A Room, A Canvas (4:14)

Cover of In Her Gentle Jaws

From In Her Gentle Jaws

The sixth song at the center of In Her Gentle Jaws, A Room, A Canvas tells the story of a doomed relationship that eventually comes crumbling apart as told through painting metaphors.

Notably, all the references to hues and colors mentioned in the lyrics (along with the sole instance in Digital Solace and the two instances in Nautilus) are all printed in reverse on the back side of the CD liner notes directly opposing their forward-reading counterparts on the page’s front, continuing the album’s central theme of color.

    This really is the definitive statement on In Her Gentle Jaws. Simultaneously loud and quiet, sad and happy, and a combination of a hundred different colors of light. It's a microcosm of the entire album presented entirely in 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

    there's a bit of New Order's 'Regret' in there.

    love, it grew from a simple crush the colors saturate the brush blue for honor, gold for truth the artist's final touch <3

    i love everything about this song - the music, the lyrics, it ties in so well with all the colourfulness if that makes sense whatsoever :P
