Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Living in a box-Room in your heart
Oh woh woh, no matter how below (how)
Oh, oh woh
It's dark and cold tonight, I'm walking all alone
And one step at a time I'm getting closer
I know she's hard to find, instinctively I try
To take the path of love into the night
There would be no reason if you really didn't care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don't know why but it's so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh oh-oh yeah
No answers question me, no one's been here before
I am the first to see the light at your door
If I could hold you now I wouldn't disagree
With these four walls you're protecting me, oh-oh-ooh
There would be no reason if you really didn't care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don't know why but it's so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh yeah
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel the love that's surrounding me coming out of you
I can feel it (coming out, coming out, coming out) yeah
The door is open wide (is anybody there)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
(I really don't know why but it's so easy to breathe) mmm, breathe
Oh oh-oh-oh (I know this must be the room in your heart)
I know this must be, I know this must be
I know, ooh ooh, is anybody there
Oh oh (the door is open wide, is anybody there) oh oh
(I know this must be the room in your heart) ah ah
(I really don't know why) I really don't know why
(But it's so easy to breathe)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
Oh woh woh, no matter how below (how)
Oh, oh woh
It's dark and cold tonight, I'm walking all alone
And one step at a time I'm getting closer
I know she's hard to find, instinctively I try
To take the path of love into the night
There would be no reason if you really didn't care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don't know why but it's so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh oh-oh yeah
No answers question me, no one's been here before
I am the first to see the light at your door
If I could hold you now I wouldn't disagree
With these four walls you're protecting me, oh-oh-ooh
There would be no reason if you really didn't care
There would be no reason for love
The door is open wide, is anybody there
I know this must be the room in your heart
I really don't know why but it's so easy to breathe
I know this must be the room in the heart, oh yeah
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel the love that's surrounding me coming out of you
I can feel it (coming out, coming out, coming out) yeah
The door is open wide (is anybody there)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)
(I really don't know why but it's so easy to breathe) mmm, breathe
Oh oh-oh-oh (I know this must be the room in your heart)
I know this must be, I know this must be
I know, ooh ooh, is anybody there
Oh oh (the door is open wide, is anybody there) oh oh
(I know this must be the room in your heart) ah ah
(I really don't know why) I really don't know why
(But it's so easy to breathe)
(I know this must be the room in your heart)

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
Blue
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it.
“I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
wow - first comment! I just heard this played on the radio and I'd forgotten all about it! Took me right back to my childhood when I was about 10. Obviously this is about someone who is feeling the love and protection of their partner. Beautiful song! I'm now going to download it....
