In My Room
Resurrection Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I heard crying in the broken night,
Felt tears, tasted just like mine,
Seems like all we ever do is fight,
They call it family, but I think they're lying.

In my room with the curtains drawn,
In my room with my music on,
In my room, 'til this night bleeds into day.

I slam the door, I shut them out,
They don't even know what I'm about,
Sometimes I talk to my bedroom walls,
Sometimes I don't fell like talking at all.

In my room I can hide away,
In my room I can have my say,
In my room, where I'm waiting on the day.

Lord, bring the day.

In my room with the curtains drawn,
In my room with my music on,
In my room, 'til this night bleeds into day.





Lord, bring the day,
Oh.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Resurrection Band's song "In My Room" paint a picture of a person who is struggling within their family. The first few lines reveal that the singer hears crying in the night and that the tears taste like their own. This implies that they are not alone in their struggles and that their family is also experiencing emotional pain. However, the singer feels like all they ever do is fight and questions the authenticity of calling this group of people a family.


The chorus reveals the singer's safe haven, their room. In this space, they can draw the curtains, put on their music, and shut out the surrounding world. The repetition of "In my room" emphasizes the importance of this space for the singer. They can hide away and be themselves without fear of judgment or conflict. The final lines express a longing for a brighter tomorrow, with the plea for the Lord to bring the day.


The song touches on themes of family conflict, individuality, and the need for a safe space. It conveys the importance of having a space to oneself where one can be honest and true to oneself. The repeated line "In my room" creates a sense of isolation yet also a sense of security. The singer may feel alone, but they are also in control of their surroundings.


Line by Line Meaning

I heard crying in the broken night,
I listened to someone crying in the distressed night,


Felt tears, tasted just like mine,
The tears I felt were similar to the ones I tasted,


Seems like all we ever do is fight,
Our constant arguments seem to be the only thing we do,


They call it family, but I think they're lying.
Although they label it as family, I believe they're not truthful.


In my room with the curtains drawn,
I isolate myself in my enclosed space,


In my room with my music on,
I play my music and avoid any disturbance,


In my room, 'til this night bleeds into day.
I stay in my room until the night ends and the day begins.


I slam the door, I shut them out,
I shut them out by firmly closing the door,


They don't even know what I'm about,
They're unaware of the person I truly am,


Sometimes I talk to my bedroom walls,
Occasionally, I speak to my walls instead of actual people,


Sometimes I don't fell like talking at all.
On certain occasions, I don't feel like speaking at all.


In my room I can hide away,
I conceal myself from others inside my room,


In my room I can have my say,
I express my thoughts and opinions inside my room,


In my room, where I'm waiting on the day.
Inside my room, I await for a better day.


Lord, bring the day.
I pray for a better day to come.


In my room with the curtains drawn,
I stay inside my enclosed space,


In my room with my music on,
I listen to my music to avoid disturbance,


In my room, 'til this night bleeds into day.
I remain isolated until the night fades and the day begins.


Lord, bring the day,
I pray for a brighter day in the future.


Oh.
