hotel
Kita Alexander Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Almost every night to get you off my mind
Running down my eyes
Taste like turpentine
Why can't I say goodbye?
I've been standing in the sand
Praying for the waves and
Because you used to say
"Someday you'll find me
Where the champagne is always free
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven
We'll be somewhere in between
Somewhere in between"
When we're young again
Will you call my name?
Will you still know my face?
Tie me down with pain
Take it all away
You told me I've got to wait
I've been standing in the sand
Praying for the wave but
I know now it's not the end
Because you used to say
"Someday you'll find me
Where the champagne is always free
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven
We'll be somewhere in between
When everything I want goes out the door
No choice to leave the house in search of something more
Is there darkness if I dive beneath the waves
Or will it be just like you always used to say
Someday when you find me
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
Someday when you meet me
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
Someday when you find me
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
Someday when you meet me
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven we'll be somewhere in between
In Kita Alexander's song "Hotel," the singer is struggling to move on from a past relationship. She confesses that she has been getting high every night to try and forget the person who she can't say goodbye to. Her tears taste like turpentine, which could represent the bitterness of the situation. She questions whether or not the person will remember her when they are older and if they will still feel the same way about each other. The singer then reflects on a memory where the other person told her that they would meet one another in a hotel by the sea where the champagne is always free. They will both know it's not a dream, but it won't be like heaven or hell, rather somewhere in between, which could represent the idea of reconciliation or acceptance of the situation. The singer still holds onto hope that they will find each other again one day.
The lyrics of the song touch on a relatable sentiment that captures the listener's emotions. The song's theme of holding onto hope despite the uncertainty of the future is something many can relate to. The song provides comfort to those who are searching for answers in their own relationships or personal lives. The use of the metaphorical "hotel by the sea" also adds depth to the song, suggesting that despite the past, there is still a connection for the singer and her ex.
Line by Line Meaning
I've been gettin' high
I've been using drugs to cope with my thoughts
Almost every night to get you off my mind
I use drugs to forget about you
Running down my eyes
I cry constantly
Taste like turpentine
My tears are bitter
Why can't I say goodbye?
I struggle to end my attachment to you
I've been standing in the sand
I'm stuck in one place emotionally
Praying for the waves and
I hope to be rescued from this hurt
Everything'll be fine in the end
I'm optimistic that things will improve
Because you used to say
Your words still resonate with me
"Someday you'll find me
You promised a future together
Where the champagne is always free
A place without worries
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
A metaphor for a perfect life
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
We will reunite in reality
It won't be hell or heaven
Our life will be balanced
We'll be somewhere in between
Our life together will not be perfect, but it will be worth it
When we're young again
Reflecting on a past relationship
Will you call my name?
Will you remember me?
Will you still know my face?
Do you still think of me?
Tie me down with pain
I am emotionally stuck on you
Take it all away
I want to forget about you
You told me I've got to wait
You made me wait for something that never happened
When everything I want goes out the door
When I lose everything I desire
No choice to leave the house in search of something more
I cannot escape my feelings
Is there darkness if I dive beneath the waves
Will I find more pain if I confront my emotions?
Or will it be just like you always used to say
Will our reunion be as perfect as you promised?
Someday when you find me
I still hope to reunite with you
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
I'll still be emotionally stuck
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
I'll finally have you back in my life
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
We will reunite in reality
It won't be hell or heaven we'll be somewhere in between
Our life together will not be perfect, but it will be worth it

[Verse 1]
I've been gettin' high
Almost every night
To get you off my mind
Running down my eyes
Taste like turpentine
Why can't I say goodbye?
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been standing in the sand
Praying for the waves and
Everything'll be fine in the end
Because you used to say
[Chours]
Someday you'll find me
Where the champagne is always free
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven
We'll be somewhere in between
Somewhere in between
[Verse 2]
When we're young again
Will you call my name?
Will you still know my face?
Tie me down with pain
Take it all away
You told me I've got to wait
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been standing in the sand
Praying for the wave but
I know now it's not the end
Because you used to say
[Chorus]
Someday you'll find me
Where the champagne is always free
When you check into the hotel where the skyline meets the sea
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven
We'll be somewhere in between
Somewhere in between
[Verse 3]
When everything I want goes out the door
No choice to leave the house in search of something more
Is there darkness if I dive beneath the waves
Or will it be just like you always used to say
[Refrain]
Someday when you find me
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
Someday when you meet me
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
[Refrain]
Someday when you find me
I'll be wading in the water, wading in the water
Someday when you meet me
We will hold onto each other, hold onto each other
[Outro]
One day you'll meet me and you'll know it's not a dream
It won't be hell or heaven we'll be somewhere in between

@emmmmalouisee7
The fact this is about her late sister makes it so so much more meaningful ❤️😭
@savagegirl479
Emma Louise is it really about her late sister
@andrewszombie
Awww 😞😥😥
@cass3004
@@savagegirl479 I just read it is. Kita said in an interview that the entire Hotel EP is dedicated to her sister Tash and Hotel is about dealing with the loss. I never knew this, I had interpreted the song as about a romantic partner. Changes it so much, makes it even more beautiful.
