| Ben Folds Five – House Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
In terms of what Ben Folds meant for the song, I think its about moving on from a bad past experience, the house is just a metaphor for the past. For me personally when I first heard the song it reminded me of moving on from a nearly deadly suicide attempt I had. "I'm never going back in that house again" meaning I will never get that close to that experience again. Seeing counsellors and nightmares are part of recovering from something like that. "t's just like waking up In that second and a half The bliss of not remembering Before it all comes flooding back" For me that means, when I wake up in the morning I don't have to remember what I am going through and the trauma I have been through for just a few moments. "So what do I do as all these voices come and go Could anyone live inside my head and never know" I am schizophrenic so that piece reminds me of myself very much so. "I'm not sorry For what I'm feeling" I am not sorry for being sick, and feeling this way because I know it not my fault. |
