Walls
Bitstream Dream Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Turn out the light
Turn off my thoughts for once
Who needs this life
Can't speak
Can't hear
Only the hurt is crystal clear
Need you
When you're near me all is fine
Face in my hands again
These walls
My only friend
Face in my hands again
For all time
Silent room
The light is out
My thoughts are gusts of wind
I'm full of doubt
Don't care, don't know
My only love who doesn't show
And this is why
All I ever do these days is cry
Where are you
Why won't you call
Since you've gone
I talk to the wall
Face in my hands again
These walls
My only friend
Face in my hands again
For all time
In the song "Walls" by Bitstream Dream, the artist broaches the feeling of loneliness quite poignantly. The lyrics are simple and straightforward but hold a lot of depth. The first verse sets the tone for the whole song. The singer wants to turn off everything - the light, their thoughts - because they're feeling beaten down by life. The only thing that they're experiencing vividly is the pain. They crave someone's presence, and when that person is around, everything seems alright again. The second verse is a continuation of the first one, but the setting changes. The singer is in a dark and silent room, and it seems like their thoughts are consuming them. They are uncertain and full of doubt. The person they love doesn't reciprocate those feelings, leaving them feeling lonely and isolated. All they're doing is crying as they're unable to deal with the loneliness.
The chorus is where the theme of the song stands out. The singer puts their face in their hands, relying on the walls to be their only friend. Walls are typically there to create a barrier and protect you, but in this case, they're signifying the opposite. They're showing how the internal walls that we put up inside ourselves, can be isolating and detrimental to our mental health. The singer's plea to the person they love to call them is left unanswered, and the only company they have is the walls. The lyrics highlight how unbearable loneliness can be and how it can push a person to the edge.

My thoughts are gusts of wind
My thoughts are blowing around and I can't control them
I'm full of doubt
I don't believe in anything anymore
Don't care, don't know
I'm apathetic and I don't know what to do
My only love who doesn't show
The person I care about isn't here for me
And this is why
This is the reason why I'm feeling so alone and helpless
All I ever do these days is cry
I can't stop crying
Where are you
I'm looking for you
Why won't you call
I wish you would reach out to me
Since you've gone
I feel like I've lost a part of myself
I talk to the wall
I feel like I'm talking to myself because there's no one else to talk to
For all time
This feeling will never go away

Nice that I don't have to search for mood music on Youtube anymore, I just subscribe to this channel and let it guide me. Great albums on here so far, especially this Bitstream thing.

Fun Fact: Bitstream Dreams albums are a collab project put together by Rom Di Prisco, whose worked on a lot of films and games, he has a Spotify with about 7 albums and a bunch of singles which are all bangers.
