Apartment 402
girl in red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
There's no doubt
I've been through hell
But on my way out
And all the ways I've been torn
Stripped my heart to the core
All of my fears combined
When the sunlight hits the dust
And I can't get up
When the noise is way too much
I close the void and burn it off
But there's a crack in every wall
Is there a way out after all?
If I lose my grip and fall will I?
There's a place
With no hate
Touched by grace
Quiet as faith
Emptied my heart
Laid down my cards
Played my best part
Wanting a new start
All of my fears combined
Taught me to run and hide
When the sunlight hits the dust
And I can't get up
When the noise is way too much
I close the void and burn it off
But there's a crack in every wall
Is there a way out after all?
If I lose my grip and fall will I?
There's a dissonance in all that I do
Yeah, nothing feels right or true
Black out on the floor just once more
The place I call my home
Yeah, I could die here and nobody would know
Die here and nobody would know
When the sunlight hits the dust
And I can't get up
When the noise is just too much
I close the void and burn it off
But there's a crack in every wall
Is there a way out after all?
If I lose my grip and fall
Will I die?
In "Apartment 402" by girl in red, the lyrics talk about the struggles someone goes through while living in a dark and uncomfortable place that they call home. The first verse talks about the pain and doubt that the artist has experienced but is now on their way out of. They describe how they have been torn apart and all of their fears have combined, making it harder for them to hold on. The sun hitting the dust may represent the artist's struggles and how they're trying to keep themselves moving forward. The line "there's a crack in every wall" could symbolize how even when there seems to be no escape, there's always a way out.
In the chorus, the artist sings about a place with no hate that is touched by grace and is as quiet as faith. This could represent a place where the artist feels safe and secure, unlike their current apartment. "Emptied my heart, laid down my cards, played my best part, wanting a new start" implies that the artist has gone through a lot of emotional turmoil, has let go of the burdens they've been carrying, and is ready for a fresh start. The fear of losing control and falling resonates throughout the song, culminating in the last line: "will I die?".

LYRICS 🖤💕
There's a pain
There's no doubt
I've been through hell
But on my way out
And all the ways I've been torn
Stripped my heart to the core
All of my fears combined
Walking the thinnest of lines
When the sunlight hits the dust
And I can't get up
When the noise is way too much
I close the void and burn it off
But there's a crack in every wall
Is there a way out after all?
If I lose my grip and fall
Will I?
There's a place
With no hate
Touched by grace
Quiet as faith
Emptied my heart, laid down my cards
Played my best part, wanting a new start
All of my fears combined
Taught me to run and hide
When the sunlight hits the dust
And I can't get up
When the noise is way too much
I close the void and burn it off
But there's a crack in every wall
Is there a way out after all?
If I lose my grip and fall
Will I?
There's a dissonance in all that I do
Yeah, nothing feels right or true
Black out on the floor just once more
The place I call my home
Yeah, I could die here and nobody would know
Die here and nobody would know
When the sunlight hits the dust
And I can't get up
When the noise is just too much
I close the void and burn it off
But there's a crack in every wall
Is there a way out after all?
If I lose my grip and fall
Will I die?
