Romeo
Covered in Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bathroom floors are hard
It is easy to slip
You like it alone
Do not speak a lot
Except when we look back
The walls are thin
He sleeps so bad
That you did to yourself
Will this ever end?
And close, close behind the big wall
That you built in your youth
He is with you now
How could it end up like this
You never cared about funds
Now there's nothing left
And you know your place
More than ever before
Who wants to employ?
The walls are thin
He sleeps so bad
And I hear some heartbreaking things
That you did to yourself
Will this ever end?
And close, close behind the big wall
That you built in your youth
He is with you now
And I hear some heartbreaking things
That you did to yourself
Will this ever end?
And close, close behind the big wall
That you built in your youth
He is with you now
The lyrics to Covered in Snow's song Romeo are haunting and introspective, hinting at a sense of loneliness and regret. The opening lines, "Stairs are edgy these days, bathroom floors are hard, it is easy to slip," suggest a sense of unease and physical discomfort. The singer then goes on to describe their partner, who likes to be alone and doesn't speak much. They mention the thin walls and how the partner sleeps badly, hearing "heartbreaking things" that the partner has done to themselves.
The chorus repeats the lines, "Will this ever end? And close, close behind the big wall that you built in your youth, he is with you now." These lines suggest a sense of entrapment and hopelessness, as if the partner is stuck in a cycle of self-destructive behavior and is unable to break free from it. The last verse mentions the lack of funds and the singer's realization of their place, perhaps feeling trapped in a relationship that is not sustainable or healthy.
Overall, the lyrics to Romeo explore themes of loneliness, regret, and the destructive cycle of self-harm. The repetition of certain phrases and the somber tone of the song highlight the emotional weight of these themes.
