“Missing You” is a tribute to Jesse’s grandfather who had recently passed. The song is hopeful, as Jesse sings about celebrating the memory of a loved one and the afterlife.
The reworked retains the demo’s original 80’s sound with fuzzy synth sounds. The verses were made even more eerie with Vince’...
Missing You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I, I am feeling like a veteran
Uncompensated for the blood I’ve left to pool on foreign grounds
And I sometimes reach to rub at aching legs
But they’ve been dust for over a decade
And you’re the limb I’ve lost but somehow I still feel it
[Chorus]
Until I awake, we just hope that you made it
We hope that you’re celebrating
With people you miss
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I’m happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed
‘Cause I’m missing you to death
[Verse 2]
And now it’s only records in my memory
Some little thing you gave posthumously
The details all dragged out
To think of all the paintings we would be without
If Van Gogh had gone and died face-down from loss of blood the night he went and hacked his ear off
[Chorus]
Until I awake, we just hope that you made it
We hope that you’re celebrating
With people you miss
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I’m happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed
‘Cause I’m missing you to death
[Bridge]
How many kids do we have?
How many homes did we shape?
How many prisons did we break out?
How much love did we make?
Yeah, how much love did we make?
How much love did we make?
How much love did we make?
How much love did we make?
[Chorus]
Until I awake, we just hope that you made it
We hope that you’re celebrating
With people you miss
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I’m happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed
‘Cause I’m missing you to death
[Chorus]
Until I awake, we just hope that you made it
We hope you’re as decorated
As the day that you left
And burning like a beacon
Guiding our ship around this hellish shoal
I’m happy to admit that maybe I am a little depressed
‘Cause I’m missing you to death
