Overall Meaning

The song In My Room by SHINee is a melancholic ballad about heartbreak and reminiscing. The song starts with Onew’s soft and sorrowful voice describing his state of mind at night, staring blankly into space, and thinking about the memories of his former lover. Jonghyun, with his powerful and emotional voice, follows up with the pain of not being able to forget his ex-lover, and the reminder of what could have been during special occasions. The chorus, sung by all the members of the group, emphasizes the extent of their sadness and longing for their former love, who was the sun and the moon in their life, in whose presence they found solace, and now they are left with only memories.

The lyrics also describe how the memories of their former love are so deeply ingrained in their mind, that even though they try to forget, they cannot seem to escape, as the love that they shared was comforting, all-consuming, and life-changing. The song shows a deep sense of loss and heartache that can be relatable to those who have experienced a similar loss in their life.
