Room Of Anger
Useless ID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But he clears himself of blame
Locked the door behind
In a room of anger
Without windows he cannot look outside
Can not see the lights
He's living in the dark
Drowning in his empty thoughts
It's hard to understand
His positive intentions
What keeps him waiting
In his lonely room?
A world without remorse?
Well, I guess not!
'Cause if there's something wrong outside
I guess he'll never know about it
He's locked inside
Yeah, if there's something wrong outside
Then I guess he won't ever hear about it
He's locked inside
He's got reason of his own
Why he slammed the door behind
Couldn't read their thoughts
Couldn't face their minds
Wanted all to change
But who is blind
Himself inside the room
Yeah, it's all dark inside
'Cause if there's something wrong outside
I guess he'll never know about it
He's locked inside
Yeah, if there's something wrong outside
Then I guess he won't ever hear about it
He's locked inside
The song "Room of Anger" by Useless ID is a powerful exploration of the consequences of isolation and self-imposed limitations. The lyrics describe a person who has locked themselves away in a room, shutting out the world outside in an attempt to escape their own problems. While their intentions may be positive, they are ultimately unable to deal with the challenges they face and end up succumbing to their own empty thoughts.
The first verse sets the scene, describing the room as being without windows and leaving the person unable to see the world outside. This sense of confinement is echoed in the repetition of the phrase "locked inside," emphasizing their self-imposed isolation. The second verse then explores the reasons why the person is in this situation, suggesting that they had good intentions but were unable to face the challenges of the world outside.
The chorus then highlights the consequences of this isolation, with the repetition of the line "if there's something wrong outside, I guess he'll never know about it." The person has cut themselves off from the world and is unable to see or hear what is happening around them, ultimately leaving them stuck in their own dark, isolated world.
