| Japandroids – The House That Heaven Built Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
To me, he's ruined his relationship with this girl that he still loves. The song is him coming to terms with this and wishing her luck for the future. "When they love you, and they will Tell 'em all they'll love in my shadow And if they try to slow you down Tell 'em all to go to hell" He wants her to know that no man that comes after will love her quite as much, and their relationship will have lasting effects on both of them. Ultimately he wants her to be happy, and hopes no-one else will slow her down quite as much as he did. "It's a lifeless life With no fixed address to give But you're not mine to die for anymore So I must live" He feels he is lost with nothing to live for since the relationship ended, but ends on a positive note. He now has to find someone else to die for. "Born of a bottle From heaven's hand And now you know And here I am" This could almost be a reference to alcoholism leading to the downfall, though i may be reading into it too literally. Either way, now she knows and here he is. Love this track. |
