Strangers Room
Lost in the Shadows: A Search for Light in 'Strangers Room'
Lyrics
My eyes were full of morning
Experiencing the beginning of a new day.
And my mouth was full of night
Feeling the remnants of the previous night in one's mouth.
I was in a strangers room
Finding oneself in an unfamiliar place.
And I couldn't find the light
Struggling to find clarity or understanding in the current situation.
I rose to use a different bathroom
Choosing a different bathroom than the one used before.
Than the one before
Seeking change or variety in routine.
And what it is I'm running from Is what it is I'm running for.
Reflecting on the elusive nature of what is being pursued or escaped.
Where do I go from here? Help me.
Expressing uncertainty about the next steps and seeking assistance.
I wish I could disappear and go away
Desiring to escape or distance oneself from the current situation.
From the knowing
Feeling discomfort from the knowledge that someone has known the speaker for a long time.
That you've known me far too long.
Expressing a sense of being understood or exposed for an extended period.
When I find a different tune
Anticipating a change in attitude or perspective.
I guess I'll sing a different song
Planning to express oneself differently through a new song.
Where do I go from here? Help me
Reiterating the plea for guidance and assistance in navigating the unknown.
Wish I could disappear and go away from the morning
Expressing a strong desire to escape from the challenges of the morning.
'Cos my eyes are full of flight
Feeling a sense of restlessness or a need for freedom.
I am in a strangers room
Being in a situation that is still unfamiliar, with a continued struggle to find clarity.
And I still can't find the light.
