Homesick
Navigating Loss and Longing: Homesick Reflections by Charlie Frecka
Lyrics
I saw my mama holding back her tears as hard as she could
I observed my mother trying to suppress her tears with great effort.
I saw the pain deep in her eyes and that's when I understood
I noticed the profound pain in her eyes, leading me to comprehend something was amiss.
That everything was gonna change and that it wouldn't be good
I understood that a significant and unfavorable change was imminent.
That things were taking a turn but not in the way that they should
Things were taking an unexpected turn, deviating from the expected course.
It was a sunny afternoon the day that everything changed
On a sunny afternoon, a pivotal moment occurred, altering everything.
Me and my friends were hanging out like any regular day
Spending time with friends on a typical day, unaware of the impending change.
That's when my mama came to me and then she pulled me aside
Mom approached me with a troubled look, prompting concern.
And I could tell something was wrong just by the look in her eyes
Her eyes revealed that something was wrong, intensifying my worry.
She told me, "You should get as much as you can out of this week"
Mom advised me to make the most of the week, causing a sinking feeling in my heart.
Right at that moment I could slowly feel my heart start to sink
I sensed that departure was imminent, overwhelming me with disbelief.
I had a feeling that it wouldn't be too long 'fore we leave
Anticipating a departure soon, struggling to process the overwhelming information.
It was so much for me to process that I couldn't believe
The situation was so much to absorb that disbelief persisted.
And still the tension was rising although I wanted to stay
Tension increased, despite my desire to stay.
That's when my parents came and told me we had no other way
Parents informed me of a lack of alternatives, emphasizing the severity of the situation.
I had a week to say goodbye before we hopped on a plane
A week was given to bid farewell before boarding a plane.
Knowing even if I go back it'd never feel the same
Even if I returned, the place wouldn't evoke the same emotions.
Knowing even if I go back it'd never feel same, yeah (Mmm)
Reiteration that the place wouldn't feel the same.
It'd never feel the same (It'd never feel the same)
Emphasizing the irreparable change in the familiar place.
Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick
Expressing the struggle to feel fine while experiencing homesickness.
Tryna feel alright but I'm homesick
Seeking a sense of normalcy but grappling with homesickness.
I'm just tryna get by but I'm homesick
Attempting to navigate life while homesick.
But I'm homesick, but I'm homesick
Reiteration of the emotional turmoil of homesickness.
Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick
Repetition of the struggle and emotional turmoil of homesickness.
Tryna feel alright but I'm homesick
-I'm just tryna get by but I'm homesick
-But I'm homesick, but I'm homesick
-Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick
-Tryna feel alright but I'm homesick
-I'm just tryna get by but I'm homesick
-But I'm homesick, but I'm homesick
-Russia where my childhood took place
Nostalgic reflection on childhood and experiences in Russia, emphasizing the sense of belonging.
A place that I really know
-A place I can call my own
-A place I can call my home, yeah
-A place I can call my home
-I was born and raised in Russia
-Spent all my days in Russia
-Felt love and hate in Russia
-Felt joy and pain in Russia
-Had my whole life in Russia
-Spent all my time in Russia
-All day and night in Russia
-We laughed and cried in Russia
-I wake up everyday and still feel like I'm stuck in a dream
Awakening daily with a feeling of being stuck in a dream due to an abrupt departure from Russia.
We left so suddenly I never got the closure I need
Leaving suddenly without closure, adding to the confusion.
My life in Russia was the only future that I could see
Feeling lost without a clear sense of where to belong.
And now I haven't got a clue, I don't know where I should be
Expressing confusion and uncertainty about the future.
I got so many questions
Possessing numerous unanswered questions.
Thoughts that I cannot deafen
Battling intrusive thoughts, possibly related to the abrupt change.
I think I'm falling under the weight of this depression
Weighed down by the burden of depression, feeling overwhelmed.
Now I got no direction
Directionless and without guidance, indicating a sense of loss.
Got pain I cannot lessen
Struggling with pain that seems insurmountable.
I see somebody broken and lost in my reflection
Seeing a broken and lost reflection of oneself.
Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick
Reiteration of the ongoing struggle with homesickness and internal battles.
I been losing my focus, struggling to find a motive
-I been losing hope while my doubts just keep growing
-Tryna take a step but don't know where I'm going
-I'm tryna
-I'm tryna, yeah
-Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick (Mmm)
-Tryna feel alright but I'm homesick (Mmm)
-I'm just tryna get by but I'm homesick
-But I'm homesick, but I'm homesick (Yeah)
-Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick
-Tryna feel alright but I'm homesick
-I'm just tryna get by but I'm homesick
-But I'm homesick, but I'm homesick
-Tryna feel just fine but I'm homesick
Repetition of the desire to feel fine while battling homesickness.
Tryna feel alright but I'm homesick
-I'm just tryna get by but I'm homesick
-But I'm homesick, but I'm homesick
