The Room Where She Died was written by Alissa and guitarist Oliver Palotai. Alissa shared clips from the song’s music video on Instagram, stating that The Room Where She Died expressed her feelings in a way that had lain dormant for several years:
"The Room Where She Died" is a song that feels truly satisfying to me; like I get to express myself in so many ways that have been dormant for years. This upcoming album is diverse, and I love the idea of opening up this new chapter with this song and video, which I wrote the script for.”
The song explores themes of entrapment, a lingering past and suffering with lyrics which read:
"I stand, lost in shadows of/ Years of lament etched into four walls/ Like a whisper, A feverish dream/ Where only echoes respond, I keep asking - how long?/ This caravan follows a hearse/ Leaving the Room where she died/ Dying begins at birth/ To suffer is the way of our kind."
