Smith & Thell - Hotel Walls (Lyric Video)

Out now!

►Credits:

► Lyrics
I signed the papers
For a lifelong lease
I rent the earth where I stand
And the air I breathe
Then you forget that deal you made with God
While busy finding yourself being young, being dumb and in love
It's all too easy
And you're easily bored
Never once has it crossed your mind that life's too short

And there's a third person walking behind us
A tap on the back and it's there to remind us
Life is a blink of an eye 'til you are no more.

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall
As we break everything inside these hotel walls
Life's for rent and it called us out
So, I hand back the key as the door man bows

They greet you welcome
With roses and champagne
And when you walk through the lobby
They all know your name
But all beautiful things
Come with edges and thorns
And the body you borrowed is starting to look kind of worn

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall
As we break everything inside these hotel walls
Life's for rent and it called us out
So, I hand back the key as the door man bows

We're just grains in the universe
I let that comfort me when I'm anxious
This life is beautifully ugly at times

We're just grains in the universe
I let that comfort me when I'm anxious
This life is beautifully ugly at times

It's beautifully ugly at times
It's beautifully ugly at times
It's beautifully ugly at times
It's beautifully ugly at times

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall
As we break everything inside these hotel walls
Life's for rent and it called us out
So, I hand back the key as the door man bows

So, I stand back, and I watch us fall
As we break everything inside these hotel walls
Life's for rent and it called us out
So, I hand back the key as the door man bows

This really humbles me if i think about my life 😢.Dear God keep me humble always

[Davidnzala]

This song reminds us brevity of life and our insignificance in the grand scheme of the universe. The song looks at the idea of signing away a "lifelong lease" to own a place on earth and renting the air we breathe, signifying that life is only a temporary thing, and we can easily forget or ignore the deal we made with God. The song then references the fact that life can easily pass by if we're not paying attention and how beautiful moments can often come with thorns. The chorus emphasizes that life is only for rent, and we must hand back the key when the time comes. The bridge then further drives this sentiment home, reminding us that ultimately we're only but grains in the universe, and life is both beautifully and painfully ugly.

Never ever forget the deal you made with God. Coz this life we live isn't permanent. We have borrowed everything we have from God. Praise and glory to our Lord Jesus christ.
