This song used to give me goosebumps. I don't listen to Poe much anymore, but I still appreciate her music. I love this song because not only is it about love and reliance, it's about strength, and taking something back. A house that is monstrous and oppressive can seem like or represent a despair for a person, and in this song, through love, through finding an inner infallible spirit can the speaker overcome what is killing her. It's beautiful.
