The Chamber
Lenny Kravitz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You killed the love that was once so strong
With no regret to what you did wrong
Should I stay and fight? Can we make this right?
You looked through me like an open door
Do I exist to you anymore?
'Cause when I'm talking to you
There's someone else that you're hearing
I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

You've played your game, used me like a pawn
Check mate, you're done and then you were gone
Did I moved too fast? I thought we would last
Now that you're through, I can't feel your soul
Where there was love lies an empty hole
'Cause when I make love to you
It's else that you're feeling

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last
I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

For so many nights
I've been standing at the wall
Blind folded with cigarette
Waiting for the fall

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber
And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

I gave you all the love I had
And I almost gave you one more chance
Then you put one in the chamber




And shot my heart of glass
This time will be the last

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lenny Kravitz's song The Chamber tells a story of a relationship that has gone wrong. The singer speaks about how the love that was once strong has been killed with no regret to what was done wrong. The singer is conflicted about whether to stay and fight to make things right or move on. They feel like they no longer exist to their partner anymore, and when they try to communicate, their words fall on deaf ears as someone else is being heard. The singer gave their all to the relationship and even came close to giving their partner another chance, but instead, they put a bullet in the chamber and shot the singer's heart of glass. The singer realizes this will be the last time they allow themselves to be hurt, and they are finally moving on.


The song is a powerful representation of what it feels like to have your heart broken by someone who has taken advantage of your love. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who has been used like a pawn and left feeling empty, with nothing but an empty hole where love once existed. The singer is left wondering if they moved too fast and questioning whether the relationship was ever meant to last. We see them standing blindfolded with a cigarette, waiting for the fall.


Overall, The Chamber is a deeply emotional and melancholic song that speaks to anyone who has been hurt by a relationship. The lyrics reflect the sadness, anger, and sense of loss that can come with losing the love of your life.


Line by Line Meaning

You killed the love that was once so strong
You destroyed our strong love with no regret or remorse


With no regret to what you did wrong
You have no remorse for the mistakes you made


Should I stay and fight? Can we make this right?
Wondering if fighting for the relationship and fixing it is still possible


You looked through me like an open door
You no longer see me or recognize me


Do I exist to you anymore?
Am I still a part of your life or you have moved on completely?


'Cause when I'm talking to you There's someone else that you're hearing
You seem to be talking or listening to another person when we are talking


I gave you all the love I had And I almost gave you one more chance Then you put one in the chamber And shot my heart of glass This time will be the last
I gave you all my love and was about to forgive you for all your mistakes, but instead, you broke my heart again


You've played your game, used me like a pawn Check mate, you're done and then you were gone Did I moved too fast? I thought we would last
You played your game with me, used me, and then left. I wonder if I took things too fast and for granted


Now that you're through, I can't feel your soul Where there was love lies an empty hole 'Cause when I make love to you It's else that you're feeling
After you left, I feel like I no longer know you, and there's an emptiness where love once resided. When we make love, it feels like someone else is there with you.


For so many nights I've been standing at the wall Blind folded with cigarette Waiting for the fall
I have been standing alone for many nights, smoking and waiting for something to change or to happen


This time will be the last
I'm done trying to fix this relationship; this will be the final time
