Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
Cut the wires in this room
Lit with one light for two.
Down the hallway the windows are watching me too.
Floorboards creek then groan with the melody,
This house is haunting me as autumn falls from a dead tree.
All these bedrooms have an all too familiar stench
Of Broken morals and the total lack of audio.
Unfurnished and unpainted,
These walls are all but untainted.
We all are silenced by the sound
of everything crumbling down
and all of the pieces that we have found
Fuel the fire burning it down
We sleep in separate beds
away from our own heads
we jump from a burning house
And wonder who will save us now
Shut the lights off, turn the radio down
Our hearts beat, but slowly they too drown
In our minds our ears just keep ringing
In our throats there's a song we keep singing
We keep all our thoughts to ourselves
We put each book back up on the shelf
The dust will settle again
all in all, it was just pretend
We all are silenced by the sound
of everything crumbling down
and all of the pieces that we have found
Fuel the fire burning it down
(All) in all we'll
(Fall) like the ashes of our own mistakes but
(Oh) all that we
(Know) will be covered as it piles on the ground
Cut the wires in this room
Lit with one light for two
Down the hallway the windows are watching me too
Floorboards creek then groan with the melody
This house is haunting me as autumn falls from a dead tree
All these bedrooms have an all too familiar stench
Of Broken morals and the total lack of audio
Unfurnished and unpainted
These walls are all but untainted
Cut the wires in this room
Lit with one light for two
Down the hallway the windows are watching me too
Floorboards creek then groan with the melody
This house is haunting me as autumn falls from a dead tree
(Why even bother whispering?)
All these bedrooms have an all too familiar stench
Of Broken morals and the total lack of audio
(Why even bother whispering?)
Unfurnished and unpainted
These walls are all but untainted
Lit with one light for two.
Down the hallway the windows are watching me too.
Floorboards creek then groan with the melody,
This house is haunting me as autumn falls from a dead tree.
All these bedrooms have an all too familiar stench
Of Broken morals and the total lack of audio.
Unfurnished and unpainted,
These walls are all but untainted.
We all are silenced by the sound
of everything crumbling down
and all of the pieces that we have found
Fuel the fire burning it down
We sleep in separate beds
away from our own heads
we jump from a burning house
And wonder who will save us now
Shut the lights off, turn the radio down
Our hearts beat, but slowly they too drown
In our minds our ears just keep ringing
In our throats there's a song we keep singing
We keep all our thoughts to ourselves
We put each book back up on the shelf
The dust will settle again
all in all, it was just pretend
We all are silenced by the sound
of everything crumbling down
and all of the pieces that we have found
Fuel the fire burning it down
(All) in all we'll
(Fall) like the ashes of our own mistakes but

Unfurnished and unpainted
These walls are all but untainted
