This is spooky. For me this is the perspective of a ghost haunting the house of someone they knew, perhaps an ex lover. "I play at night in your house, I live another life" - i.e. the afterlife "I change the time in your house" - like a poltergeist messing around with the clocks, also links back to the idea of "playing" around at night - the ghost is messing around. The scariest bit of all: "I hear no sound in your house
Silence In the empty rooms" = although people are living in the house the ghost can't see hear or interact with the living as it's stuck in a dark parallel universe / in limbo. The "pretending to swim" bit I just can't put my finger on. Perhaps I am just chatting utter breeze.
