Revolving Door Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
She’s starting to let go of her emotional walls, feeling like she’s making progress in moving on. But deep down, she knows she struggles with change and might be lying to herself about feeling better. One simple call from this person can undo all her efforts, pulling her back into the cycle.

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s trying hard to cut this person out of her life, comparing it to breaking a bad habit. But just like a bad habit, it’s difficult to completely let go, no matter how much she tries.

[Chorus]
Even though she tells herself she’s done, she keeps going back, just like a revolving door—constantly opening and closing. She tries to convince herself that she doesn’t want them, but the reality is she wants them even more. No matter how much she fights it, she can’t break free.

[Post-Chorus]
She keeps wanting more of this person, no matter how toxic the cycle is. It’s like an addiction—she knows it’s bad for her, but she still craves it.

[Verse 2]
She tries to shut down the connection, but every time she does, this person comes back, and she gives in. The relationship is intense and messy, making her feel so overwhelmed that she even considers leaving town to escape it. She can’t believe how quickly she keeps falling back into the same situation.

[Pre-Chorus]
Once again, she tries to cut them off, treating it like a habit she needs to break. But despite her efforts, she can’t seem to stay away, constantly repeating the same pattern.

[Chorus]
She feels stuck in an endless cycle—she pushes them away, but then she wants them even more. No matter how much she tries to convince herself that she doesn’t care, her actions prove otherwise. The more she fights it, the deeper she falls.

[Post-Chorus]
She keeps craving this connection, unable to get enough of it. Even when she tries to move on, the desire always pulls her back in. The more she tells herself no, the more she wants them.

[Bridge]
Her emotions are all over the place, and she can’t figure out what she really wants. She’s overworked and distracted, but having this person around still brings her comfort, even if it hurts. She’s struggling with her emotions, thinking about past memories, and realizing she’s more affected than she lets on. Even though she’s supposed to be handling things like an adult, she just needs a break from it all.

[Refrain]
She’s overwhelmed and emotionally drained, needing a moment to breathe and process everything. She keeps telling herself she just needs a minute, but deep down, she knows it’s not that simple.

[Outro]
She’s emotionally exhausted and stuck in her feelings. Right now, she just needs space to figure things out.
