Berlin
Ry x Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Berlin in the cold
All that fighting, all that snow
Sober nights
And Byron on my mind
Tell me I'm not going home
And I'll stop waiting by the phone
Bedroom floor
And silence in my blood
Sorry, love, I'm running home
I'm a child of sun and the stars I love
The lyrics to Ry x's song Berlin speak to the feeling of being lost and alone in a new city. The opening line "Come down, love" suggests a search for comfort and connection, while the reference to "Berlin in the cold / all that fighting, all that snow" sets the scene for a desolate, unfamiliar place. The lines "Sober nights / and Byron on my mind" hint at a sense of nostalgia and introspection, as the singer reflects on past loves and reckons with the reality of being alone.
The phrase "Tell me I'm not going home / and I'll stop waiting by the phone" suggests that the singer is torn between staying in Berlin and returning to their previous life. The mention of the "bedroom floor / and silence in my blood" evokes a sense of physical and emotional isolation, while the apology of "Sorry, love, I'm running home" suggests a desire to escape the discomfort and uncertainty of the present moment. The final lines, "I'm a child of sun and the stars I love," suggest a longing for the familiar and the known, a desire to return to a place of comfort and familiarity.

Come down, love
Please approach me, my dear
Berlin in the cold
The city of Berlin during winter season
All that fighting, all that snow
The cold and hostile environment of Berlin during winter season
Sober nights
Nights spent without drinking or getting high
And Byron on my mind
Thinking about the works of the poet Lord Byron
Tell me I'm not going home
Assure me that I'm not just returning to my old ways
And I'll stop waiting by the phone
I'll stop waiting for your call if you do
Bedroom floor
The floor of my room
And silence in my blood
The absence of anything to excite me
Sorry, love, I'm running home
Apologies, my dear, but I'm going back to where I feel alive
I'm a child of sun and the stars I love
I am a person who finds solace and joy in the warmth and beauty of the sun and stars
