Museum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a hundred open doors
There's a whisper on the stairways
In every second floor
You know all room is infinate
You know you cannot fly
We try to fill the void with indifference
For him who is
For him we cannot find
For him who knows
We fill the room with obscure relatives in every second floor
Your seventh son
Your seventh sister's lover's gonna come
It's seven stairways to the room where we belong
There's a question in the darkness
There's a hundred open doors
Our steps injure the dust
And we forget what we came here for
There's a whisper in the darkness
There are hundred traps
Gleaming eyes on the corridor watching every single step
Your seventh son
Your seventh sister's lover's gonna come
It's seven stairways to the room where we belong
We fill the rooms with fake calmness
Our eyes persuaded to be blind
You know all room is infinate
You know we cannot fly
"Eden" by Museum is a poetic and enigmatic song that conveys a sense of mystery and disorientation. The song's lyrics suggest a search for meaning and purpose, yet feeling lost and disconnected from what was once familiar. The song opens with the lines "There's a question in the darkness, there's a hundred open doors, there's a whisper on the stairways in every second floor", which sets the tone for the song. These lines suggest that there are mysteries to be solved and paths to be explored, yet there is a sense of uncertainty and confusion.
As the song progresses, the lyrics suggest a desire to find something or someone that is missing, but there is a sense of disconnection and unease. The lines "For him who is, for him we cannot find, for him who knows, we fill the room with obscure relatives in every second floor" suggest a sense of yearning for the unknown, yet the search is futile and unfulfilling. The lyrics also suggest a sense of being trapped, with "hundred traps gleaming eyes on the corridor watching every single step" creating a sense that there is no escape from this cycle of searching and not finding.
The song's chorus, "Your seventh son, your seventh sister's lover's gonna come, it's seven stairways to the room where we belong", is a reference to the myth of seven generations eventually finding their way back to the ancestral home. However, in the context of the song, it suggests a similar cycle of searching for something that is always just out of reach. The final lines, "We fill the rooms with fake calmness, our eyes persuaded to be blind, you know all room is infinite, you know we cannot fly", suggest a sense of resignation and acceptance of this cycle, even if it ultimately leads to nowhere.
Line by Line Meaning
There's a question in the darkness
Uncertainty plagues us even in the absence of light.
There's a hundred open doors
Opportunities abound but none stand out.
There's a whisper on the stairways
An eerie sense of something beyond our senses.
In every second floor
In the in-between space where nothing much happens.
You know all room is infinite
The possibilities within are boundless but overwhelming.
You know you cannot fly
We are grounded and limited by the constraints of reality.
We try to fill the void with indifference
Our apathy towards our surroundings is a way to cope with the futility of our actions.
And watch with orphan eyes
Our detachment from our environment makes us feel alone and abandoned.
For him who is
In search of something beyond our understanding.
For him we cannot find
Despite our efforts, we remain lost in our pursuit.
For him who knows
Those who have found meaning have surpassed our consciousness.
We fill the room with obscure relatives in every second floor
Our surroundings are filled with meaningless objects that we barely notice.
Your seventh son
The arrival of someone important.
Your seventh sister's lover's gonna come
The arrival of someone significant yet disconnected from oneself.
It's seven stairways to the room where we belong
There are several paths we must take to reach our true destination.
Our steps injure the dust
Our presence causes damage to the environment we inhabit.
And we forget what we came here for
We lose sight of our initial purpose as our journey continues.
There's a whisper in the darkness
A faint message that we strain to comprehend.
There are hundred traps
There are many distractions that hinder us from making progress.
Gleaming eyes on the corridor watching every single step
Anxiety and paranoia set in as we become more aware of the dangers around us.
We fill the rooms with fake calmness
We attempt to mask our fears and uncertainties with a pretense of serenity.
Our eyes persuaded to be blind
We choose to ignore the unpleasant truths of our existence.
You know all room is infinite
The endless possibilities within our surroundings are overwhelming.
You know we cannot fly
We must accept our limitations and work through our struggles within the confines set by our reality.
