Space For Rent
Who Made Who Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your clothes are too
Just passed thirty
And you don't know what to do
Your flat is empty
And your heart is too
There's space for rent
You don't
Know what to do
You don't
Know what to do
Your thoughts are dirty
And your clothes are too
Just passed thirty
And you don't know what to do
Don't
Know what to do
Yeah you don't
know what to do
You don't
Know what to do
You don't
Know what to do
The song "Space for Rent" by Who Made Who is a melancholic narrative about a person who has just turned thirty and is struggling with their life. From the lyrics, the singer appears to be stuck in life, harboring dirty thoughts and wearing dirty clothes, suggestive of a person who is not taking care of themselves. Their flat is empty and so is their heart, indicating a feeling of loneliness and emotional emptiness. The phrase "there's space for rent, but not enough for two" repeats, suggesting perhaps that the singer is single and possibly longing for a relationship but feeling unsure about how to go about it.
The repetition of the lines "you don't know what to do" emphasizes the singer's struggle with feeling lost and directionless. The overall mood of the song is introspective, contemplative, and melancholic, conveying a sense of desolation and frustration.
