Banging On The Door Lyrics

You know that it hurts
These things that you say
But I'll be alright
Don't lose your faith
Just swallow your pride tonight
God only knows this place is strange
Banging on the door again
Banging on the door that's locked forever
Losing on a lover's game
Winning on the one side and losing forever

The air that we breather hangs heavy tonight
Still I look for your face
I'm home all alone again
Some dreams grow old and then they just die

I'm banging on the door again
Still banging on the door that's locked forever
Losing on a lover's game
Winning on the one track and hurting forever

Oh your love is a symphony
All this love over all of me
Oh your love is a symphony
Oh sweet love I can feel it

Still banging on the door again
I'm banging on the door that's sealed forever
Losing on a lover's game
Winning on the one track hurting forever

Cover art for Banging On The Door lyrics by Simple Minds

I think the song is about someone who has been in love with someone but the got rid of him. However he still wants her love so the door that is sealed is a metaphor for what's blocking him from getting her love and he's trying to get it back but knows he can't succeed.

My Interpretation

Yes it is about a broken relationship All the album was written after Jim separated with Chrissie Beautiful song about what happened like « see the lights » The feelings in both song are so true when that happens Amazing writing from Jim and guitar from Charles
