a mentor who’ll be able to provide you guidance in this wild and crazy ride we know as life.
Spend your 20’s going to school and raising your value. Use your 30’s to start a family. But no matter what, always go after what is in your heart - Regardless of what anyone else might think. But be sure to use your eyes and mind in the process as well.
If I might suggest, join the Coast Guard or the Navy. See the world. Earn money for college through the G.I. Bill, but explore the world first before settling down. But no matter what, go after what you want even if it seems silly to others. And even it does, don’t worry about them!
I live with a few regrets. I’ve made a few, but then again too few to mention. But I did what I had to do. But through it all, I stood tall and did it my way.
You do the same!

There was this video I saved
At a ending of a arc
It was snowing in a city and it looked nostalgic. Especially with the starting of this song..
I felt good that I saved it and I wanted to feel nostalgic again and the account must’ve deactivated it bc I can’t find the video anymore….
I decided I wanted to capture my own moment like that and put this music on it ,….

Today was great, relaxing and appreciative. I love my life so much, have big dreams and want to make a difference in the world. The earth is so big, and life is quite short, but really good. I look forward to challenging the stresses of adulthood someday, and wish to make the best in my life with all my heart. Take every opportunity I can, see what life all has to offer for my grateful soul. I love everything, i love life.
Next edit tomorrow
