In Your Room
Airiel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
to keep my eyes from closing besides
I still see you
it seems so right
to think of the time we could have tonight
and it's so cold
it seems my hands
are colder than yours, warm me up inside
your face turns red and so does mine
and we climb all around
you stare into my eyes and watch me
drown inside
you whisper to me softly as I lie
you shine so bright
a light inside my head i love the thought
of staring at you
asleep at night
kaleidoscopic thoughts of me and you
and you're just so cool
for me to see
the life we'd have and we'd tell everyone
your face turns red and so does mine
and we climb all around
you stare into my eyes and watch me
drown inside
You whisper to me softly as I lie
I always try
to keep my eyes from closing besides
I still see you
Asleep at night
kaleidoscopic thoughts of me and you
(?)Someone light my way on my side(?)
We climb all around
You stare into my eyes and watch me
drown inside
You whisper to me softly as I lie
and we climb all around
you stare into my eyes and watch me
drown inside
You whisper to me softly as I lie
The lyrics of Airiel's song In Your Room speak to the overwhelming desire and passion one may feel towards another person. The singer is consumed by the thought of being with the person they are addressing, and they are willing to forsake their own wellbeing just to be in their company. This is evidenced by the line "I always try to keep my eyes from closing besides, I still see you." The singer is so infatuated with this person that they cannot bring themselves to rest even though they are exhausted.
The lyrics also convey a sense of longing and desperation. The singer seems to be trying to convince the person they are addressing of their desire for them by insisting that they "still see" them and that they are consumed by thoughts of them both during the day and at night. The repetition of the line "your face turns red and so does mine" suggests that the passion they feel is mutual and intense.
The lyrics also contain a sense of vulnerability. The singer is willing to reveal their innermost desires and feelings to this person, even if it means admitting that they "drown inside." This vulnerability is mirrored in the line "you whisper to me softly as I lie" suggesting that this person is a source of comfort and safety in a world that otherwise makes the singer feel lost and alone.
