The Chamber

The Chamber
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You killed the love that was once so strong
With no regret to what you did wrong
Should I stay and fight? Can we make this right?
You looked through me like an open door
Do I exist to you anymore?
'Cause when I'm talking to you
There's someone else that you're hearing
I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

You've played your game, used me like a pawn
Check mate, you're done and then you were gone
Did I moved too fast? I thought we would last
Now that you're through, I can't feel your soul
Where there was love lies an empty hole
'Cause when I make love to you
It's else that you're feeling

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last
I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

For so many nights
I've been standing at the wall
Blind folded with cigarette
Waiting for the fall

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber




And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

Overall Meaning

The song "The Chamber" by Lenny Kravitz is a sad tale about love that was once strong but has now died. The singer sings about how the person he loved killed their love without any regret for their wrongdoing. They ask themselves if they should stay and fight and whether they can make things right. However, the person they loved looks right through them like an open door, and there seems to be someone else that they are hearing when the singer talks to them.


The singer gave their all to this person, and they almost gave them another chance, but they ended up putting one in the chamber and shooting their heart of glass. They've used the singer as a pawn in their game, and now they're done and gone. When they make love to the person they loved, it's someone else that they're feeling. The singer is left with an empty hole where there was love, and their heart now lies shattered on the floor. They've been blindfolded and waiting for the fall, standing at the wall with a cigarette in their hand. However, this time will be the last, and they will not let themselves be hurt again.


Line by Line Meaning

You killed the love that was once so strong
You destroyed the strong love we had before


With no regret to what you did wrong
Without remorse for your mistakes


Should I stay and fight? Can we make this right?
Do I continue to fight for us or is it over?


You looked through me like an open door
You disregarded me like an open door, dismissing my presence


Do I exist to you anymore?
Do I have any meaning to you now?


'Cause when I'm talking to you, There's someone else that you're hearing
You are not even listening to me, it's as if there's someone else in the room


I gave you all the love I had, And I almost gave you one more chance, Then you put one in the chamber, And shot my heart of glass
I had given you everything I had, gave you one more chance, and you still betrayed me which completely shattered me


This time will be the last
I'm done and leaving for good, no more chances


You've played your game, used me like a pawn
You played me and used me like a pawn in your game


Check mate, you're done and then you were gone
You have reached your final move, and then you left


Did I moved too fast? I thought we would last
Did I move too fast, or did we not work because we moved too fast?


Now that you're through, I can't feel your soul
Now that you're done, I can no longer feel connected to you


Where there was love lies an empty hole
An empty hole represents where the love once was and now where there is nothing


'Cause when I make love to you, It's else that you're feeling
Now when we are intimate, you are feeling something completely different


For so many nights, I've been standing at the wall, Blind folded with cigarette, Waiting for the fall
For countless nights, I've been standing at a wall, blindfolded, with a cigarette, waiting for it all to crumble


I gave you all the love I had, And I almost gave you one more chance, Then you put one in the chamber, And shot my heart of glass
I gave you my all and almost forgave you, but you still betrayed me completely


This time will be the last
I'm done this time, no more chances or forgiveness
