White Room Lyrics

In the white room with black curtains near the station
Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings
Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes
Dawnlight smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines
Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station
Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows
I walked into such a sad time at the station
As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back
Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party, she was kindness in the hard crowd
Consolation for the old wound now forgotten
Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes
She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd
Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

What is the Meaning of White Room?

A profound exploration of the human soul, this timeless classic delves into themes of isolation, longing, and the relentless pursuit of elusive contentment. The "White Room" symbolizes a state of emotional desolation, punctuated by vivid imagery like 'black curtains', 'tired starlings', and 'shadows running from themselves'. These metaphors hint at a deep-seated melancholy and existential dread. The protagonist is trapped in an endless wait for something undefined yet deeply desired - perhaps love or inner peace. The fleeting moments of happiness are ephemeral, disappearing like 'dawnlight smiles'. Ultimately, the song paints a poignant picture of life's transient nature and our constant struggle to find meaning amidst its chaos.
