House to Myself
Embracing Solitude: Lilly Gitlitz's Joyful Anthem of Self-Love
Lyrics
Dooooooooo
Repetition of "Dooooooooo" sets a contemplative or meditative tone.
Dooooooooo
Continuation of the contemplative or meditative tone established in line 1.
Who would've thought that I'd love so deeply
Expressing surprise at the depth of her own love.
Waking up with just myself in triangles of light
Describing waking up alone in a peaceful setting with sunlight forming triangles.
Decorate my body like the strokes of a painting
Comparing adorning her body to strokes in a painting, suggesting self-expression.
Saunter to the kitchen that I cleaned last night
Strolling to the kitchen she cleaned, emphasizing self-sufficiency.
Cook myself a hearty breakfast, watch the butter slide
Enjoying making breakfast, savoring the visual of butter sliding in the pan.
Cross the pan like a socked kid down a hallway to the other side
Imagery of walking like a carefree child, emphasizing independence.
Chop up the herbs till the house smells of the color green
Enhancing the atmosphere with the scent of herbs, symbolizing growth.
I am alone, I am my own, and I'll just be
Affirming solitude as a positive state, embracing self-reliance.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Expressing surprise at the unexpected enjoyment of being alone.
And I never thought, and I never thought
Repetition emphasizes the disbelief or change in perspective.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Reiteration of the newfound fun in solitude.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Emphasizing the transformative experience of being alone.
I got the house to myself 'cause I built it just for one
Highlighting the intentional design of her living space for solo enjoyment.
I'm 20 years old
Stating her age, reflecting on the passage of time.
Worlds ago I was small, worlds away from it all
Recalling a distant past and the significant changes since then.
And I can hear my own echo
Hearing her own echo implies introspection and self-awareness.
Off these aching walls, let this blessed home call
Describing her home as blessed, suggesting gratitude for her current situation.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Reiteration of the unexpected enjoyment of solitude.
And I never thought, and I never thought
Repetition for emphasis on the transformative nature of her experience.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Reiterating the surprising joy found in being alone.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Emphasizing the positive impact of solitude on her life.
I got the house to myself 'cause I built it just for one
Reiterating the intentional design of her living space for solo enjoyment.
Oh don't you know over here it's a party
Expressing that being alone is a joyful celebration.
A party of one
Reiteration that the party is a solitary celebration.
Oh don't you know right here it's a party
Emphasizing the ongoing celebration of self in solitude.
A party of one
Affirming the solitary nature of the ongoing celebration.
I'll wake up in my skin and have a party
Describing waking up in her own skin as a celebration.
A party for one
Reiteration that the celebration is solely for herself.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Reiteration of the unexpected enjoyment of solitude.
And I never thought, and I never thought
Repetition for emphasis on the transformative nature of her experience.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Reiterating the surprising joy found in being alone.
And I never thought it could be so fun
Emphasizing the positive impact of solitude on her life.
I got the house to myself 'cause I built it just for one
Reiterating the intentional design of her living space for solo enjoyment.
Dooooooooo
Continuation of the contemplative or meditative tone.
