Apartment No. 9
Apartment No. 9: A Tale of Love Lost and Lonely Wait
Lyrics
Just follow the stairway
Describing a stairway as a pathway to the singer's apartment.
To this lonely world of mine
Expressing the singer's perception of their world as lonely.
You'll find me waitin' here
Indicating the singer's presence and anticipation in the apartment.
In apartment number nine
Identifying the location as "apartment number nine."
Not so very long ago
Reflecting on a recent past when the person left the singer.
You walked away from me
Recalling the departure of the person from the singer's life.
And after all the plans we made
Mentioning plans made together that were abandoned by the person.
You decided to be free
Noting the person's choice to pursue freedom, ending the relationship.
Loneliness surrounds me
Expressing the pervasive feeling of loneliness in the singer's life.
Without your arms around me
Emphasizing the absence of the person's comforting presence.
And the sun will never shine
Conveying a sense of perpetual darkness and despair without the person.
In apartment number nine
Reiterating the location and the bleak atmosphere of the apartment.
I keep waitin' in this lonely room
Continuing to wait for the person's return in the desolate room.
Just in case you change your mind
Remaining hopeful for a change in the person's decision.
You'll find me waitin' here
Reaffirming the singer's presence and waiting in the apartment.
In apartment number nine
Repeating the apartment number and the singer's patient anticipation.
Loneliness surrounds me
Reiterating the theme of loneliness without the person's embrace.
Without your arms around me
Echoing the sense of emptiness and the yearning for the person's arms.
And the sun will never shine
Repeating the idea that the sun, symbolizing happiness, is absent in the apartment.
In apartment number nine
Reemphasizing the gloomy atmosphere and perpetual darkness in the apartment.
No, The sun will never shine
Restating the idea that happiness will not return to the apartment.
In apartment number nine
Reaffirming the enduring darkness and lack of joy in the singer's life.
