Museum
CLEWS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The day I was born
I heard my mother's voice
"Don't be afraid
You have everything you want"
Things don't come in threes
That's just something people say
Because patterns make things easy
Patterns make things easy

Your room is like a museum
Your room is like a museum

It's Valentine's Day
She makes you go to school
Your family loves you
But it's really not enough
Than you for being here
But you can all go home
There's always someone
Then you're crushed when they don't show

Your room is like a museum
Your room is like a museum

Something slips into my heart
A dual-precision
You move on, you've grown so much
To come back to this spot

Your room is like a museum





Your room is like a museum

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to CLEWS's song "Museum" delve into themes of comfort, fear, isolation, and the complex dynamics of relationships. The opening lines, "The day I was born, I heard my mother's voice, 'Don't be afraid, you have everything you want'," speak to the initial comfort and security we experience as children, guided by our parents' soothing words. However, as the song progresses, it becomes clear that this sense of security may not be enough.


The repetition of the line "Your room is like a museum" suggests a feeling of stagnation and confinement. It symbolizes a space that is frozen in time, filled with memories and possessions, yet devoid of growth and change. The museum-like quality of the room highlights the singer's longing for something more, a sense of adventure or escape from the monotony of their surroundings.


The chorus of the song, "Something slips into my heart, a dual-precision, you move on, you've grown so much, to come back to this spot," reveals a bittersweet reflection on personal growth and the cyclical nature of life. Despite experiencing growth and change, the singer finds themselves returning to familiar patterns and places. This repetition may evoke a sense of dissatisfaction or confusion, as they grapple with the paradox of moving forward yet feeling trapped.


Overall, "Museum" explores the complexities of human emotion and the longing for something beyond the familiar. It captures the tension between comfort and the desire for growth, highlighting the inherent contradictions that exist within ourselves and our relationships.

To come back to this spot
Only to return to this particular place
