Walkin In My Room
The lyrics of Daniel Wesley's song "In My Room" conveys a sense of secret and hidden love. The first verse speaks about the presence of the person that the singer loves, who is living in his/her drawer. The use of this metaphorical device enhances the impression of intimacy and secrecy, as if the person is hiding and unknown by others. The second verse carries the message that the person, who is the subject of the song, will never know the depth and extent of the singer's feelings for her/him. Moreover, the repetition of "walkin in my room" at the end of the song conveys a sense of longing, perhaps even desperation, that the singer feels towards this person.
Although the lyrics lack specificity or details about the relationship between the singer and the person he/she loves, the use of metaphors and repetition, along with the choice of words, provide a sense of imagery, emotion, and vulnerability. The song seems to be about a secret, unrequited or unspoken love, that is hidden, perhaps even suppressed, but nevertheless intense.
