Despite the title, “Paint My Bedroom Black” is a brave and vibrant opening track that unwraps Humberstone’s duality seen throughout the album. The contrast between being overstimulated on tour and the dead silence when closing the hotel room’s door inspired Holly to write the song that sums up her d...
[Intro]
Turn my voice up!
[Verse 1]
Here's to new horizons
Well, you kicked his lazy ass out of your life
And, suddenly, you don't hate yourself
And now you're flying
Somehow, you don’t hate yourself
And now you're flying
[Verse 2]
And is it everything you wanted?
Do you feel so weightless
When you're hanging up his call? (Hang it up)
You gotta bottle up that feeling
You gotta bottle up that feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, with the windows down
I am reborn in the ever-fading light
No, I don't feel that sinking feeling no more
(I—) I think it's gonna be alright
[Chorus]
I— I— I—
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
I'm gonna turn my music up
I'm gonna drown you out tonight
I'm gonna drown you out tonight
I'm gonna board my windows shut
I'm gonna tear my posters up
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
I'm gonna drown you out tonight
I'm gonna drown you out
[Verse 3]
And now I'm pulling out your driveway
Finally, I'm living, not surviving
And it's funny you said I'd never have the guts
Well, suck it up
I'm gonna bottle up this feeling
[Pre-Chorus]
Now, with the windows down, I am reborn
In the ever-fading light
You know you once were someone I adored
(Well) Never mind
[Chorus]
I— I— I—
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
I'm gonna turn my music up
I'm gonna drown you out tonight
(Gonna drown you out tonight)
I'm gonna drown you out tonight (I— I— I—)
I'm gonna board my windows shut
I'm gonna tear my posters up
I'm gonna paint my bedroom black
I'm gonna drown you out tonight
I'm gonna drown you out (Drown you out)
[Outro]
La-da-da-da-da-da-da

La-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da

Paint My Bedroom Black was written by Holly Humberstone & Rob Milton.
Paint My Bedroom Black was produced by Rob Milton.
Holly Humberstone released Paint My Bedroom Black on Wed Oct 11 2023.
This was such a release to write. I had a couple of days off and my producer Rob [Milton] flew over to join me in New York. We got a little studio and it was the biggest relief after such a long time. To me this feels like a really intimate track—like I’m wanting to shut everything out. I didn’t wri...
