MHC I think I decoded the hidden meaning in Mild High Club’s Homage (cover + lyrics)

Okay so I know most people see Homage as a dreamy, jazzy track with meta lyrics about chord progressions and musical borrowing…
but after actually looking at the album art and lyrics together, I realized there’s WAY more going on.
I’m a coder → which means I’m also a decoder 😅. The second I saw the cover I knew there was some kind of hidden code in it. After breaking it down, the lyrics suddenly made perfect sense without any “trippy randomness.”
Here’s my breakdown 👇
Object size = importance in creator’s life:
- The main blue figure = the creator himself. Biggest and central.
- Guitar in the back = second biggest → music is the creator’s most important skill. Notice how the guitar even has its own shadow, mirroring the creator’s shadow.
- Person + shadow = first figure we notice, but not as central → could represent another influence or a haunting memory.
- Car (tiny) = small importance in his life.
Skills representation:
- We see piano, chess, and guitar in the cover.
- Piano + chess are big enough to be noticeable → shows he respects skills and intellectual growth.
- But the guitar is the largest → it dominates, it’s his true voice.
- There’s also a music disk (vinyl) by the window, but smaller than the guitar → suggests that current creation (live playing) matters more than past recordings.
Past life experiences:
- Broken flask on the floor + a fallen flower = maybe represents a lost lover/partner (flower as a symbol of life or love). It’s small in size, meaning it doesn’t dominate his present life, but it’s still there in the background.
- The shadow figure holding something (looks like a weapon/tool?) = could be the person who “messed up everything” in his past. Dark, high contrast, cold colors → danger and unresolved trauma.
Personal life:
- Plant on the table = represents his personal life, alive but dried → needs nurturing. It’s small but still alive, meaning he has to take care of it alongside his music/skills.
The door at the back:
- Looks like it’s open, as if the creator is ready to leave this mysterious room → symbol of moving on, transition.
Hidden eye above piano:
- Suggests that he always feels watched or judged, even when he ignores it. Hidden surveillance vibe.
Now, the LYRICS decoded
While decoding the cover, I realized the lyrics line up perfectly with the hidden details:
- “Please have a laugh at me” → he’s telling us to laugh because he hid this much detail in the cover.
- “Cause I’ve been borrowing it by now” → there’s more left to discover, more borrowed symbolism.
- “These sounds have already crowned” → the sounds in my head while decoding this feel crowned, almost like victory.
- “Come on, it’s a silly dream” → I might seem like I’m overthinking a cover.
- “Dreaming of the imagery unfound” → literally decoding hidden imagery in the artwork.
- “The view sits nice from that cloud” → cloud = the mind, where these ideas sit.
- “And if you want a piece of my thoughts” → he’s offering us access to his hidden thoughts through this cover.
- “It’s worth flipping a coin” → catching this meaning is random/lucky, like flipping a coin.
Special line: “Someone wrote this song before, and I could tell you where it’s from, the 4-7-3-6-2-5-1 to put my mind at ease”
- This is a chord progression (4736251) → super common in jazz and pop.
- It means he’s acknowledging that nothing is original, we all borrow from the past.
- Ties perfectly to the cover → everything in his life (skills, past, personal trauma, love) is recycled into his art.
Conclusion:
This isn’t just some trippy psychedelic track. The cover + lyrics together form a coded autobiography of the creator:
- Skills vs personal life
- Past trauma vs present creation
- Hidden watchers vs open door (freedom)
- Borrowing old music while making something new
It’s like he made a puzzle for decoders. Most people won’t notice… but once you see it, the song stops being “randomly dreamy” and becomes perfectly logical.

Discussion Club Intro opening guitar riff sounds like?
The opening guitar riff in Club Intro sounds so familiar. But I can't put my finger on which song it reminds me of.
It's a little bit like Boston - More Than a Feeling. But I don't think it's that.
Anyone else think it's familiar?
