Superheaven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A million miles from a house I can't call home
I wanna leave it behind
Stained carpets and all the things we hide
I'm gone for it all, in my mind
God bless the freak show we call "us".
An ordinary life seems bland, but ours is chrome
I never wanted anything more than a room
Some place to lay my head
A place where I'd have you
I wanna leave it behind
Stained carpets and all the things we hide
I'm gone for it all, in my mind
It's as bad as it seems
I'm losing sleep over the screams
I'm away for it all, God help me
I came down
I turned blue and choked
I came down again
I wanna leave it behind
Stained carpets and all the things we hide
I'm gone for it all, in my mind
The lyrics to Superheaven's song "Room" convey a sense of feeling trapped and wanting to escape. The opening line, "I'm in a place I told myself I wouldn't go," suggests a situation or place that the singer is not comfortable with, perhaps something they had previously promised themselves they wouldn't get involved with. This is followed by the line, "A million miles from a house I can't call home," indicating an absence of familiarity and comfort.
The lines that follow express the desire to leave "stained carpets and all the things we hide" behind, implying there may be negative or uncomfortable things in this place that the singer wishes to escape from. The sentiment of wanting to leave it all behind is echoed later in the song when the singer says, "I'm gone for it all, in my mind."
The second half of the song contains more intense imagery with lines like, "It's as bad as it seems. I'm losing sleep over the screams." The repetition of the lines, "I came down I turned blue and choked / I came down again" creates a sense of suffocation and desperation. The song closes with the singer reiterating their desire to get away from this place and all that comes with it.
Overall, "Room" explores the feeling of being trapped in a situation that is uncomfortable or even harmful, and the desire to escape and start anew.
