Space
Scott Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to remind me of how it was before
I don't want you lying here in my bed
I don't want to think about where you've been
I'm trying so hard to turn this page
All I need is space
Getting to know yourself better
Feeling passed up and misplaced
And stepping out in the rain
But most of all - space
So I cut my lines and I shed my sheets
I hung them outside for all to see
That this is a place where unrest lives
But hope is heavy something's got to give
I'm trying so hard to turn this page
All I need is space
Getting to know yourself better
Takes miserable weather
Feeling passed up and misplaced
And stepping out in the rain
But most of all - space
Must be a crime to love like this
From the center of my soul
To my fingertips
Tell me did you find your way
'Cos after all my searching - all I found was space
In Scott Thomas's song "Space," the lyrics express a desire for distance and separation from someone who has caused pain and heartbreak in the past. The singer asserts that they no longer want this person to be around, as their presence only serves as a reminder of what they had before. They also express a reluctance to have this person in their bed, suggesting a need to detach from all the memories and emotions associated with them. The line "I don't want to think about where you've been" implies a lack of trust and an unwillingness to dwell on the past actions of their former partner.
The singer is determined to move on and turn the page, emphasizing their need for space. They understand that self-discovery and personal growth often occur during challenging times, symbolized by the mention of "miserable weather" and stepping out into the rain. This suggests that they are willing to endure some discomfort in order to find themselves again. The repetition of "space" throughout the song reinforces the importance of solitude and distance in order to heal and find peace.
The final lines suggest a sense of disappointment and acceptance. The singer acknowledges that their search for love has led to nothing but empty space. Despite their efforts to find meaning and connection, they have been left with a void. This may imply a realization that their search for love has been in vain or that they have yet to find someone who truly understands and reciprocates their feelings.

I don't want you to come around here no more
I desire for you to stop visiting this place
Just to remind me of how it was before
Merely to make me recall the past experiences
I don't want you lying here in my bed
I don't desire for you to stay deceitfully in my sleeping place
I don't want to think about where you've been
I don't wish to contemplate the locations you have visited
I'm trying so hard to turn this page
I am exerting significant effort to move on from this situation
All I need is space
I solely require some distance and personal freedom
Getting to know yourself better
Discovering one's true nature more deeply
Takes miserable weather
Requires enduring challenging and unfavorable conditions
Feeling passed up and misplaced
Experiencing a sense of being overlooked and not belonging
And stepping out in the rain
And exposing oneself to discomfort and vulnerability
But most of all - space
Above all else, distance and independence
So I cut my lines and I shed my sheets
Thus, I detached myself from connections and discarded my coverings
I hung them outside for all to see
I exposed them openly for everyone's observation
That this is a place where unrest lives
To convey that this is a location characterized by unease
But hope is heavy something's got to give
However, optimism weighs heavily, and change must occur
Must be a crime to love like this
It appears to be an offense to experience love in this manner
From the center of my soul
Originating from the core of my being
To my fingertips
Extending to the tips of my fingers
Tell me did you find your way
Inform me if you managed to discover your path
'Cos after all my searching - all I found was space
Because despite all my efforts to explore, all I encountered was emptiness
