is your bedroom ceiling bored?
Sody Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't stop tellin' him all about you
Wonder if you do the same thing I do
And these four white walls, they know more than my friends
They watch me type messages I'll never send
This is the place that I just can't pretend to be alright
Is your bedroom ceiling bored like mine
Of you staring at it all the time?
'Cause it's seen so many nights where I cry and I yell at the sky
For not telling you how I feel
Is your bedroom ceiling bored
Like mine?
I get up early and talk to the sun
I ask her for guidance but she ain't got none
How am I supposed to know you're not the one?
I'm begging to the mirror 'cause I can't find an answer
Too busy fallin' apart and I wonder
If you're moving on, if you are, what's your secret?
'Cause I can't work out where to start
Is your bedroom ceiling bored like mine
Of you staring at it all the time?
'Cause it's seen so many nights where I cry and I yell at the sky
For not telling you how I feel
Is your bedroom ceiling bored
Like mine?
I stay up late and I talk to the moon
And I can't stop telling him all about you
Wonder if you do the same thing I do
I get up early and talk to the sun
And ask her for guidance but she ain't got none
Wonder if you do the same thing I do
I hope you do
Is your bedroom ceiling bored like mine
Of you staring at it all the time?
'Cause it's seen so many nights where I cry and I yell at the sky
For not telling you how I feel
Is your bedroom ceiling bored
Is your bedroom ceiling bored
Like mine?
Sody's "Is your bedroom ceiling bored?" is a song about longing and heartbreak. The singer opens the song with a confession of talking to the moon and sharing her feelings about the person she's missing. The white walls of her room know more than her friends, and they witness the messages she writes but never sends. It's a space that holds her secrets and makes her feel comfortable enough to be honest with herself about her feelings. The singer wonders if the person she's missing thinks about her just as she does. The lyrics convey that heartbreak is a lonely affair and that the feelings of longing often lead to sleepless nights of contemplation and analysis.
There is a palpable vulnerability in the lyrics that makes the song more relatable. The lines "Is your bedroom ceiling bored like mine/ Of you staring at it all the time?" is a rhetorical question that speaks to the monotony of heartbreak. The singer has worn out her bedroom ceiling with her deep sighs and wistful stares. It's a longing that can easily consume one's thoughts and create an uncomfortable sense of stagnation. The song ends with a wishful message that the person she's missing is going through the same experience, which offers her some comfort in her pain.
