In This Hell
House of Unspoken Truths
Lyrics
Leaks in my eyes and
Expressing tears or sadness in my eyes
Creaks in my bones
Sensations of aging or weariness in my body
Where did the time go?
Reflecting on the passage of time
Since you came over and fixed me up
Time since someone came and helped me recover
Dirty water
Metaphor for impurity or negativity in our nature
In our blood
Symbolizing shared flaws or troubles in a relationship
Broken relationship
Acknowledging a damaged relationship
You blamed it on the flood oh
Attributing issues to external causes, like a flood
Why do I always fuck it up
Expressing a pattern of self-sabotage
The pipes hear all the things that
Imagining inanimate objects hearing unspoken truths
That we won’t admit
Avoiding admission of certain feelings or truths
And whisper to the sink
Inanimate objects conveying secrets to the sink
All of our secrets
Revealing hidden aspects of the relationship
There’s no hiding from this house
Emphasizing the lack of concealment in the house
There’s no home in this hell
Describing a place devoid of comfort or warmth
Distant dreams
Referring to aspirations that seem distant or unattainable
Fill our heads of
Desire for freedom from the relationship
Getting free
Expressing separation in beds
From each other’s bed
Portraying a quiet or strained atmosphere
Oh we’re quiet now
Objects witnessing physical evidence of strife
The pipes see all the bruises
Highlighting visible marks of conflict
And all of the scars
Objects revealing signs of emotional pain
And whisper to the sink
Inanimate objects conveying emotional distance
We’ve grown more than apart
Stating that the relationship has grown distant
There’s no hiding from this house
Emphasizing the lack of concealment in the house (repeated)
There’s no home in this hell
Reiterating the absence of a comforting home
Darkened eyes from last night
Describing physical signs of a difficult night
I promise I won’t be honest
Committing to dishonesty about one's feelings
This time
Promising to hide true emotions
And if anyone asks
Pledging to portray a facade of well-being
I swear I’ll say I’m fine, I swear I’ll say I’m
Swearing to present a false sense of okayness
I’m fine
Repeated affirmation of being fine
The mirror shows me all the things I
Confronting undesirable aspects of oneself in the mirror
Can’t stand to be
Whispering insecurities and self-dislike to the sink
And whispers to the sink
Questioning one's identity or negative self-perception
Who’s this monster I see?
Labeling oneself as a monstrous figure
There’s no hiding from this house
Reiterating the lack of concealment in the house (repeated)
There’s no home in this hell
Reemphasizing the absence of a comforting home (repeated)
There’s no hiding from ourselves
Acknowledging the impossibility of hiding from oneself
There’s no home in this hell
Reiterating the absence of a comforting home (repeated)
