Room 137 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Someone, someone is trying
To tell you something, will he listen?
([?])
Someone, someone is dying
To find out something, will he reason?
([?])
[Chorus]
Do you see it, there on the door?
Death is coming like nevermore
Obsession traps me, clouding my mind
What's the message, am I running out of time?
[Verse 2]
Someone, someone is trying
In search of something, death by numbers
(Getting closer)
Someone, someone is dying
To know the answer, the key to heaven
([?])
[Chorus]
Do you see it, there on the door?
Death is coming like nevermore
Obsession traps me, clouding my mind
What's the message, am I running out of time?
[Post-Chorus]
(Take me to the other side)
(Show me what I cannot find)
(Never ending number nine)
([?] by design)
[Chorus]
I can see it, here on the door
One-three-seven, forevermore
Between dimensions, not bound in line
One-three-seven, I am running out of time
[Post-Chorus]
(Take me to the other side)
(Show me what I cannot find)
(Never ending number nine)
(Take me to the other side)
(Show me what I cannot find)
(Never ending number nine)
(Take me to the other side)
(Show me what I cannot find)
(Never ending number nine)
(Take me to the other)
Since the early 1900s, physicists have postulated that the number [137] could lay at the heart of a grand unified theory, relating theories of electromagnetism, quantum mechanics & especially, gravity. Before Wolfgang Paul (a German physicist, who co-developed the non-magnetic quadrupole mass filter which laid the foundation of what's now called an ion trap) he was in hospital room # 137. Wolfgang thought it was a bad omen to be in this room number & he died shortly afterwards. So there could be some relationship between physics, crossing over & death tied up in this song, this bands lyrics are often layered in their meaning.
I think that it's related to the WWII 731 japanese army death squad, and the song is trying to talk about an upcoming death
death by numers = death stats ??
