I dont interpret this song as homesickness but as the feeling of not belonging anywhere When you grow up abroad and feel that's your home but then you realize you dont belong because you look different from everyone around you, but when you go to your hometown, your own country expecting you will find home but then find out you cant assimilate because of glaring cultural difference You have two houses but none of them can be called home
true. i actually have this impression first before. after i read comments though, i also feel like it could also relate to homesickness. but i am more inclined to this impression more, because of lyrics that really hit home to me, the part where she feels there is always something missing (now that she has chosen this life), and how none sees the difference (ironically even people closest to her) because she split them all.
it's called 3rd culture kid (4th, 5th ...) and reverse culture shock. I remember learning it from this girl th-cam.com/video/3COAIzdG9Vk/w-d-xo.html she made me laugh
[Verse 1] It's a West Coast winter, sun's still a furnace So I keep tanning, just never on purpose I'm saturated in equal parts sun and doubt So I turn the fan on high and hope I sweat it out [Verse 2] Christmas is coming, I miss my mama Well, least I got my daddy, but he's in Jakarta And there, it's raining, while here, it's dry as bone Kinda wish I knew what I meant when I'd say, "I miss home" [Chorus] Guess I'm forever caught between two worlds Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war I do my best between addresses Wish I were on either side of the forеign wall Oh, always part of me missing, but no one sees a differеnce 'Cause I split them all (Ooh, ooh) [Verse 3] Spread so thin, I'm low on emotional bandwidth The voice in my head speaks a different language And where I live, they believe you only have yourself But where I'm from, you're taught to be somebody else So hellos are short, goodbyes are only half farewells [Chorus] Oh, I guess I'm forever caught between two worlds Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war I do my best between addresses Wish I were on either side of the foreign wall Always part of me missing But no one sees the difference 'Cause I split them all
As an Indonesian, particularly from Jakarta, living abroad and going into the holiday season alone for the first time, this song hits different 😭😭😭 Such relatable, beautiful, sincre lyrics. Thank you Niki!! ❤️❤️
If you miss Jakarta around the end of the year you could always wear your pajamas, bring some pillow, carry your backpack, then dip yourself into the nearby river (especially those that are close to some sort of sewage system) and scream "BANJIR BANJIR" That's gonn....ah Itu akan sangat memukul berbeda.
The feeling of homesick is difficult, but spending the holiday season in other countries hits harder. I love how beautiful this song is, it feels like someone giving me a warm hug.
OMG I'm crying for real. 😭😭😭 The feeling of homesick is horrible. This hits home so bad. Pray whoever far from their families for so long can reunite soon. Thank you for this beautiful song, NIKI! 😭
As a person living in the other side of the world, away from home, yes “split” is relatable. Stay strong and resilient, hang on! To Niki: you’re definitely rocking both addresses. Congratulations!
as an Indonesian who's been far away from home for almost all my life, you have no idea how this clip and song moves me. I'm feeling seen right now. there are more people caught between two worlds like me. thank you so much Niki. I'll be spending another Christmas not at home, but at least I have this
It feels weird that this song made me miss home even when I'm still in the same house as my family. But I think that's just because our home isn't a home anymore. Thank you so much for your music Niki. I loved every second of this song :((
such a haunting yet beautiful song about homesickness,, the lyrics are so touching too. Niki, I hope you can check in with your dad and family in Indonesia soon 🥺🤍
I totally feel this song, I’ve been traveling through Spain since march of this year bc of work and honestly i’ve never felt so lonely, I miss my family and friends, basically I miss home. The worst thing is that i’m gonna go back home until may 2022 and i’m gonna spend christmas alone, kinda feel you niki :( uptade!! I know no one cares but the corporation where I work decided to give us paid vacations and i’m happy to say that I was able to travel to México (where my family is) and currently i’m there, so I wasn’t so lonely this christmas :)
Although NIKI might've had a different intention in mind, like homesickness, whilst writing this song, it hit me too close to home. To me, having separate personalities whenever I'm around either parent since they've splitted kinda gave me an identity crisis.
I’m from Mexico living in the US, all of my family and friends live in Mex too. I cry so hard every time I listen to this song I miss my parents and my life there, I feel lonely, at the same time I found love here, I can’t live without any of my two lifes so there’s always a part missing, Love you Niki💖
as someone who hasn't been home in almost two years this is hitting a little too hard rn... thank you for another heart-wrenching masterpiece, niki! sending warm hugs your way!!!!
The song is really describing the feeling of missing home while at the same time you know that you already attached yourself in the new place. Usually happens to the first gen of immigrants, international students, and expats
NIKI's writing never seizes to amaze me. Her words hit (emotionally) even though you're not going through that particular situation she's singing about.
I've been away from home (Asia) to study and work in Canada for almost 5 years now. Was gonna visit home last year but of course due to COVID everything went south. Thanks NIKI for this song. The struggle of trying to fit in and balancing between cultures is real. This song speaks to my heart.
I love the lyrics and the meaning of the song a looot. As a person born and raised in germany with turkish parents i understand the struggle of having to split between two cultures and never feeling the sense of belonging to either of them. I kind of feel like im never enough, like a hybrid. Thank you Niki for making a song that articulates my reality so well 💜
This song couldn't relate to me anymore than it does. Having lost my mom a couple of years back, my entire life and family in Malaysia but about to leave for another country half way across the world for my boyfriend... Thank you, Niki, been such a huge fan of yours for the past few years. You never fail express raw and relatable feelings
As a person who was born and raised in the Netherlands I still grew up with Indonesian parents so this song really hits different. Growing up Indonesian, I would feel different than the other kids here. But when I was in Indonesia, I’d still feel different. I still struggle with identity crisis to this day. But none of my friends really understand my struggle. So when I feel frustrated again, I’ll listen to this song while crying. But this song perfectly explains the frustrated feeling of having two “homes” or identities. Thanku Niki, for this beautiful song, sincerely.
OMG this gives me the same heart-hitting vibes from when Rich Brian said “I miss my family, miss my home Wish I could visit a little more The journey's 24 hours flight too long I only get to see 'em on my phone” this verse always hits me way too close to home and this song just brought all the tears out 🥺😭😭😭
Split Lyrics NIKI & 88rising [Verse 1] It’s a West Coast winter, sun’s still a furnace So I keep tanning, just never on purpose I’m saturated in equal parts sun and doubt So I turn the fan on high and hope I sweat it out [Verse 2] Christmas is coming, I miss my mama Well, least I got my daddy, but he’s in Jakarta And there, it’s raining, while here, it’s dry as bone Kinda wish I knew what I meant when I’d say, “I miss home” [Chorus] Guess I’m forever caught between two worlds Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war I do my best between addresses Wish I were on either side of the forеign wall Oh, always part of me missing, but no one sees a differеnce ‘Cause I split them all (Ooh, ooh) [Verse 3] Spread so thin, I’m low on emotional bandwidth The voice in my head speaks a different language And where I live, they believe you only have yourself But where I’m from, you’re taught to be somebody else So hellos are short, goodbyes are only half farewells [Chorus] Oh, I guess I’m forever caught between two worlds Right foot rock, left foot hard place, head and heart at war I do my best between addresses Wish I were on either side of the foreign wall Always part of me missing But no one sees the difference ‘Cause I split them all
i think what she means by pure indonesians are where and how they were raised. i know because being raised in indonesia is waayyy different than being raised in the US.
I never knew how meaningful and relatable this song is in my situation right now 'til I paid close attention to the lyrics. As someone who now lives in another country, and also torned between living anew in another place yet missing home and the people I've left behind wanting to go back, this song hits hard.
Prove that Niki is so talented and versatile, she can switch vibe from Taylor, Ariana, Billie and now she gives us Lana Del Rey + Kacey Musgraves + Maren Morris. Amazing 👏👏👏
Been waiting for your masterpiece and here “split” pops out. Keep making ‘soulfull’ music and bless our ears with your stunning voice, Niki. Hope you’re always doing great there! We’re rooting for you and we will always be. Congrats for your new song! Ah, added to playlist~
I am a seafarer for 3 years and I stay longer on the ship and only get to spend a few weeks with my family. This song proves that we all have to sacrifice for the sake of our family and our dreams. Thank you for this Niki! I'm pretty sure that you're Mom is proud of what you've become and becoming.
Falling love with Niki the first time I heard this song, at first I just love her voice and didn't know why this song touched me so much. Then I listened for a second time while paying attention to the lyrics, I was on the way to work on bus, I tried so hard not to let my tears fall down. As an Asia who's been living in Europe for 8 years, every line of the lyrics hits me so deep, literally every word. Now when people ask me "do you miss home", I don't know what to say. I've been trying hard to fit in, but still feel like an outsider. Sometimes I get confused, am I behaving "wrong" because of the cultural difference or it's just my personality. There's so many manners of talking and reacting are just the opposite of in my home country. The same manner, in my home country it's considered to be polite and respectful, here people think it's cold and refuse to blend in. This song hurts so much and yet so comforting. Thank you, Niki 💓
this song describe jakarta 100 percent and how everyone who feels trapped there finally gets the freedom to be themselves completely but of course they're still homesick, but when they're home they're not exactly home either cause they will not be accepted if they're being themselves completely. always part of me missing
Niki, i hope you're doing well. Minds and thought, body and soul. Your family will be always proud of you, so is your Mama up there 💕 fly high Niki, but don't forget your standard, like what your Mama said 🌹
i think she's trying to communicate this very specific feeling and niki conveys it so well that i feel like i can understand every nook and cranny of it. the "hellos are short, goodbyes are only half-farewells" really hits me though.
omg this makin me mellow as it best. its hard to growin up and decided to livin away from your birth family to pursuing your own dream. I hope u will always stay happy and adapting well in any place in this world, Niki! love you!
I have a feeling that this song will be part of a movie/series where the situations are realizations, goodbyes, sad peak, moving on. This song is cinematic 🙌🏼👏🏼🔥🔥 love u niki
The lyrics, the tender voice, and the nostalgic melody. This song is poetry, this songs heals me💗🌷💐 I'm so glad I got the chance to found them. Excellent artists
As an Indonesian who moved to another country and gonna spend life there for the next few years can relate to the message which Nicole tries to tell us in this music. Whenever I feel homesick I listen to this song and it throws me back to my Indo family and friends and things that I used to do while I was still in Indo. In fact, I’ve always felt homesick through and through but the difference now when I try to listen to this song is, I don’t feel alone anymore and I’m glad that someone is struggling the same thing and somehow those Indo memories make me happy and motivate me to pursue my goals and dreams harder. Yup, homesick is definitely not an easy thing and I’d say it’s inevitable especially when you’re struggling to fit in it really confuses your identity but makasih kak niki for making this song it’s definitely cheering me up whenever I feel the blues from being homesick ❤️🤍 You are my forever inspiration 😁
being an immigrant here in the us, i really miss my family and friends a lot. yet, we both know that im pursuing my dreams and soon ill make them proud. thanks niki💕
NIKI continuing her tradition of giving as bops as a christmas gift every year is something that i always look forward too even if i had a crappy year or not
Thank you Niki for this. I think I can speak for many of us anak tanah air who have migrated overseas for education or work, and have had to separate with our families throughout this COVID ordeal. Some of us even have to grief for our family members back home who struggled with the covid/general situation back home while we were in a “safer” land, trying our best to function normally with our education and work. I kept replaying this song and crying harder every time. Hope it gets better for us soon ♥️

I dont interpret this song as homesickness but as the feeling of not belonging anywhere
When you grow up abroad and feel that's your home but then you realize you dont belong because you look different from everyone around you, but when you go to your hometown, your own country expecting you will find home but then find out you cant assimilate because of glaring cultural difference
You have two houses but none of them can be called home

Oh, always part of me missing, but no one sees a differеnce
'Cause I split them all (Ooh, ooh)
[Verse 3]
Spread so thin, I'm low on emotional bandwidth
The voice in my head speaks a different language
And where I live, they believe you only have yourself
But where I'm from, you're taught to be somebody else
So hellos are short, goodbyes are only half farewells
[Chorus]
Oh, I guess I'm forever caught between two worlds

Then I listened for a second time while paying attention to the lyrics, I was on the way to work on bus, I tried so hard not to let my tears fall down. As an Asia who's been living in Europe for 8 years, every line of the lyrics hits me so deep, literally every word. Now when people ask me "do you miss home", I don't know what to say. I've been trying hard to fit in, but still feel like an outsider. Sometimes I get confused, am I behaving "wrong" because of the cultural difference or it's just my personality. There's so many manners of talking and reacting are just the opposite of in my home country. The same manner, in my home country it's considered to be polite and respectful, here people think it's cold and refuse to blend in. This song hurts so much and yet so comforting. Thank you, Niki

this song describe jakarta 100 percent and how everyone who feels trapped there finally gets the freedom to be themselves completely but of course they're still homesick, but when they're home they're not exactly home either cause they will not be accepted if they're being themselves completely. always part of me missing
the song has more depth than just feeling homesick or missing home.
Never ever sick and tired of her..
Niki, i hope you're doing well. Minds and thought, body and soul. Your family will be always proud of you, so is your Mama up there 💕 fly high Niki, but don't forget your standard, like what your Mama said 🌹
i think she's trying to communicate this very specific feeling and niki conveys it so well that i feel like i can understand every nook and cranny of it. the "hellos are short, goodbyes are only half-farewells" really hits me though.
omg this makin me mellow as it best. its hard to growin up and decided to livin away from your birth family to pursuing your own dream. I hope u will always stay happy and adapting well in any place in this world, Niki! love you!
The fact Samsung has partnered with 88rising makes me even happier that they're getting even more recognition now.
the emotional chokehold "and where I live, they believe, you only have yourself / but where I’m from, you’re taught to be somebody else" has on me
she's an icon, she's a legend, and she is the moment
I have a feeling that this song will be part of a movie/series where the situations are realizations, goodbyes, sad peak, moving on. This song is cinematic 🙌🏼👏🏼🔥🔥 love u niki
The lyrics, the tender voice, and the nostalgic melody. This song is poetry, this songs heals me💗🌷💐 I'm so glad I got the chance to found them. Excellent artists
As an Indonesian who moved to another country and gonna spend life there for the next few years can relate to the message which Nicole tries to tell us in this music. Whenever I feel homesick I listen to this song and it throws me back to my Indo family and friends and things that I used to do while I was still in Indo. In fact, I’ve always felt homesick through and through but the difference now when I try to listen to this song is, I don’t feel alone anymore and I’m glad that someone is struggling the same thing and somehow those Indo memories make me happy and motivate me to pursue my goals and dreams harder. Yup, homesick is definitely not an easy thing and I’d say it’s inevitable especially when you’re struggling to fit in it really confuses your identity but makasih kak niki for making this song it’s definitely cheering me up whenever I feel the blues from being homesick ❤️🤍
You are my forever inspiration 😁
As always, Niki give us such a wonderful piece of song. How I wish you would be here in Philippines for a concert 🥺😭

"Guess I'm forever caught between two worlds"

Queen Niki blessing our ears once again with a masterpiece 😌
Oh, Niki you make me cry😢. I live far away from my family too. People who live far way from their family will relate to this song. It hits hard!
Being homesick for the holidays, torn between two timezones & losing a loved one.
I relate to this song a lot. Thank you, Niki. ❤️🩹
NIKI continuing her tradition of giving as bops as a christmas gift every year is something that i always look forward too even if i had a crappy year or not
she always nailed it when it comes to delivering a song
been living in Australia since the pandemic started and can't back home in Indonesia. The chorus and verse 3 hit me so bad.
She has blessed us 😭
Yes😩
Thank you Niki for this. I think I can speak for many of us anak tanah air who have migrated overseas for education or work, and have had to separate with our families throughout this COVID ordeal. Some of us even have to grief for our family members back home who struggled with the covid/general situation back home while we were in a “safer” land, trying our best to function normally with our education and work. I kept replaying this song and crying harder every time. Hope it gets better for us soon ♥️
Kebayang Niki nangis sendirian merindukan keluarga nya, soalnya pernah merasakan juga. Yang kuat our baby girl Niki
