In My Room
Albert Hammond Jr. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear you as you walk away
You are in my room
That's where I'll be
In my room
After all you're so excited
By all the dick you get invited to
You mustn't change
I won't go back
'Cause you don't want me
Well, I miss you already
I miss you already (ooh)
You see it all got so heavy
I miss you already
I'm so afraid that I'll wake up
All alone with the door shut
In my room
That's where I'll be
In my room
She's in my room
Well, I miss you already
I miss you already
You see it all got so heavy (eh)
Well, I miss you already
In Albert Hammond Jr.'s song "In My Room," the lyrics are a poignant reflection on loss and heartbreak. The singer laments the end of a relationship and the pain of seeing their former partner move on. The opening lines, "What's the use of all this talkin'? / I can hear you as you walk away," suggest that the breakup has already happened, and there is nothing left to say. The singer is left alone, with only the memory of their former lover lingering in their empty room.
The song's chorus, "Well, I miss you already / I miss you already / You see it all got so heavy," repeats the overwhelming feeling of loss that the singer is experiencing. They acknowledge that the weight of the relationship became too much to bear, but at the same time, they can't help but miss their ex. The line "After all you're so excited / By all the dick you get invited to" further emphasizes the singer's feelings of rejection and inadequacy.
The final stanza, "I'm so afraid that I'll wake up / All alone with the door shut / In my room / That's where I'll be / In my room / She's in my room," encapsulates the fear of being alone and unable to move on from the relationship. The song ends with a sense of uncertainty and sadness, as the singer is forced to come to terms with the fact that their ex has moved on.
