Go Radio – House of Hallways Lyrics 13 years ago
To me the song is about love and heart break.

"And as it gets dark in this house of hallways
And no corridor leads to the stairs
With still wet black paint on all the windows
We got no clocks 'cause time don't care here"

That sounds like he's become heartbroken, you lose track of time and yourself. The black windows might mean that the light in his life (love) is gone and theres nothing there to make him happy.

'So tell me your name young noble stranger
And tell me just what we're doing here
Have you painted walls with all the answers
Have you hidden doors with all our fears'

He's asking why do we deserve to be in the postion of heartbreak. Im not sure about painting walls with all the anwsers bit, im thinking maybe getting the emotions out. The hidden doors with fears meaning that he feels theres no way out cause his fears block all exits for him and wont allow him to leave this heartbroken feeling.

"What he said is the soul's rock hard but the heart's trapped underneath
And the weight of it all gets enough just to crush the best out of you and me
But I swear that there's someone who cares here enough to set us free
And if the world don't turn just enough to bring her honest
Then I guess we're better off forgotten'

"Souls rock hard.." Meaning he's being strong but inside he's dying from it all, heartbroken. He then says that there will be someone thatll save us from this heartbreak and bring us love, and if the one that put us here doesn't see how bad she's fucked up and lost out then your better off not being with them.

'The walls stay too thin in this house of hallways
They let through the echoes and the stares
And they'll bleed bright red with scribbled riddles
Scratched out of their panels by angered air'

His walls that are keeping everything in/out arent as strong and its showing to everyone how he feels and he can see and hear people talking about it. The riddles may refer to the questions why, why did she leave me? Why me? Why do I feel so broken? And being so angry about it all losing your sense of judgement.

"'Cause God knows I've made all my own choices
And if I drown alone it's 'cause I choose
To spend my time drinking in the stairwells
When we've both got way too much to prove'

Hes done everything he feels is right and he figures if its not enough for people then hed rather die alone. Drinking in the stairwells could mean drinking away the emotions with a stair case representing happyness (going up) and sadness (going down) and drinking leaves him unsure of how he feels so he sits in the stairwells.

This is my interpretation to the song anyways, song hits hard for me hope it does for others.
