Place
Bilmuri Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breathe, rip myself away from sleep
Stare at a hole through the ceiling
I trace all the valleys I have in my mind
Then repeat, I see different shape from all the lack of sleep
Just thinking what the hell is wrong with me?
Have I lost my mind?

Tear down my walls and be real again
When I look in your eyes, I can feel again

I couldn't trust anyone, 'cause I'm too fucking cynical
Too many bruises on my chest
Too much weight and not enough progress
You run through my mind again
As you take all this weight off of my chest
You stitch up the wounds I thought would never close
Please don't be the eye of the storm, eye of the storm

Tear down my walls and be real again
When I look in your eyes, I can feel again
Tear down my walls and be real again
With my hands in your hands, I can feel again

Not stuck in the cycle anymore
Please don't be the eye of the storm
Not stuck in the frame I was before
Please don't be the eye of the storm

I can't be a hurricane, 'cause I know you will be the same
You got me break away from this frame, from this frame

Not stuck in the cycle anymore
Please don't be the eye of the storm




Not stuck in the frame I was before
Please don't be the eye of the storm

Overall Meaning

In Bilmuri's song "Place", the lyrics speak about a person struggling with their own thoughts and emotions while trying to form a connection with someone else. The opening lines describe the singer waking up and feeling detached from reality, constantly questioning their own state of mind. The following lines speak about how the person they are trying to connect with is gradually making them feel safe enough to open up and trust again.


The chorus speaks about the singer wanting the other person to tear down their walls and be honest, rather than just being a temporary refuge from the turmoil in their own mind. The bridge of the song is where the singer admits that they have been too damaged in the past to trust anyone, but the other person's love and care has allowed them to heal and feel more deeply. The final lines convey the singer's fear of being back in their old mindset and asking the other person not to become the "eye of the storm" that sends them spiraling back into their negative thoughts.


Overall, the song's message is one of hope for a person who has suffered past hurt and is working to form a new connection. It speaks to the power of love and kindness from others to help a person heal and trust again.
