The Girl in the Other Room
Whispers of Shadows: Unveiling the Mysteries in 'The Girl in the Other Room'
Lyrics
The girl in the other room
The girl in a separate room
She knows by now
She's become aware or realized something
There's something in all of her fears
Her fears contain some significant meaning
Now she wears it threadbare
Those fears have worn out or weakened her
She sits on the floor
She's sitting on the floor
The glass pressed tight to the wall
She's eavesdropping with the glass pressed against the wall
She hears murmurs low
She hears quiet voices or conversations
The paper is peeling
There are signs of decay or neglect (symbolic or literal)
Her eyes staring straight at the ceiling
Her gaze is fixed directly upwards
Maybe they're there
There might be entities present or it could be nothing
Or maybe it's nothing at all
Uncertainty about the nature of the situation
As she draws lipstick smears on the wall
She's making marks on the wall with lipstick
The girl in the other room
The girl is again mentioned, separated from the narrator
She powders her face
She's applying makeup to her face
And stares hard
She's intensely looking at her own reflection
Into her reflection
(Blank line)
The girl in the other room
Reference to the girl in the other room again
She stifles a yawn
Suppressing a yawn
Adjusting the strap of her gown
Adjusting her clothing
She tosses her tresses
Tossing her hair
Her lover undresses
Her lover is undressing
Turning the last lamp light down
The last light in the room is being turned off
What's that voice we're hearing?
Questioning about a voice that's heard
We should be sleeping
Thinking they should be sleeping
Could that be someone who's weeping?
Suspecting someone might be crying
Maybe she's there
There's a possibility of her presence
Maybe there's nothing to see
Or maybe there's nothing significant to observe
It's just a trace of what used to be
Just a faint sign or memory of the past
The girl in the other room
Reference to the girl in the separate room once more
She darkens her lash
She's enhancing her lashes and blushing her cheeks
And blushes
(Blank line)
She seems to look familiar
She appears to seem recognizable
