Haunted
The New York Room Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
in times of sorrow
waiting for tomorrow
tomorrow never comes
the day is broken
broken by the night
and the night is forever
haunts me like a promise broken
like a secret still unspoken
sorrow like a lover near me
whispers that he will never leave me
like the wind
The New York Room's song "Haunted" evokes a sense of hopelessness and darkness. The lyrics suggest a sense of longing and waiting for something that may never come. The first stanza implies that the singer is lost in a state of darkness and sorrow, waiting for a new day to arrive. However, no matter how long they wait, tomorrow never seems to come. The day is broken by the weight of the night, which seems to last forever. The second stanza delves deeper into the singer's emotions, describing the way sorrow haunts them like a broken promise or an unspoken secret. Even though there are people nearby, and the wind whispers in their ear, the sadness persists and lingers, like a lover who will never leave.

lost in lands of shadow
Feeling lost and helpless in dark and gloomy places
in times of sorrow
During periods of sadness and pain
I am waiting
Expecting something to happen or someone to arrive
waiting for tomorrow
Anticipating a better future and brighter possibilities
tomorrow never comes
Disappointment and hopelessness when promises fall through and progress is elusive
the day is broken
Disarray and confusion during daylight hours
broken by the night
Further chaos and disorder brought on by evening and darkness
and the night is forever
The endlessness of despair and misery, with no relief in sight
haunts me like a promise broken
Constantly troubled by abandoned assurances and failed commitments
like a secret still unspoken
Pressure and torment from undisclosed, hidden information
sorrow like a lover near me
Pain and anguish that stay close, like an unwanted companion
whispers that he will never leave me
The assurance of continuous suffering and misery
like the wind
Constantly present and untouchable, an ever-present force that can be felt but never fully controlled
