Cavetown - Nostalgia In My Bedroom Lyrics






Every night you sacrifice your soul
Just to keep the ones you love most close
Nothing ever comes back from it
Don't you wonder why nobody else can see it
Everybody says breathe, but the deeper I breathe
The more bugs fly down my throat
Probably got a little nest down in my stomach
And they're turning into butterflies

Everybody scares me but you
Nobody scares me but you
You're pretty scary or maybe I'm just a pansy
That's pretty likely but I really really miss
Yeah I really really miss you

My friend gave me a piece of honeycomb steel
And I kept it in my bedroom for three whole years
But my mum cleaned my room and she threw it away
Little things that remind me of better days
They make me smile for a while then it goes away
Nostalgia in my Bedroom

Everybody scares me but you
Nobody scares me but you
You're pretty scary or maybe I'm just a pansy
That's pretty likely but I really really miss
Yeah I really really miss you

Yeah I really really miss
Yeah I really really miss you

  1. B.... D....

    I have a question,






    How do my parents not know one thing about me and you be over here like, "hEy bRo i gOtTcHu"

  2. a.... r....

    why doesn't this have 8billion likes? there's no justice

  3. 2.... S....

    I feel sad at this particular moment in my life.



    And that’s okay.

    I love this song

  7. C.... B....

    This song is so underrated. This song is truly beautiful just like all his other songs, but this one is my favorite

  8. A.... -....

    Whaddya mean, I'm not crying. I don't cry.

  9. N.... N....

    THIS DESERVES MORE ATTENTION ❤❤❤

  10. S.... S....

    I thought this was about animal crossing...

  11. K.... C....

    Ahh help I’m downloading every song from every album I know and it’s now 2 am and I can’t stop, tho this album is totally worth downloading 👌

    K.... C....

    Mockingjay125 it sure is and its also very underrated in my view, which is so sad

  12. K.... B....

    like i love this song but pansy makes me a little uncomfortable, it's an offensive term for gay men, it's also pretty sexist. i know that Robbie/Robin Skinner (cavetown) is a huge lgbtq+ supporter and probably didn't know or something but other people may hear pansy and not appriciate, im a big fan but im also cautious and can understand why people may have wanted to dislike the video

    K.... B....

    its a song mate
    pansy's only used as an insult towards 'cowardly' people, not gays lol

    K.... B....

    Dude, come on. Did you really get offended at that? The irony lol

    K.... B....

    heyyyy pansy isn't an offensive term to gay men, it's just a term for coward

  13. T.... K....

    I think of my mom when I hear this song bc she low-key was a hoarder (of memory filled items but also garbage). It was a huge contribution for when I left her. She never provided a safe and healthy environment when I was younger

  14. S.... A....

    Hits deep.

  15. m.... T....

    This reminds me of my crush

    Everybody says breath,
    But the deeper I breath
    The more bugs fly down my throat
    Probably got a little nest
    Down in my stomach
    And they're turning into butterflies

    BECAUSE BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH = ANXIETY

    @Kellin Bloom this looks like a tumbler post, don't be so sensitive

    n.... ....

    @Aubriana Zamora my bad, i was trying to explain why some people may have not felt comfortable enough to like it, just showing the other side because at first i wondered as well.
    you may want to change your tumblr feed because that's kinda on you, it's based on your interests and if you don't like people calmly expressing their opinions when they differ from yours then you may want to just follow some blogs that focus on whatever you agree with/ enjoy. (sorry you had a bad tumblr experience) sorry if i came off as hostile. i might be sensitive but i can't say that i expect anything from you, nor do i ask for anything, im just trying to make people more aware of things and pointing out when people can get hurt by something, other people doing that to me has made me a better person. i don't think i harmed you or anyone else, you don't have to do anything or even listen. i am really sorry for my reply being so long though

    n.... ....

    @Kellin Bloom it's okay I understand that, my aunt is British and pansy isn't as bad also he's expressing what other people call him I think.

    n.... ....

    @Kellin Bloom also might help to know robbos has a boyfriend. His name is avery and oh my they are soooo cute together.

  27. D.... V....

    U N D E R R A T E D

  28. C.... W....

    That’s funny
    People accidentally pressed the dislike button
    How silly of them🌈🌻❤️

    C.... W....

    @Kellin Bloom idk how the word "pansy" is connect to lgbtq+ people, and how is that sexist..?

    C.... W....

    @Aubriana Zamora i guess i see it as vaguely sexist because it's sorta similar to things like 'you fight like a girl', yeah the person saying it is usually hurting a boy but being the mean name to call other people can be harmful. then again, i could always have been acting too fast, idk. (it relates to women through the definition of a term calling a male a weak and feminine boy)

    C.... W....

    @Kellin Bloom Pansy also means someone whoe is easily scared,he definitely didn't mean it to offend anybody. I don't think at least.

    People rlly be out here disliking this smh

    s.... i....

    Sophie cook I definitely get that response and in a different context I’d probably react similarly even without the knowledge of the LGBTQ+ connotations, but I find it’s use in this song to be more calling out that sort of thing. Like Robin might have been called a pansy and is using it sarcastically or in some tongue-in-cheek way. Think how Billie Eilish amongst others uses w**** in songs like “idontwannabeyouanymore”. I don’t know of course, but I see this as possible given Robin’s support of the LGBTQ+ Community.

    s.... i....

    @Reeeb, that's a cool way of explaining it, i still love the song and even use the album as a comfort object when i hit my low points. it's still just as amazing and i still love it, now with a better, clearer explanation. thank you

    s.... i....

    @Kellin Bloom Fairly certain that it also just means being a coward.

    s.... i....

    Pansy is also a flower

  35. A.... ....

    This whole fucking album is so *underrated*

    Lyrics:

    Every night you sacrifice your soul
    Just to keep the ones you most love close
    Nothin' ever comes back from it
    Don't you wonder why nobody else can see it
    Everybody says breathe, but the deeper I breathe the more bugs fly down my throat
    Probably gotta little nest down in my stomach, and they're turning into butterflies

    Everybody scares me but you ou ou ou
    Nobody scares me but you ou ou ou
    You're pretty scary, or maybe I'm just a pansy
    That's pretty likely, but I really really miss, yeah, I really really miss you

    My friend gave me a piece of honey comb steal (?), and I kept in my bedroom for 3 whole years
    But my mom cleaned my room and threw it away
    Little things that remind me of better days
    They make me smile for a while, then it goes away

    Nostalgia in My Bedroom

    Everybody scares me but you ou ou ou
    Nobody scares me but you ou ou ou
    You're pretty scary, or maybe I'm just a pansy
    That's pretty likely, but I really really miss, yeah, I really really miss you

    Yeah I really really miss, yeah I really really miss you.
