In My Room
Hammond Jr Albert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can hear you as you walk away
You are in my room
That's where I'll be
In my room
After all you're so excited
By all the dick you get invited to
You mustn't change
I won't go back
'Cause you don't want me
Well, I miss you already
I miss you already (ooh)
You see it all got so heavy
I miss you already
I'm so afraid that I'll wake up
All alone with the door shut
In my room
That's where I'll be
In my room
She's in my room
Well, I miss you already
I miss you already
You see it all got so heavy (eh)
Well, I miss you already
In Albert Hammond Jr.'s song 'In My Room' the lyrics most likely refer to the feeling of abandonment and loss after a breakup or falling out with someone important. The opening lines 'What's the use of all this talking / I can hear you as you walk away' suggest that the singer has tried to communicate his feelings or thoughts on the matter, but the other person has left without addressing them, leaving him feeling unheard and alone. The chorus, which repeats the line 'I miss you already', solidifies this interpretation and underscores the feeling of longing and sadness.
The lines 'After all you're so excited / By all the (?) you get invited to' could refer to the other person moving on with their life, perhaps through meeting new people or engaging in new experiences, while the singer is left behind. The line 'But now I know you mustn't change' could suggest that the singer wishes the other person had stayed the same, highlighting the pain that comes with change and loss.
The refrain 'In my room / There's where I'll be / She's in my room' implies that despite the distance and separation from the other person, the singer still feels their presence - either through memories, thoughts, or even physical objects that once belonged to them. The final lines 'I'm so afraid / That I wake up / All alone with the door shut' further emphasize the fear and isolation that the singer is experiencing, suggesting that he is struggling to move on from the relationship.
Line by Line Meaning
What's the use of all this talking
There's no point in speaking as I already know you're leaving
I can hear you as you walk away
I can hear the sound of your footsteps as you leave
Your in my room
Even though you're gone, I can still feel your presence in my room
That's where I'll be
I'll be alone in my room with my thoughts
In my room
My safe space where I can be alone with my feelings
After all you're so excited
You're caught up in the thrill of all the parties and events you attend
By all the (?) you get invited to
You're invited to many exciting events that keep you busy
But now I know you mustn't change
I now realize that you're not going to change your ways
I won't go back
I won't try to change you or our situation
'Cause you don't want me
Because you don't want to be with me
I miss you already
I already feel the pain of missing you
You see, it all got so heavy
Our relationship became too difficult and weighty to bear
I'm so afraid
I'm scared of being alone
That I wake up
I fear waking up in the morning
All alone with the door shut
Terrified of being isolated with no escape
She's in my room
Even though she's gone, her spirit is still in my room with me
