Bed
Broox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Laying on the floor staring at the ceiling cause I want to
Cause i want you, oh
I tell myself lies, tell myself lies that you can see through
I want to see you, oooh oh

Oh oooh
Oooh, oooh
So lay with me under the covers
I know, we both know, we think about each other all the time
So baby wont you be my lover
We'll lay here and hide from the thunder
Even though we both know there's nothing to be afraid of
We just like to pretend so we can stay up and stay home
And make love
Oh take off my shirt and you take off your makeup
We show each other what we are made of
What we're made of
We show each other what we're made of





Oh ohh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Broox's song "Bed" depict the desperation and longing for someone that you can't have. The opening line, "Laying on the floor staring at the ceiling cause I want to, cause I want you" sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is consumed with thoughts of this person and is lying on the floor alone, wishing they were there. However, they also acknowledge that they are lying to themselves, "I tell myself lies, tell myself lies that you can see through". It's unclear if these lies are to convince themselves that the person feels the same way, or if it's a way to cope with the pain of unrequited love.


The chorus of the song introduces the idea that both parties are aware of the situation. "I know, we both know, we think about each other all the time". The singer is asking the person to give in to their feelings and be with them, "So baby won't you be my lover". They want to hide away with this person and forget about the outside world, "We'll lay here and hide from the thunder, even though we both know there's nothing to be afraid of, we just like to pretend so we can stay up and stay home, and make love". It's interesting that the lyrics suggest that they both know that there is nothing to be scared of, but they still want to pretend. This could indicate that they enjoy the thrill of the forbidden more than they actually fear being caught.


The second verse is more intimate than the first. The singer wants to spend time with the person they love, taking off their shirt and makeup to reveal their true selves. "We show each other what we are made of". It's a vulnerable moment, and the lyrics suggest that both parties are willing to let their guard down with each other.


Overall, the song "Bed" portrays the agony of wanting someone you can't have, and the moments of escape that are possible when you're with them. The lyrics suggest that both parties know that being together is not realistic, but they can't help their feelings.

on Mom

I've been staying up too late
Just so I can burn one
I've been making too many mistakes
That I don't ever learn from
I've been feeling guilty
Cause I'm not what I could be
I wish that they could still see
I wish they understood me

I wish I had a time machine
I wish I had a time machine
I wish I had a time machine
I wish I had a time machine

I just wanna feel alright
I just want discussion
I just want to sleep all night,
with no fucking interruptions
I wanna be a trophy
I wanna have an owner
I just want you to hold me
Until all of this is over

I wish I had a time machine
I wish I had a time machine
I wish I had a time machine
I wish I had a time machine
