Lyrics
Everything has been leading here
Expressing that everything in the past has led to this moment.
I always wanted to be
Longing to be in a particular state or place.
In this room
Desire or appreciation for being in the current space, possibly a metaphorical "room."
How they come and go and I want to know
Curiosity about the transient nature of people and a desire to understand their experiences.
What they know
Seeking knowledge and insight within the confines of the present situation.
In this room
Reiterating the significance of the current environment.
You and I are dominoes
Symbolizing a connection between the speaker and another person as vulnerable entities.
Collapse one at a time
Highlighting the vulnerability and interconnectedness of individuals, suggesting a gradual breakdown.
In this room
Reiterating the vulnerability and interdependence within the present space.
And I started to understand
Beginning to comprehend the true essence of being in the current situation.
What it really means to be
Exploring the profound meaning of existing within this specific space.
In this room
Emphasizing the significance of the current room or environment.
This is not a safe place to be
Warning about the lack of safety in the present location.
You didn't think it was
Challenging assumptions about the perceived safety of the environment.
When you lined up to sign your name
Highlighting the contradiction between expectations and reality when committing to something.
This is not a safe place to be
Reiterating the unsafe nature of the current place.
And no one cares
Emphasizing the lack of concern from others regarding the safety of the environment.
If raving and drowning do look the same
Suggesting indifference to the potential dangers, drawing a parallel between intense emotions (raving) and drowning.
So I see them all arrive
Observing the arrival of various individuals into the space.
All of them promising the world
Noting the promises made by newcomers within the current environment.
In this room
Reiterating the context of being in this specific room.
Taking the game for all it's got
Engaging with the challenges and opportunities presented by the environment.
Before or snatches back the lot
Acting before someone takes away the opportunities available.
In this room
Reinforcing the idea of being in the current space.
I'm not exactly a fly on the wall
Clarifying the speaker's role as an observer rather than an active participant.
Or anything at all
Emphasizing the passive nature of the speaker's presence in the room.
In this room
Reiterating the limited role of the speaker within the present space.
I turn up, turn it on
Expressing the speaker's active involvement in the situation, turning up and engaging.
Try to play in tune
Attempting to play in harmony with the environment or circumstances.
On this song
Specifically referencing a song within the context of the room.
This is not a safe place to be
Reiterating the lack of safety in the current place.
You didn't think it was
Challenging preconceived notions about the safety of the environment.
When you lined up to sign your name
Recalling the contradiction between expectations and the actual safety of the room.
This is not a safe place to be
Reiterating the inherent danger within the current space.
And no one cares
Stressing the lack of concern from others regarding the safety of the environment.
If raving and drowning do look the same
Reiterating the indifference towards the potentially hazardous nature of the room.
