Slammin Doors
Jason Greeley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of this hotel room
With my foolish pride
I yelled at you you screamed at me
We both said some awful things we didn't mean
If I could take it back I would
But what's done is done
And now life ain't what it should
Chorus
So I don't wanna fight no more
I don't know what we're fighting for
All I hear is Slammin Doors And you walking away
Maybe we could work it out
Trying not to scream and shout
Find out what it's all about
Because I still love you
Yeah you heard me, I still Love you
It's lonely out there
When you live life alone
When your out on the road and you ain't gotta a home
I roam from town to town further away
From the problems that I faced only yesterday
But I'm on my knees praying to heaven above
What's the meaning of life if you ain't got love
Chorus
No matter what I do the fact remains the same
I slowly driving myself insane
I wanna take back those nasty things that I said
I got carried away and I lost my head
Chorus
The song "Slammin Doors" by Jason Greeley is a heartfelt ballad about the aftermath of an argument between two lovers. The singer finds himself stuck in a hotel room at 4 am with "foolish pride" after he and his significant other exchanged harsh words. While both parties said things that they didn't mean, the damage has been done, and it's too late to take them back. The song explores the desire to reconcile, to find out what the fight was all about, and to salvage the relationship. The chorus repeats the refrain "I don't wanna fight no more, all I hear is slammin doors and you walking away" as the singer longs for peace, and the desire to work things out.
The verses paint a picture of a lonely life on the road, where the singer roams from town to town, thinking about his problems and how far he is from home. He finds himself on his knees, praying for guidance and the meaning of life without love. The song ends with the singer owning up to his mistakes, acknowledging that he needs to take back what he said, and admitting that he's been driving himself crazy.
Overall, "Slammin Doors" is a poignant song about the pain of arguing with someone you love and the desire to make things right. It showcases Greeley's emotive vocals, the sparse instrumentation, and the use of repetition to emphasize the central theme of the song.
