A Room Without View
Doomshine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pain miles away, I believe when I pray
almighty dark shield, stay true blue
patronize me in bloom
peace on my path, there`s no need to vent my wrath
waves low enough, heavy gales not too rough
erase the evil, the storm shall come
nightfall, the visions are cruel
lose all as the storm reconquers
you will fall
a room without view
fate calls as your house of cards falls down
golden rules leave you stranded
timeworn boat on arctic seas
sudden winds tease your canvas
you can`t define your boundaries
aimed shot in the dark
strike white pointer sharks
you can`t be free in misery
when dead angels cry
master doom will shine
you can be free
The beginning of the song speaks of dreams being a saving grace for someone stuck in a room without much to view. The use of a canoe and smooth streams imply a calming effect, and the belief in prayer enhances the sense of peace. The words "true blue" may refer to loyalty and steadfastness in the face of difficulties, possibly implying that someone or something, perhaps God, is watching over and protecting the singer. The word "patronize" could be used ironically to mean support, or it could suggest a stifling effect or an attempt to control something.
The second paragraph describes the continuation of peace in the singer's life with a calming ocean and no need to express anger. However, there's still a warning that evil may come and that the world may change. The words "the storm shall come" are ominous, and the contrast between the previous lyrics and these suggest that something unpleasant is yet to come. The final lines of the verse, "the world cools down," could be an allusion to death or an apocalypse, painting a bleak picture of a world coming to an end.
The final paragraph contains images of destruction, as the "storm reconquers" and a "room without a view" suggests imprisonment or entrapment. The words "golden rules leave you stranded" seem to suggest an inability to change or to escape from one's circumstances, and the line "you can't define your boundaries" further emphasises this idea of being trapped. However, the last line is hopeful, suggesting that despite the darkness, the singer can be free, whether by escaping from the room or by finding inner peace.
