The House Shook
Shaking Foundations: Hey Mercedes Unveils the Meaning Behind 'The House Shook'
Lyrics
Safe for now
Feeling secure at the moment.
I turn around now to turn
Turning around for some reason.
The television drone down down
Television noise is decreasing.
Cause in the night those same sounds
At night, familiar sounds become more pronounced.
Amplify in my life
These sounds have a significant impact on the person's life.
They spill on the floor and out the front door
Sounds spill out and affect the surroundings.
And when I finished the book the house shook.
Finishing a book causes a significant event, possibly metaphorical.
hey babe when the walls shake
Addressing a partner; when the walls shake, there's a financial opportunity.
We'll be halfway to the bank
Anticipating financial gain when facing adversity.
Hey babe when the floors quake
Facing challenges, expecting financial returns.
We'll be shaking out the take.
Profiting from difficult situations.
safe for now
Reiterating the feeling of safety for the moment.
Every damn day a hero of mine dies trying to fly
A hero dies daily while pursuing lofty goals.
And they lie where their lovers lie
Similar to heroes, lovers may also face challenges.
Like everything's fine
Despite difficulties, maintaining a facade of normalcy.
So pound on the chest and hope for the best
Expressing hope and optimism, symbolized by pounding on the chest.
And I'll give you that like
Offering assurance despite uncertainties.
Like we're off the hook.
Feeling relieved as if released from responsibility.
hey babe when the walls shake
Repeating the idea of financial gain during challenges with a partner.
We'll be halfway to the bank
Anticipating financial progress during difficult times.
Hey babe when the floors quake
Expecting to profit from adversity.
We'll be shaking out the take.
Gaining benefits despite challenges.
Hey babe are you awake?
Checking if the partner is awake, possibly addressing a shared experience.
safe for now
Reiterating the sense of safety for the moment.
So be sure and save us now
Encouraging someone to save the situation now.
Safe for now
Feeling secure at the moment.
So be brave and save us now.
Encouraging bravery to ensure safety.
