Museum
Radiant Heart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I called you up and then I wrote this poem
Took all the things in all of the museums
And sized it up to see if it still glowed
I guess I just thought you should know
But if you find a new reason to leave here
Don′t lie awake just thinking how to go
I will not fight or make it hard
I won't
I guess I just thought you should know
I've hope
But they are still promising snow
The above lyrics from Radiant Heart's song Museum depict a person's bittersweet feelings about their relationship. The opening line, "The hottest February day on record," sets the scene of an unexpected and abnormal event, much like the person's feelings towards their relationship. The person then reaches out to their significant other and wrote a poem about their emotions. They then use a metaphor of taking all the things in museums and see if it still glowed, which represents examining whether the beauty of the relationship still exists. The lyrics end with the person expressing their hope for the future, but still acknowledging the possibility that it might not work out, as they predict it may still snow.
