bedroom walls

Lexi Jayde's 'bedroom walls' is a poignant exploration of the emptiness that often accompanies social interactions and the solace found in solitude. The song opens with vivid imagery of a party scene filled with 'liquor and lies,' where the protagonist feels disconnected despite being surrounded by people. The 'girls in the corner' putting on a show and the 'shit talkin’ in smoke' paint a picture of superficiality and insincerity. This setting serves as a backdrop for the artist's deeper reflection on the hollowness of these social experiences.

The chorus reveals a stark contrast between the fleeting nature of these 'fast friends' and the enduring comfort of her bedroom walls. Lexi Jayde sings about making friends in the back of a car, only to find them 'long gone' when she needs them the most. This highlights the transient and unreliable nature of such relationships. In contrast, her bedroom walls symbolize a safe haven, a place where she can be herself without the pretense required in social settings. The repetition of 'my bedroom walls' underscores the importance of this personal space as a refuge from the chaos outside.

The second verse delves deeper into the theme of finding contentment in solitude. Laying on her bed, 'happy and bored,' and hanging with the posters on her door, the artist finds a sense of peace that eludes her in social gatherings. The spilled jeans on the floor and the sentiment that 'it sucks that I ever cared before' suggest a rejection of societal expectations and a return to self-acceptance. Through 'bedroom walls,' Lexi Jayde captures the universal struggle of seeking genuine connections in a world full of facades and the ultimate realization that sometimes, the best company is one's own.
