Room Service for the Soul

Binary Emotions · 4:26 · Electronic

This track is part of the catalogue. Its video will be added after publication on the label’s channel.

WITHIN THE ALBUM

Feelings that refuse the instructions.

Binary Emotions imagines an inner life described in the language of everyday technology and commerce. Weather Report for My Heart, Assembly Instructions, and Return Policy become labels for a world where we sometimes wish we knew how a feeling works.

Lise, the label’s virtual character, explores the gap between these instruction manuals and what escapes them. Muscle Memory, Midnight Math, and Constellation Prize suggest other ways of counting, remembering, and staying close. This chapter prepares the ground for the traces and absences of Phantom Signals.

Weather Report for My Heart opens the album. Continue in order to explore the fourteen objects of this imaginary diary.

Original lyrics

Text supplied in the project files. The original language is preserved.

Called down to the lobby of my loneliness
Asked if they had anything for emptiness
Concierge said "Sorry, we're all booked up
But we can send some temporary love"
Twenty minutes later there's a knock
At the door of my studio heart
Silver tray with artificial smiles
And conversations that fall apart

Five-star service for a one-star mood
But nothing on the menu tastes like you
Check-in was easy but I can't check out
Of this hotel of doubt

Room service for the soul
But they can't deliver what I need
Room service for the soul
Temporary love won't make me complete
I've been ordering happiness
From every place in town
Room service for the soul
But nothing fills me up, just lets me down

Mini bar is stocked with liquid courage
But the bottles all taste like regret
Pay-per-view of other people's romance
While I'm lying in this queen-size bed
Maid service came and cleaned the sheets
But they can't wash away the stains
Of all the nights I spent here waiting
For something to ease the pain

Continental breakfast, continental drift
Nothing here's a permanent gift
The bill keeps growing but I can't afford
To stay in this emotional ward

Room service for the soul
But they can't deliver what I need
Room service for the soul
Temporary love won't make me complete
I've been ordering happiness
From every place in town
Room service for the soul
But nothing fills me up, just lets me down

Maybe it's time to check out
Find a place that I can call my own
Stop expecting someone else to serve me
Everything I need to feel at home
I'm canceling my reservation
At this hotel of desperation
Time to cook my own happiness
Time to serve myself some self-compassion

No more room service for the soul
I've got everything I need right here
No more room service for the soul
I'm the chef and the kitchen's clear
I'll be cooking up my own joy
From the heart instead of downtown
No more room service for the soul
I'm the one who won't let me down
Yeah, I'm the one who won't let me down
