White Room
Journey Through Shadows: Deep Purple's White Room Meaning
Lyrics
In the white room with black curtains near the station
In a room with white walls and black curtains close to the train station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Describing a desolate landscape without luxury or prosperity, where birds seem fatigued
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Imagery of fantasy or surrealism - depicting a romanticized scene with poetic imagery
Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment
Expressing the feeling of contentment when seeing someone in the light of dawn
I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Waiting in a place where there's no happiness or brightness
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves
Being in a place where even the shadows seem to avoid themselves
You said no strings could secure you at the station
Someone expressing they cannot be tied down or controlled at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
Describing the scene at the station with departing trains and a sense of finality
I walked into such a sad time at the station
Entering a melancholic or sorrowful moment at the station
And as I walked out, felt my own need just beginning
Realizing personal emotional needs starting to emerge as they leave
I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Waiting in line for the return of trains
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves
Lying with someone in a place where even shadows seem to flee
At the party, she was kindness in the hard crowd
Describing someone at a party who stands out with kindness among a tough crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Offering solace for a past hurt that has now been forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
Using poetic imagery to describe someone's eyes and the intensity within
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings
Describing someone getting ready to depart, amidst tiredness and bleakness
I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Sleeping in a place surrounded by a feeling of loneliness
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves
Lying in darkness where even shadows seem to avoid themselves
