Room with a View
Discovering Life's Meaning Through Axel Rudi Pell's 'Room with a View'
Lyrics
Well he used to be a tailor
He used to work as a tailor.
Sew those suits so fine
He crafted high-quality suits with precision.
And he never heard of failure
He was unfamiliar with failure in his past.
And he never tasted wine
He never experienced the taste of wine.
And he used to be a leader
He was a leader in the past.
When he had someone to lead
He led others when he had followers.
And he used to be a father
He used to be a father.
When he had some mouths to feed
He was a father when he had dependents to support.
When he had some mouths to feed
Repetition emphasizing the previous line.
And they say it never rains in L.A. county
Contrary to the belief, it sometimes rains in L.A. county.
It gets cold enough to wish you had a few
The weather gets cold, making one long for warmth.
And he laughs tonight and say's "I finally found me
He laughs and claims to have found a satisfying situation.
A room with a view, how about you?"
He has found a room with a view and asks about others.
He was living in a castle
He resided in a self-built castle.
That he built with his own hands
He constructed the castle with his own hands.
Out of newspaper and cardboard
The castle was made from newspaper and cardboard.
He was living off the land
He lived off the resources provided by the land.
He was living off the land
Repetition emphasizing his self-sufficiency.
He was living of the land
Repetition emphasizing his reliance on the land.
And they say it never rains in L.A. county
Contrary to belief, it sometimes rains in L.A. county.
It gets cold enough to wish you had a few
The weather gets cold in L.A. county.
And he laughs tonight and say's "I finally found me
He laughs, claiming to have found a satisfying situation again.
A room with a view, how about you?"
He found a room with a view and questions others about their situation.
And they say it never rains in L.A. county
Reiteration that it sometimes rains in L.A. county.
It gets cold enough to wish you had a few
Reiteration of the cold weather in L.A. county.
And he laughs tonight and say's "I finally found me
He laughs, indicating contentment with his current situation.
A room with a view, how about you?"
He found a room with a view and inquires about others.
Whoa, whoa, how about you?
A final question emphasizing curiosity about others' situations.
