Four Walls
Broods Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You walked in and said, "I've got some news
I didn't say all I wanted to
You know I told you that I wasn't scared. Well, I lied."
You told me, "Babe I only think of you."
And I said, "All I've got is a bunch of sad stories."
And I told them all before the night was through
And we cried, oh, but we're here now
And I'm trying hard to make you love me but I don't wanna try too hard
And I'm trying hard to take it lightly but we're here now

Those four walls now are the only place that I can breathe out
And those four walls now are home
Those four walls now are the only place that I can feel
Those four walls now are home

I wanna make you feel how I feel when I'm listening to love songs
I wanna take you to the peak of everything that you are
You're everything I need tonight
And I'm trying hard to make you want me
But I don't wanna try too hard
I was thinking you got what you came for
But you're here now

Those four walls now are the only place that I can breathe out
Those four walls now are home
Those four walls now are the only place that I can feel
Those four walls now are home

Falling at the hand of a perfect man
Falling at the hand of a perfect man

Those four walls now are the only place that I can breathe out
Those four walls now are home
Those three words now are the only thing that came to save me
Those three words now are home





Falling at the hand of a perfect man

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BROODS's song Four Walls explore the themes of love, vulnerability, and finding a safe space within an intimate relationship. In this song, the singer's partner reveals some news that unsettles her, causing her to open up about her own vulnerabilities and insecurities. The singer expresses her desire to be loved but also fears trying too hard, suggesting a sense of hesitance and perhaps even apprehension in fully investing in the relationship. Despite this, she finds solace in the four walls of their shared space together, where she can breathe out and feel at home.


The repetitive phrases throughout the song, "those four walls now are home" and "falling at the hand of a perfect man," emphasize a sense of safety, comfort, and certainty that the singer has found within the confines of her relationship. The repetition also serves to reinforce the idea of home, while the "perfect man" perhaps symbolizes her partner as someone who has helped her feel safe and grounded.

Yet you are currently present, suggesting that perhaps there is something more you desire


Falling at the hand of a perfect man
Succumbing to the influence of a flawless individual


Those three words now are the only thing that came to save me
These three specific words are the sole salvation that arrived at my aid


Those three words now are home
Those three words provide a sense of belonging

absolutely man, this band so underated. their live was so amazing

I still remember how obsessed I was with this song in 2014 and I'm still obsessed with it now. The person who I was when I was 18 is still the same with my current self. I may have changed tremendously over the past few years but somewhere deep inside, every piece of me is still there. I buried my past self in songs that I love, that fact will never change. I love this song back then because I was in a foreign place, designated to study for a year and far away from my family. I wasn't in love with anyone but those four walls, I felt secure temporarily. Still amazed with this tune!

Sabrina Amran

and I just realized I could only relate with the chorus back then, but somewhere along the way I understand the lyrics better now. It's bittersweet but I wouldn't change a thing. wow I've changed so much I'm crying!

This song transfers me to another place where my troubles can't find me. It's so beautiful and emotional. I love your voice it sounds so gentle yet it's like the emotion rips into it making kit all the more heart wrenching. Thank you so much for such a master piece and giving me something to run away to <3

Cece_Mich

This is perfection. <3333 Amazing in every way.
