Headstone
Unveiling the Depths of Despair: Supergloom's 'Headstone' Reflection
Lyrics
Home, I should really go home
Expressing a desire to return home
Back to the people that I’ve always let down
Acknowledging a history of disappointing the people at home
The ones who are ashamed of how I turned out
Recognizing the disappointment and shame from those at home due to personal choices
I really should go
Contemplating the need to go home
I lost my place there, I know
Feeling out of place and disconnected from home
Displaced by babies that my high school bullies made
Feeling displaced by the offspring of past tormentors
The cretins seem to multiply and turnout all the same
Observing a pattern of negativity and uniformity in people
You don’t wanna know what I’m thinking
Hinting at dark or troubling thoughts
You don’t wanna see who I’ve been around
Indicating a reluctance to share experiences or acquaintances
I’m diseased, you should know
Expressing a sense of personal affliction
I don’t wanna go
Reluctance to leave despite the desire to
I wish I had anything
Yearning for any form of possession or improvement
The way my father has his faith
Desiring a sense of faith or conviction similar to the speaker's father
Cause logic’s never done me any favors
Reflecting on the lack of practicality or benefit from logical thinking
Home, that house is a headstone
Depicting home as a symbolic gravestone
That basement is the grave I grew up in
Associating the childhood basement with a metaphorical grave
My mother slept on the couch
Revealing a troubled family dynamic where the mother slept on the couch
I stayed up drinking
Admitting to staying up drinking, indicating personal struggles
I know I made her brain hemorrhage
Expressing guilt for causing distress to the speaker's mother
With all the stupid shit I did
Regretting past actions that negatively impacted the speaker's mother
Oh I wish they’d let her go
Expressing a desire for the mother's release from suffering
Let her go home
Wishing for the mother to find peace and return home
I wish I had anything
Reiterating the longing for something meaningful or positive
The way my father has his faith
Desiring a form of conviction or solace similar to the speaker's father
Cause logic’s never done me any favors
Reflecting on the limitations of logic in the speaker's life
When I’m looking chaos in the face
Facing chaos and challenges with a lack of clear solutions
You really think you’re gonna live forever
Challenging the assumption of eternal life
Well you better get started right now
Urging action and initiative to make the most of one's life
Hell is living in my mother’s mind
Describing a difficult mental state in the speaker's mother
It’s not a place you find underground
Contrasting the idea of suffering with the traditional concept of hell
I bet you think you’re suffering right now
Questioning the intensity of the listener's perceived suffering
