Blood Orange
Navigating the Unseen: The Journey Within Blood Orange's Melancholy Hill
Lyrics
Nobody told you the lights don't mean you're home
Nobody informed you that the presence of lights doesn't signify being at home.
Did you forget all you've ever known?
Have you overlooked or neglected everything you've ever known?
Sweeping statements you let hang in the air that were so unfair
Making sweeping statements that linger in the air and seem unjust.
Nobody told you the line's not always clear
Nobody informed you that the boundary is not always clear.
When you know that you're everywhere but here
When you are aware that you exist everywhere but in the present moment.
Simulations of something once felt nice
Creating simulations of something that once brought comfort.
Did you not think twice?
Did you not reconsider your actions?
No, I know that I'm already home
Contrary to the earlier statement, the speaker acknowledges being already at home.
Up we come on Melancholy Hill
Ascending on Melancholy Hill, a metaphorical place associated with sadness.
Never felt so good to feel so ill
Experiencing a paradoxical sense of well-being while feeling unwell.
The blood orange backdrop fades to white as your mind takes flight
The vivid blood orange background transitions to white as the mind drifts away.
No, I know that I'm all ready
Reiterating the acknowledgment of being already in a familiar place.
The passer by becomes aware
A passerby becomes conscious of their surroundings.
That endless stress-scroll takes you there
The constant scrolling through stress-inducing content leads to a mental space.
But no, I know that I'm already home
Despite external distractions, the speaker affirms being in a state of homecoming.
