This House Is Full Of Noise Lyrics

Baby, don't go and lose it again
You would always run out of the sun and into the rain
This house just creeps, it won't let you sleep
All that noise, there in your brain, won't give you peace

It says:
"I won't let you go where there's rivers or townfolk
I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me"

Baby, don't go, and love him again
You will always leap into a fire, into a flame
This house just aches to keep you safe
You're in every single thing
You're in the walls, you're in the space

It says:
"I won't let you go where there's rivers or townfolk
I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me"
"I won't let you go where there's rivers or townfolk
I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me"

Don't let your friends know you can't pay your debts
Don't let your friends know you can't pay your debts
Don't let your friends know you can't pay your debts...

This is how I perceive this song:

"Baby, don't go and lose it again" This is a girl who came from an abusive relationship telling herself not to fall for the same person again.

"You would always run out of the sun and into the rain" She seems to attract the same bad situation over and over

"This house just creeps," The house is the girl's mind and it is slow or down and depressed

"It won't let you sleep, all that noise, there in your brain, won't give you peace." She is overwhelmed by her negative thoughts

It says: "I won't let you go where there's rivers or town folk I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me" She is telling herself not to live her life and go out and be social. The only way she feels safe is to go inward and be by herself.

"Baby, don't go, and love him again" Again she is telling herself not to go back to the abusive guy.

"You will always leap into a fire, into a flame" Same as above.

"This house just aches to keep you safe You're in every single thing You're in the walls, you're in the space" She is very critical of herself. Analysing everything.

"Don't let your friends know you can't pay your debts" She mustn't let her friends know that she is losing her mind, she can't pay the 'mental rent' of the 'house'

Love this song :)

At first lyrics seemed really calm and soothing, but songs menacing atmosphere changed my mind, to me this song is about obsession, about a person who really believes this person is better with him, in his house, so he tries to warn her about outside world, possibly make her believe that she is outcast like him, when actually she's trapped against her will. I think it's about kidnapping. It reminded me of The Collector by John Fowles

I agree with B019, but I have some of my own thoughts also...

"Don't let your friends know you can't pay your debts" I think he saved his loved one out of some legal or financial issues, and then he holds this to his love as if she now owes him for what he did. And she can't tell anyone or else he'll suspend his help.

Other than that, this song is pretty straight forward, very eery, but this album is slowly growing on me!
