Soundproof Box
Bitter Ruin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Life is hard living as a ghost
When all I try to do is touch you
My fingers disappear into you
I must be shouting into

A soundproof box
Where nothing can be heard it's locked
I'm wasting my last breath
Into a soundproof you

I'm so close I'm moving your hairs
By breathing onto your skin, that feeling
But you brush away the sensation
A frown, I'm disappearing
Into

A soundproof box
Where nothing can be heard it's locked
I'm wasting my last breath
Into a soundproof you

And you're never coming back

A soundproof box
Where nothing can be heard it's locked




I'm wasting my last breath
Into a soundproof you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bitter Ruin's "Soundproof Box" describe a feeling of isolation and frustration in a relationship. The singer feels like a ghost, unable to connect with their partner despite their efforts to reach out and touch them. Instead, they feel like their words and actions disappear into a soundproof box, where nothing they do can be heard or felt. This feeling of being unheard and unseen is compounded by the fact that their partner does not seem to reciprocate their affection - they brush away the singer's attempts to connect with them, leaving the singer feeling like they are disappearing into the soundproof box forever.


The metaphor of the soundproof box is a powerful one, evoking a sense of being trapped and unable to communicate. The singer's desperate attempts to break through the box and reach their partner are futile, as the box is locked and nothing can be heard. The repetition of the phrase "I'm wasting my last breath" emphasizes the hopelessness of the situation - the singer is expending all of their energy and emotion trying to reach their partner, but they are not being heard. Ultimately, the song ends on a note of resignation, with the final line "and you're never coming back" suggesting that the relationship is doomed to fail.


Overall, "Soundproof Box" is a powerful meditation on the difficulty of communication in relationships and the frustration of feeling unheard and unseen. The lyrics are raw and emotional, with a sense of desperation that is palpable throughout the song.
