Asylum
Rascal Miles Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's quiet, isolated, and spotlessly clean
With a couple of windows
So I can feel the wind blow
And hear the white noise outside as I'm fallin' asleep
And my alarm won't go off
Cause I'll never set it
And if you promise
Not to tell them my address
You could come over
And play hooky with me
And I'll show you the latest of my works in progress
The only person I'll have to be is an artist
And I won't bite my tongue
About who I am to anyone
I won't hold my breath around the general public
And the grocery store
And all of its masses
Can't touch me in my headphones and sunglasses
And if you wanted
To change your pronouns
You could come over
And share a safe space with me
Mmm....
Sometimes I dream that my eyes froze shut
For a hundred years or so until I got woken up
And when I walk outside
No walls hide the sky
I can see for miles and miles in any direction
Take a breath of fresh air
And I feel no older
And I look to you and say "it's finally over"
And if you've forgotten
How to imagine
You could come over
And be in the future with me
Mmm...

The lyrics of Rascal Miles's song 'Asylum' encapsulate the desire to escape the stresses of the world and to find solace in a peaceful, isolated space. The lyrics describe a yearning for a place that is only for oneself, away from the chaos of the outside world, and where the only concern is creating art. The singer dreams of a room that is peaceful, with only the sounds of nature outside, where they can focus on being an artist and not have to hide who they are.
In the second verse, there is a dream of being frozen in time for a hundred years, and when they wake up, there are no more walls or barriers, and everything is beyond the imagination. The desire to find others who are looking for a 'safe space' and a place to escape from the world is also evident in the lyrics, as the singer asks their friend to join them in their asylum.
The lyrics reveal a deep desire for personal space and creative freedom, where one can express themselves freely without fear of judgment. It tells a universal story of the human need for safety, freedom, and acceptance. The song teaches that everyone should have a place of their own, where they can focus on what they love and not have to face the outside world, especially when things get tough.

I wanna be in a room just for me
I want my own space where I can be alone
That's quiet, isolated, and spotlessly clean
A place that is peaceful, away from the chaos of the world, and tidy
With a couple of windows
I would like a space with natural light and fresh air
So I can feel the wind blow
It would be nice to feel a gentle breeze
And hear the white noise outside as I'm fallin' asleep
The sound of nature helps me to relax and sleep
And my alarm won't go off
I won't have to wake up early and stick to a schedule
Cause I'll never set it
I won't have any responsibilities or deadlines to meet
And I'll call in sick and I won't regret it
I won't feel guilty for taking a break from the world's demands
And if you promise
If you swear to keep confidential
Not to tell them my address
Do not disclose where I am staying to anyone
You could come over
If you can keep my location secret, I would love someone to visit
And play hooky with me
I'm looking for someone who can play truant, break the rules with me
And I'll show you the latest of my works in progress
I will share with you what I have been working on
The only person I'll have to be is an artist
I only want to be identified as an artist, and not worry about any other roles
And I won't bite my tongue
I will not censor myself
About who I am to anyone
I will not hide my true identity or be ashamed of it
I won't hold my breath around the general public
I will not be intimidated or feel obligated to conform around others
And the grocery store
The public and social spaces
And all of its masses
Crowded areas filled with people
Can't touch me in my headphones and sunglasses
I will shield myself from social interactions by listening to music and wearing sunglasses
And if you wanted
If it's your wish
To change your pronouns
If you identify differently than the one assigned at birth
You could come over
You are welcome to visit
And share a safe space with me
You have the opportunity to stay in a comfortable and secure environment
Sometimes I dream that my eyes froze shut
I have nightmares about being trapped and alone
For a hundred years or so until I got woken up
I feel like I have been isolated for a long time, and I'm hoping someone will rescue me from it
And when I walk outside
If and when I leave my isolation
No walls hide the sky
There are no obstacles or barriers to my freedom
I can see for miles and miles in any direction
I have the freedom to explore and go wherever I please
Take a breath of fresh air
Feeling unrestricted and not confined
And I feel no older
I am no longer held down by the weight of the world
And I look to you and say "it's finally over"
I can finally escape my demons and live a peaceful life
And if you've forgotten
If you've lost the ability
How to imagine
To think creatively or outside the box
You could come over
I can assist and give you inspiration
And be in the future with me
Together, we can create something new, exciting and innovative
