13. A Matter Of Time
Chromatics Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know why
I knocked at your door
I don't know why
But I can't wait anymore

It's like we're all frozen now
Just like ice in a glass
I didn't come here for answers
I just needed a laugh

When you look deep inside yourself
Well tell me what do you see
Confusion of time again
Or someplace frozen with me

You know love never turns out
The way we all plan
But the door is still open
So give me your hand
Give me your hand
Give me your hand

Time is stretching on
And it keeps on repeating
As the beat goes on
Our dreams have all vanished now
We really thought we could win

But the door is still open
So come on in
And give me your hand
Give me your hand




Give me your hand
Give me your hand

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chromatics' "At Your Door" explore the human emotions of longing and uncertainty. The singer expresses a need to connect with someone - knocking at someone's door - but doesn't know why. The feeling of being "frozen," like a glass of ice, suggests a sense of stasis or stagnation, perhaps due to a lack of answers or direction. The singer didn't come seeking solutions, but rather seeking escape: "I just needed a laugh."


The song suggests a deeper struggle beneath the surface. The line "confusion of time again" implies a sense of deja vu or repetition, a frustration with the cycle of things. The singer wonders what the other person sees when they "look deep inside" themselves. Is it also a confusion of time, or do they see something else entirely? Despite the uncertainty, there's a desire to make a connection and hold on: "the door is still open, so give me your hand."
