Walls
Ruben Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know pain the way that you know it now
Just hear me out
Born as a boy I'm taught to not feel, so
I only found a way to suppress it all
My walls are tall
My walls are weakening
They're gonna fall soon
And I'm gonna need you
It's been night for days
And I don't feel the same
They're gonna fall soon
And I'm gonna need you
I haven't hit the ground 'til I do it
I'm not a mess unless you can see the scars
I've heard it all
But you need to understand, I don't do this
See, I'm a brick away and I had one call
I need you now
'Cause the wind has changed
My walls are weakening
They're gonna fall soon
And I'm gonna need you
It's been night for days
And I don't feel the same
They're gonna fall soon
And I'm gonna need you
I'll need you around, when the wind has quiet down, baby
I'll need you around, when the wind has quiet down
I'll need you around, when the wind has quiet down, baby
I'll need you around, when the wind has quiet down
But the wind has changed
My walls are weakening
They're gonna fall soon
And I'm gonna need you
It's been night for days
And I don't feel the same
They're gonna fall soon
And I'm gonna need you
The song "Walls" by Ruben is an emotional and introspective piece that explores the theme of emotional vulnerability and the struggle to break down emotional barriers. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges that he has always been a part of the "cool kids," who have never experienced pain in the way that he is experiencing it now. This suggests that he may have always felt a sense of detachment or emotional distance from others. He then reveals that he has been taught to suppress his emotions and build walls around himself, which he describes as being "tall." This line suggests that the singer has deliberately created barriers between himself and others to protect himself from emotional pain.
In the chorus, Ruben sings about how his walls are beginning to weaken and that they will soon fall. He conveys a sense of urgency and vulnerability as he sings about needing someone to be there for him when his emotional barriers come down. The line "It's been night for days, And I don't feel the same" suggests that the singer has been struggling with his emotions for a long time and is now starting to feel the impact of this.
The second verse reveals that the singer is not afraid to be vulnerable. He acknowledges that he has scars that he has been trying to hide and that he needs someone to understand and support him. The line "See, I'm a brick away and I had one call, I need you now" further emphasizes the urgency and vulnerability that the singer is feeling.
Overall, the song "Walls" is a powerful and emotive piece that explores themes of emotional vulnerability and the struggle to break down emotional barriers.
