I don't get the song being about her dead father, but then again I got the album after reading House of Leaves, and this song appeals to me directly as someone lost in the house. It reminds me the most of Karen, Will Navidson's wife.
"Hallways....always" is a direct reference to the book. The recurrent echoes throughout brings to mind the chapter of Zampano's work on the Navidson Record about the significance of echoes and how they distort our messages. "Shadows keep on changing" and "the hallways in this tiny room" also seem straight from the book to me.
