Big White Room
Jessie J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in a big white room alone
Tilt my head back, feel the tears fall down
Close my eyes to see in the dark
I feel young, broken, so so scared

I don't wanna be here anymore
I wanna be somewhere else normal and free, like I used to be
But I have to stay in this big white room
With little old me

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

Sitting in a big white room alone
Close the door don't want the pain to come in
I clench my fist and try to stay strong
I cry, feel sick my hearts beating b-b-b-b-beating neating out of control
Can I run, run faster than you
I wanna feel my body again, feel the wind in my hair, yeah
But I have to stay in this big white room
'Cause no one else cares no

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

Everybody's looking at me, everybody's staring at me
What do I do now, smile, yeah, yeah
Everybody's looking at me, everybody's staring at me
What do I do now, smile

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine
I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine




I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind
I'm going crazy, in this big white room of mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Big White Room" by Jessie J is a powerful and emotional ballad that delves into the feeling of being trapped and alone. The song describes the singer sitting in a big white room alone, feeling young, broken, scared, and losing her mind. She wants to be somewhere else, normal and free, but she can't because she is stuck in this big white room with no one else to turn to. The lyrics also touch on the physical and mental turmoil that the singer is going through, with her heart beating out of control and crying while trying to stay strong.


The opening lines of the song set the tone for the entire track. Sitting alone in a big white room suggests that the singer is in some sort of institution, possibly a mental hospital or rehab center. The emptiness of the room enhances the feeling of loneliness, and the fact that the singer is alone suggests that she has been abandoned by all those who were once close to her. She is tilting her head back, feeling the tears fall down, and closing her eyes to see in the dark, indicating that she is struggling with overwhelming emotions.


The repeated refrain of "I'm going crazy, I'm losing my mind" furthers the idea that the singer is struggling with her mental health. The line "Can I run, run faster than you?" reflects her desire to escape the pain and loneliness she feels. Moreover, the line "Everybody's looking at me, everybody's staring at me" shows the singer's paranoia, and the fact that she feels like she is being observed and scrutinized.


Overall, Jessie J's "Big White Room" is a haunting and poignant song that captures the feeling of being trapped and alone, both physically and mentally. It's a reminder that mental health struggles can be isolating but that there is hope in finding help and support from others.

Putting on a brave face and pretending to be okay in front of others

Her dedication to constantly improving her vocals even tho she's already godtier. Incredible. She sounds even better than ever before. The clarity at 2:07. WOW.

@mr.anonymous247

Gosh she has such a perfect pitch!😭

@banylyrics

A voz dessa mulher acalma o vazio enorme que existe em mim, me sinto acolhida pela voz absurdamente incrível da Jessie. É assim todas as vezes que ouço suas músicas e sempre vou voltar para ouvir novamente só para ter esse abraço.

The first song I ever tried my best to sing was this song. As a person who fought depression and rocked the shit out of it I'm a proud young lady I made an art nonprofit made a podcast named Roses N The Dark and now I opened a cleaning service called Tharow that helps people who are facing the same battle I had to face. Sending love from my Jamaican flavored breadfruit roasting 4c nappy roots 🇯🇲🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️

Jessie entenda: Você é perfeita!!! <3
