Lyrics

In an open room that echoes well this is where I can tell you

In a spacious room with good acoustics, I express my thoughts openly.

Everything.

Sharing everything.

This is where I meet my muse and it feeds me.

This space is where I find inspiration, and it nurtures my creativity.

This is how I buy the sun and it feeds me.

Here, I metaphorically purchase the sun, gaining strength and inspiration.

This is why I burn this candle I light it so that I can handle this.

Burning a candle symbolizes facing challenges, enabling me to cope.

You're so still

Describing someone else as calm and motionless.

You're so safe

Highlighting a sense of security and tranquility.

Appear severe

Projecting an image of seriousness.

You are so nonchalant.

Portraying someone as casually indifferent.

I'm so still

Expressing personal stillness and safety.

I'm so safe

Feeling secure and calm.

Appear severe

Projecting a serious image despite internal emotions.

I am not.

Contrasting the external appearance with inner emotions.

This is where I meet my muse and it feeds me.

Reiteration of finding inspiration in a specific space.

This is how I buy the sun, and it feeds me.

Metaphorical purchase of the sun for continued inspiration.

I told David I won't die, and this is how I watch the sky,

Asserting a determination to live, symbolized by watching the sky.

That is why I burn this candle, I light it so that I can handle this.

Continuing to face challenges with the burning candle metaphor.

You're so still,

Describing someone else as motionless and composed.

You save face.

Preserving one's dignity or reputation.

Try to erase all you feel inside.

Attempting to conceal inner emotions.

Stand still,

Being motionless and composed.

I save face,

Maintaining composure, despite internal struggles.

I misplace all the feelings I can't hide.

Trying to hide overwhelming emotions.

Of all the rooms I've loved before it's you I love inside this room

Expressing a deep love for someone within this particular space.

They test me can I train my evil eye to see like they do -

Facing challenges and testing oneself to perceive things differently.

Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes.

Acknowledging occasional internal conflicts or uncertainties.

Of all the rooms I've loved before,

Reiteration of deep affection for someone within a specific space.

It's you I love.

Emphasizing love for a particular person.

This is how I meet my muse.

Reiterating the connection between the space and creative inspiration.
