Alone in My Home

A haunting, melancholy ode to isolation and bitter reminiscence.

I think this song is about having a crush on someone and finally being able to forget them.

"This light That shines on me tonight Turns on When you wander through my door

And your friends Won't see you to the end I'm sure But you love them anyhow"

She brightens up his day but she only sees him and loves him as a friend.

"Lost feelings of love Lost feelings of love That hover above me"

He is starting to fall out of love with her.

"The ghosts That visit me the most Drop by 'Cause they know they can find me here

And they claim To be help from me in chains But come on They're guilty as sin, my dear"

The "ghosts" are the dreams that he still has about her and the remains of love that he still has in him. He thinks that those dreams will help him getting over her but they only make him love her more.

"These stones That are thrown against my bones Break through But they hurt less as time goes on

And alone I build my own home To be sure That nobody can touch me now"

The "stones that are thrown into his bones" are the pain that hits him each time he is reminded that she doesn't love him, but as time goes by he tries to forget her and "build his own home", which means feeling comfortable with himself and "protecting" himself against love.
