Hotel Ceiling
Rixton Lyrics

I can see it coming round full circle my friend.
The singer realizes that the situation they are in with their friend has come full circle.

On the TV they said they had reported you dead.
The singer heard that their friend had died, but they later found out it was not true.

It was my fault 'cause I could've sworn that you said.
The singer takes responsibility for their friend's death because they misremembered a conversation they had.

It was easy to find another for your bed.
The artist's friend moved on quickly and found someone new to be with.

How does it feel to leave me this way,
The artist wonders how their friend feels about leaving them behind in such a difficult situation.

When all that you have's been lost in a day?
The singer reflects on how quickly their friend's life changed and everything they had was lost.

Everyone knows, but not what to say.
Others are aware of the situation, but they don't know how to respond or help.

I've been wonderin' now.
The artist is still trying to make sense of what happened and why.

I've been staring at the hotel ceiling,
The artist is feeling overwhelmed and is spending time alone in a hotel room.

Drinking everything I've found this evening,
The artist is turning to alcohol to numb their feelings and cope with the situation.

Trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
The singer is holding onto the memories of their friend and the good times they shared.

So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely.
The artist wants to hold onto their friend's memory and keep them close, so they don't feel alone.

Start to see this, everyone I know cannot believe this.
Others in the singer's life are struggling to come to terms with what happened and can't believe it.

I'm trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
The singer is making an effort to focus on the positive memories they have with their friend.

So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely now.
The singer is holding onto their friend's memory, so they don't feel lonely.

When my eyes open morning pulls me into the view, no
The artist wakes up each day and is immediately confronted with the reality of their friend's absence.

I guess I'm only acting in the way that you do.
The artist is trying to move on and cope with the situation, but they are struggling, just like their friend did.

Just being alone, no.
The singer feels isolated and alone in their grief.

Only time tells me more than I hope, all that I know is
The singer realizes that time will reveal more information and help them better understand what happened.

I'll be finding a fortnight alone and behold.
The artist will be spending the next two weeks alone and taking time to reflect.

I know I shouldn't have let you go.
The artist regrets not doing more to keep their friend in their life and prevent what happened.
