Comfort
khazali Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These eyes hang over you
And you don′t know where to start
These eyes follow a groove
Where am I going?
Where are my people?
How did I lose it?

When the water comes to wash us down
Liquid borderlines to help us drown
Paint a picture for your comfort
I won't come for you now
Now
When the interloper helps us out
Learn a symbol, tried to fix my crown
Paint a picture for your comfort
I won′t come for you now
Now

Each time, I never do
'Cause I know how this goеs down
Each time, follow a groove
All of the colours back in Novеmber
Hard to pretend now

When the water comes to wash us down
Liquid borderlines to help us drown
Paint a picture for your comfort
I won't come for you now
Now
When the interloper helps us out
Learn a symbol, tried to fix my crown
Paint a picture for your comfort
I won′t come for you now
Now
When the water comes to wash us down
Liquid borderlines to help us drown
Paint a picture for your comfort
I won′t come for you now
Now
When the interloper helps us out
Learn a symbol, tried to fix my crown
Paint a picture for your comfort




I won't come for you now
Now

Overall Meaning

In Khazali's song "Comfort," the lyrics depict a sense of confusion and loss of direction. The first two lines, "These eyes hang over you, And you don't know where to start," suggest the feeling of being watched or judged, while also feeling stuck or unsure about what to do next. The following lines, "Where am I going? Where are my people? How did I lose it?" convey a sense of disorientation and detachment from one's support system.


The chorus of the song reinforces the theme of feeling alone and drowning in uncertainty. The lines "When the water comes to wash us down, Liquid borderlines to help us drown" use water as a metaphor for overwhelming emotions and the feeling of being pulled under. The repetition of the phrase "Paint a picture for your comfort" implies the act of trying to create a facade of comfort, even when it may not be genuine. The line "I won't come for you now" suggests a sense of apathy towards seeking help or support from others.


The verse "Each time, I never do 'cause I know how this goes down, Each time, follow a groove, All of the colours back in November, Hard to pretend now" depicts a cycle of repeating the same patterns and habits, despite knowing it may not lead to a positive outcome. The mention of "November" could be a reference to a past event that holds significance for the singer, and how it is getting harder to ignore or push away.


Overall, "Comfort" showcases the struggle to deal with overwhelming emotions while feeling lost and disconnected from one's surroundings.
