In the Room Where You Sleep
Dead Man's Bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sitting on your bed.
I saw something
touching your head.
In the room
where you sleep.
In the room
where you sleep.
Where you......sleep.
You better run.
You better run.
You better hide!
You better hide!
You better run.
I saw something
sitting on your bed.
I saw something
touching your head.
In the room
where you sleep.
In the room
where you sleep.
Where you......sleep.
You better run.
You better run.
You better hide!
You better hide!
There's something in the shadows
in the corner of your room.
A dark heart is beating
and waiting for you.
There is no open window, but the floors still creep.
In the room where you sleep.
In the room where you sleep......
Where you....sleep.
You better run.
You better run.
You better hide!
You better hide!
Oh......You better........run.
The lyrics to Dead Man's Bones's song "In the Room Where You Sleep" convey the feeling of dread and fear that one might experience while being in a dark, eerie room. The repetitive lines "I saw something sitting on your bed, touching your head" create a sense of unease and uncertainty, as the listener is unsure of what exactly is happening in the room. The repeated command to "run" and "hide" further emphasizes the ominous tone of the song, suggesting that there is danger lurking in the shadows. The line "there is no open window, but the floors still creep" adds to the overall feeling of discomfort and anxiety, creating a vivid image of a room that is alive with an eerie presence.
The song's lyrics are reminiscent of Gothic horror literature and films, as they create a sense of foreboding and terror. The repetition of the phrase "in the room where you sleep" hammers home the idea that the room is a place of danger and darkness, and that the listener should do everything in their power to avoid it. The use of the second person "you" throughout the song also adds to the feeling of being personally threatened by the room and its inhabitants, as if the singer is warning the listener that they are in immediate danger.
Overall, "In the Room Where You Sleep" is a haunting and unsettling song that effectively conveys a sense of fear and dread.
