Hotel Ceiling Lyrics

I can see it coming round full circle my friend.
On the TV they said they had reported you dead.
It was my fault 'cause I could've sworn that you said.
It was easy to find another for your bed.

How does it feel to leave me this way,
When all that you have's been lost in a day?
Everyone knows, but not what to say.
I've been wonderin' now.

I've been staring at the hotel ceiling,
Drinking everything I've found this evening,
Trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely.
Start to see this, everyone I know cannot believe this.
I'm trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely now.

When my eyes open morning pulls me into the view, no
I guess I'm only acting in the way that you do.
Just being alone, no.
Only time tells me more than I hope, all that I know is
I'll be finding a fortnight alone and behold.
I know I shouldn't have let you go.

I've been staring at the hotel ceiling,
Drinking everything I've found this evening,
Trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely.
Start to see this, everyone I know cannot believe this.
I'm trying to hold on to the sweetest feeling,
So I'll never let you go, don't you leave me lonely now.

I can see it coming round full circle, my friend.
On the TV they said they had reported you dead.

What is the Meaning of Hotel Ceiling?

In an exploration of loss and longing, the song delves into the emotional turmoil of a protagonist grappling with the reported death of a loved one. The recurring motif of the 'hotel ceiling' symbolizes a state of isolation and introspection, as the narrator drowns his sorrow in alcohol, seeking solace in memories. The phrase 'coming round full circle' suggests a sense of inevitability and acceptance of grief while challenging the harsh reality presented by media. The lyrics also hint at regret over failed relationships, implying that separation might have been avoided. Overall, it is a poignant portrayal of how individuals cope with loss, yearning for what once was and struggling to accept what is.
