Neglected Space Lyrics
Hello...
I watch you come and go
I know you can hear my voice
Don't walk away.
Come daydream with me
In closed loops and future-proof
Cardboard to caviar
Let's show them how good we are!
If you look after me, I'll look after you.
Sonar, night vision
or desperate lovers seeking privacy for
they're forbidden
I am their defenceless host
Through my open wounds they let
themselves in
Sheltered (sheltered)
they mock me (they mock me)
If you stand up for me, I'll stand up for you.
I'm weather-beaten in a losing battle
punctured by nature
becoming organic
The air in here ages me ungracefully
But if you take care of me, I will take care of you
Oh, my crumbling heart!
But if you'll be good to me, I'll be good to you
I'm a nest
I could be the best decision you ever made,
a beacon
your peaceful corner
Find me
cherish me
take me on or pull me down
You choose
Wait!
Oh, save me the ache of slow decay!
'Cause I will remember you, will you remember me?
Bespoke to broken, this interwoven
tapestry of tragedy
Crooked frames and cracked glazing
Slithers of wistful window gazes glint in
borrowed light.
Where doorways with no doors stage a
ballet of leaves
Who pirouette in the footsteps of once
glorious days...
But I'm peeling paint, I'm a sunken ceiling
I'm cracking up, and can seem threatening.
I'm falling apart
I'm scary at night
I'm taped up, forbidden
keep out, KEEP OUT!
No, no, no go zone
A has-been, a once was, the leftovers, an eyesore,
broken beer bottles, I'm bleeding, rusty
nails, oxidising, a few remaining tiles,
unloved, no human touch, I'm walked past, a
waste of space,
I'm a nuisance, a hazard, abandoned,
unwanted! Unwanted!
Lights off!
I'm losing grip
This is not what I stand for
This is not what I stand for
This is not what I stand for!!
It was a perfectly good grand piano
Stop in the name of love!
I got just what you're looking for!
I got tree-lined interiors
Where we can dine with the biosphere.
If you'll take care of me, I'll take care of you
If you be good to me, then I'll be good to you
I'm a story in mourning
and you're the author
So pour out your masterpiece
Entropy increasing
how long before I'm dust?
I watch you come and go
I know you can hear my voice
Don't walk away.
In closed loops and future-proof
Cardboard to caviar
Let's show them how good we are!

It's quite clear this song is about an old house, coming from the perspective of the house itself. It's falling apart and "yearning for the glorious days". It looks scary, but is a perfectly good place to live, if one were to take care of it.
