Room
Youths Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately i've been living in potential
More we can and less we are
So first you learn to trick your mind
Then you don't mind however far
How far you are from seeing this dream
Turning blind eyes to the view
But when the light it breaks the blinds
All my thoughts they run to you

In your room
Tracing our survival to a tune
Too young for what's to come
Singing
We'll go dancing on the moon
In your room

Lately i've been stuck in between stations
The reminder's coming through
Every step to what i want
Takes me one step off from you
And i'll admit it's kind of crazy
How no one screams enough to move
But when the world it comes for me
I'd just rather hide with you

In your room
Tracing our survival to a tune
Too young for what's to come
Singing
We'll go dancing on the moon
In your room

I'll say it for the last time
But the sun don't multiply
Think i'm not listening
But i'm listening
So let's savor the good times
And let's shake off the bad times
They said son it's time to choose
It's something missing
Or someone missing

In your room
Tracing our survival to a tune
Too young for what's to come
Singing
We'll go dancing on the moon
In your room
Dancing in the dark
In your room
Tracing our survival to a tune
Too young for what's to come
Singing




We'll go dancing on the moon
In your room

Overall Meaning

"Youth's" song "Room" is a song about the perils of growing up and realizing that life is not what you expected it to be. It's about feeling lost and uncertain of the future, but finding comfort in being present with someone else. The song begins by expressing the feeling of not quite living up to your potential and losing sight of who you are in the process. The idea of tricking your mind and accepting whatever comes your way becomes an essential aspect of the song. You become blinded to the world around you, and sometimes, it takes something drastic like the light breaking through the blinds to snap you back to reality. And when that happens, thoughts automatically turn to that person who you feel a connection with.


The chorus, "In your room, tracing our survival to a tune, too young for what's to come, singing we'll go dancing on the moon," talks about escaping reality and being in that safe space, that room where you feel comfortable, where you can be your true self. The room becomes a metaphor for a place where you can be with someone else in complete honesty and openness, and the survival tune refers to the music that bonds people in such a space.


The second verse expresses the feeling of being stuck in-between, and the reminder that life is not always fair. It's about taking one step at a time, knowing that every step you take towards something you want, you are also taking one step further away from someone who you feel connected to. The feeling of wanting to hide and seek solace with someone who understands becomes the ultimate comfort. In the end, the song gives the message to choose wisely between someone missing and something missing because that one decision affects everything else.


Overall, Youth's song "Room" teaches the listeners that life might not turn out how they expected it to, but it's essential to have a safe space with someone who understands you to escape from the challenges of life.


Line by Line Meaning

Lately i've been living in potential
I've been daydreaming and imagining all the possibilities for myself


More we can and less we are
We focus on what we can do rather than who we actually are


So first you learn to trick your mind
We learn to manipulate ourselves into believing what we want to be true


Then you don't mind however far
Once we deceive ourselves, we become unconcerned with how far we are from our desired reality


How far you are from seeing this dream
We become oblivious to the obstacles that stand between us and our aspirations


Turning blind eyes to the view
We ignore the reality of our situation and focus only on our imagination


But when the light it breaks the blinds
When reality finally sets in


All my thoughts they run to you
I think of my loved one when I am confronted with hard truths


In your room
The space where we feel most safe and secure


Tracing our survival to a tune
Our relationship has helped us survive and we feel a sense of hope for our future together


Too young for what's to come
We are naive and inexperienced regarding what the future may hold


Singing
Expressing ourselves freely and without inhibitions


We'll go dancing on the moon
In our imaginations, we can achieve anything, even impossible things like dancing on the moon


Lately i've been stuck in between stations
I feel stuck in my journey of self-discovery


The reminder's coming through
Every once in a while, a reminder of reality shocks me


Every step to what i want
I'm constantly trying to improve myself towards my goals


Takes me one step off from you
I am aware that my pursuits may lead me further away from my loved one


And i'll admit it's kind of crazy
I know it's foolish and irrational to put my dreams before my relationships


How no one screams enough to move
No one forces me to choose between my dreams and my loved ones


But when the world it comes for me
When reality hits me hard


I'd just rather hide with you
I want to escape and seek comfort with my loved one


I'll say it for the last time
I will express my feelings one final time


But the sun don't multiply
My issues and problems are not solved by ignoring them


Think i'm not listening
I may seem unaware, but I'm actually paying attention


So let's savor the good times
Let's enjoy the happy moments we have together


And let's shake off the bad times
Let's move past the difficult moments together


They said son it's time to choose
Others are telling me to prioritize my goals or my relationships


It's something missing
Something important is lacking in my life


Or someone missing
The person I love is what I truly need in my life


Dancing in the dark
We choose to continue our relationship even when things are difficult
