Rooms
Love's Absence in Silent Rooms
Lyrics
Rooms that we have lived in,
Reflection on various living spaces experienced in the past.
The things that they have seen;
Acknowledging the events witnessed by the rooms.
Rooms that you shared with me,
Referencing shared living spaces with a partner.
And the rooms in between...
Hinting at transitional or intermediate spaces.
When you're gone, there's a drought of love.
Expressing a feeling of love shortage when the partner is absent.
Mornings we would wake up
Recalling mornings filled with the joy of reconnecting in love.
Just to taste our love again,
Emphasizing the desire to relive the experience of love in the morning.
Afraid of some break-up
Fearing a potential breakup before the day concludes.
Before the day could end.
When you're gone, there's a drought of love;
Reiterating the impact of the partner's absence on the love.
Empty rooms without your love.
Describing the emptiness in rooms when devoid of the partner's love.
Why can't we seem to get it on?
Questioning the difficulty in rekindling the love.
(Why can't we seem to get it on)
(Repetition of line 15)
Words remain unspoken (words...);
Highlighting unexpressed feelings through unspoken words.
Thoughts cannot be heard
Emphasizing the challenge of conveying thoughts that remain unheard.
(Thoughts...cannot be heard).
(Repetition of line 19)
Love's just a token
Stating that love is incomplete without verbal communication.
Without some spoken word.
Emphasizing the importance of spoken words in a relationship.
When your gone, there's a drought of love.
Reiterating the impact of the partner's absence on love.
When you're gone, there's a drought of love;
(Repetition of line 23)
Empty rooms without your love.
(Repetition of line 14)
Why can't we seem to get it on?
Questioning the challenges in reigniting the love.
(Why can't we seem to get it on)
(Repetition of line 27)
Rooms that you will live in
Anticipating future rooms where the partner will reside but not with the speaker.
Not a part of me.
Acknowledging the emotional detachment from those future spaces.
(They'll never see...)
(Emphasis that those rooms will never witness the speaker's presence)
Rooms that you'll make love in;
Reference to rooms where the partner will make love in the future.
Rooms I've never seen.
Highlighting the speaker's unfamiliarity with those future love spaces.
When you're gone, there's a drought of love...
Repeating the impact of the partner's absence on love.
When you're gone, there's a drought of love...
(Repetition of line 35)
