My Room
Before the Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One more time in this room like friends
Moments past a thousand times, we stood frozen from the lies
Moments past a thousand times
Once I made my monsters die I can rest my thoughts tonight
This what seems to be wrong is right once I made my monsters die
Step aside just to see the reasons
Selfish thoughts become the needs, prepare what needed to be like new
And many times I needed you
The lyrics to Before the Dawn's song "My Room" depict a longing for a friend or loved one to enter the singer's private domain. The opening lines, "Step inside in to my room, seems like ages I have waited you" suggest that the singer has been eagerly anticipating the arrival of someone special, perhaps to escape the outside world and share some time together. The phrase "one more time in this room like friends" indicates a wish for intimacy and companionship, with the singer craving moments of connection amidst the lies and deceptions they have encountered in their life.
As the song progresses, the lyrics touch on themes of self-discovery and inner healing. The words "Once I made my monsters die I can rest my thoughts tonight" suggest that the singer has confronted their demons and emerged victorious, finding peace and solace in their own company. Despite any challenges they have faced, the singer believes that "what seems to be wrong is right once I made my monsters die", indicating a sense of empowerment and liberation. As the song comes to a close, the lyrics become somewhat enigmatic, with the singer talking about the last of times with their companion, preparing for change and renewal, and acknowledging their need for the other person's support.
