In My Room
The Dangerous Summer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Remember my old shoes
Some spaces were made to be outgrown
And if I fill up that table in my head
I think I'll find all of the countless ways
I could make up for lost time
Made to be a better thing picking up the parts
But I used to be a little bit hard to carry on
I had to be out of the way
But I still believe in everything
Even in my flaws
They're a problem I could take
But I tried to be a better thing
But it's taking me a lot
Recovering all my strength
In my room there's a storm that will calm when I'm through
Find my ways between lines that I drew
These are my thoughts in a long form
And I have the mindset to deconstruct you
Filled with the clouds in my eyes that I knew
I take the worst I can find and consume
This is the dark, but it feels warm
And I try my best to see right through you
I remember none of it
Taking to my thoughts
It's a solid I'll escape
Stable for a little bit only to belong
But belonging gets so fake
I'll slip into another place laying on the lawn
Though this time feeling gray
I tried to live a better way
Tell me where I'm from
Settled in my daze
In my room there's a storm that will calm when I'm through
Find my ways between lines that I drew
These are my thoughts in a long form
And I have the mindset to deconstruct you
Filled with the clouds in my eyes that I knew
I take the worst I can find and consume
This is the dark, but it feels warm
And I try my best to see right through you
In my room there's a storm that will calm when I'm through
Find my ways between lines that I drew
These are my thoughts in a long form
And I have the mindset to deconstruct you
Filled with the clouds in my eyes that I knew
I take the worst I can find and consume
This is the dark, but it feels warm
And I try my best to see right through you
In my room there's a storm that will calm when I'm through
Find my ways between lines that I drew
These are my thoughts in a long form
And I have the mindset to deconstruct you
Filled with the clouds in my eyes that I knew
I take the worst I can find and consume
This is the dark, but it feels warm
And I try my best to see right through you
The lyrics to The Dangerous Summer's song In My Room are a mix of introspective and contemplative thoughts about personal growth and self-discovery. The singer wants to delve into unknown territories and question everything they know about themselves. The first verse talks about the importance of letting go of things that no longer serve a purpose, and moving on from them. The singer acknowledges that they need to fill up their mental table with countless ways to compensate for lost time.
The second verse talks about personal growth and how it is a long and difficult journey. The singer wants to become a better person but acknowledges that it takes a lot of hard work and recovery. The mention of a storm in the first line means that the journey to self-improvement can be tumultuous, but it will eventually be calm when they reach the end.
The chorus repeats three times with only slight variations each time. It talks about the singer's thoughts and how they try to deconstruct them to better understand themselves. They acknowledge that they may take in the worst, but it still feels warm, and they try their best to see right through those thoughts and become the best version of themselves.
