Voices
Hôtel Morphée Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t know what to do with
These voices in my head
Try as I might, I can’t put them aside.
I could end up dead.



I’ve been moving around
From place to lonely place
I carry a choir in my head every hour.
Whose song I can’t forget.

I drank till I got tired.
To slowly fade away
I can still hear them whispering themes.
I haven’t slept in days.

Go on do those
Things you’d like to
Do but simply
Don’t do you must
Dare undo those
Things that keep us
Singing in your head.

And they say...

Go on do those
Things you’d like to
Do but simply
Don’t do you must
Dare undo those




Things that keep us
Singing in your head

Overall Meaning

The song "Voices" by Hôtel Morphée is a poignant portrayal of the internal struggles and turmoil that many individuals face daily. The lyrics of the song describe the artist’s restless state of mind plagued by the persistent presence of the "voices" in their head that they cannot seem to silence. The song captures the feeling of being stuck in a cyclical state of being unable to escape their inner demons. The artist expresses their frustration with the voices that persist in their head despite their best efforts to ignore them. This sense of hopelessness and despair is heightened by the artist's recognition that the voices may ultimately lead them towards an unfortunate end.


As the song progresses, the artist elaborates on the idea that they are unable to shake their inner voices, and instead, they carry them with them wherever they go. The lyrics suggest that the artist is struggling with a sense of loneliness and isolation as they move from one lonely place to another. The voices that accompany them serve as a constant source of torment wherever they go. The artist uses the metaphor of a choir to describe the persistence of the voices, painting a picture of a collection of voices all singing different songs.


In the chorus, the artist implores the listener to confront the things that hold them back, daring them to "undo those things that keep us singing in your head." The repetition of this phrase serves to underline the severity of the artist's struggle as they try to rid themselves of the ever-present voices in their head, implying that overcoming these obstacles may be the only way they can find some semblance of peace.
