Open House Lyrics

Days go by. Turn into weeks.
I'm not vagrant but I've really
Nothing to speak of... life's purposes evading me.
Try oh though I might,
Can't keep 'em in my sight... And now who's controlling me?
If it's not myself, it must be someone else you see.
Face down in a pool of my own sorrow.
Will it last or will it leave tomorrow?
Broken man, he's got you on his mind.
All life's rewards are broken dreams someone forgot I guess;
Forgot to wake me up you see.
Are you suprised the world's not free?
Now words are all you've got,
Words aren't good enough for me.
You've gutta move if you'll be free.
You gutta bow your head.
You gutta give it up.
Be free.
Face down in a pool of my own sorrow.
Will it last or will it leave tomorrow?
Broken man, he's got you on his mind.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is an excelleant song. I'm not very deep so I won't try to tell you exactly what it's about but it seems at first he's saying how life is meaningless and then at the end how you have to give yourself to God to be free
