In The Amber Room
Faith and the Muse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With many rooms and open doors
And I always let love in
It would change the rooms around and then
Leave them empty
'Til one by one I locked each door
And soon forgot what love was for
So I left just one door open
In case you found me
So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you
We'll paint the walls from blue to white
And set the mood by candlelight
Together we'll keep out the cold
And I'll still be there when we're old
If you'll let me
So there's a room in my heart for you
If your trust has been stolen too
If you walk softly on this worn out wooden floor
And leave behind you the hurt you've had before
There's a room in my heart for you
The song "In The Amber Room" by Faith and the Muse is a heartwarming tune about the power of love to heal and rejuvenate. The song opens with a metaphorical image comparing the singer's heart to a home, with many rooms and open doors. The singer has always been open to love, allowing it to change the rooms around, but it always leaves them empty, which makes the singer forget what love is for. As a result, the singer decided to lock each door, leaving just one open in case someone reliable finds this soul.
Then, the song becomes an invitation to this person who understands the hurt of having their trust stolen to enter the open door, walk softly on the worn-out wooden floor leaving behind their past and fill the empty room in the singer's heart. Together, they will paint the walls from blue to white, set the mood by candlelight, and keep the cold out. The singer assures that they will still be together even when they are old if the other person lets them stay.
Overall, the song is a beautiful expression of love's power to heal, given its ability to fill the empty spaces in a person's heart if they are open to it.
