In My Room
Beach Boys - Greatest Hits (1997) [FLAC] {Steve Hoffman Mastered} Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a world where I can go
And tell my secrets to
In my room
In my room

In this world I lock out
All my worries and my fears
In my room
In my room

Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday

Now it's dark and I'm alone
But I won't be afraid




In my room
In my room

The song emphasizes the value of personal space as a means to find solace and solitudes. The lyrics throughout the song suggests that the singer walks into his room and shuts the door to block out worries and fear.
