Room
Lost Echoes: A Journey Beyond Home
Lyrics
I'm in a place I told myself I wouldn't go
I find myself in a place I vowed not to visit.
A million miles from a house I can't call home
I'm far away, a considerable distance from a home that doesn't feel like home.
I wanna leave it behind
I desire to leave this place or situation.
Stained carpets and all the things we hide
There are hidden troubles represented by stained carpets and concealed issues.
I'm gone for it all, in my mind
I'm mentally distant, detached from everything.
God bless the freak show we call "us".
Referring to the relationship as a "freak show" suggests it's unconventional or troubled. "Us" refers to the speaker and someone else.
I miss home
Expressing a longing for home, indicating a sense of displacement or discomfort.
An ordinary life seems bland, but ours is chrome
An ordinary life seems uninteresting, while their shared life stands out ("chrome").
I never wanted anything more than a room
The speaker's primary desire is for a personal space or refuge ("room").
Some place to lay my head
Desiring a place to rest and call their own.
A place where I'd have you
Wanting to share this space with someone special.
I wanna leave it behind
Reiterating the desire to move on from problems symbolized by stained carpets and hidden issues.
Stained carpets and all the things we hide
Continuing the theme of concealed troubles.
I'm gone for it all, in my mind
Remaining mentally detached from everything.
It's as bad as it seems
The situation is just as dire as it appears.
I'm losing sleep over the screams
Experiencing distress and sleeplessness due to unsettling events ("screams").
I'm away for it all, God help me
Being mentally absent from everything, seeking divine help.
I came down
The speaker descended or faced a difficult situation.
I turned blue and choked
Suggesting a moment of distress, perhaps feeling suffocated ("turned blue and choked").
I came down again
Experiencing a challenging situation again.
I wanna leave it behind
Reiterating the desire to move on from hidden troubles and mental detachment.
Stained carpets and all the things we hide
Continuing the theme of concealed issues and the wish to be mentally free.
I'm gone for it all, in my mind
Maintaining a mental distance from everything.
