Room
Palehound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Growing like a clover
In my room
In my room
'Ever, 'ever
Curling as we shiver
In my room
Never realized
Never felt so painless
In my room
In my room
A turn over her
Never had a lover
In my room
In my room
She keeps me up
She keeps me up
At night
She keeps me up, at night
Call us sinners
But we eat all our dinners
In my room
In my room
Bet she picnics
Always been a sickness
In my room
In my room
There's a clean fog mist
In the dark spot
In my room
In my room
Rest your head near
I'm feeling okay here
In my room
In my room
She keeps me up
She keeps me up
At night
She keeps me up, at night
She keeps me up
She keeps me up
At night
She keeps me up, at night
"Palehound's song Room" seems to be about the comfort, safety, and intimacy of a new relationship. The song begins with the singer describing a new person in their life, who is growing on them like a clover. The two individuals spend time together in the safety of the singer's room, always cold and curling up together. This is a new experience for the singer, who had never loved someone so painlessly and had never had this kind of intimate connection with someone. This is why the singer is so content in their room, feeling okay there, and being kept up at night by the new lover.
The line "Call us sinners, but we eat all our dinners in my room" seems to suggest that the two individuals are spending so much time together that they've created a sort of bubble, shutting out the outside world. This creates an almost secretive, intimate relationship, one where the two of them are safe and anonymous.
The bridge talks about a clean fog and a dark spot, which can be interpreted as the state of the singer falling deep into their new relationship, unable to see the outside world clearly. This new person is all-consuming, and the singer almost falls into a haze around them.
Overall, Room showcases the intoxicating and addicting rush of falling in love with someone, the safety of being in a private bubble with that person, and the peace that comes from shutting out the outside world.
