Houses
Seeking Solace Amidst Urban Monotony
Lyrics
Maybe now I’ll speak louder again
Expressing a desire or readiness to articulate thoughts more emphatically.
But speaking of rows of houses as time just just passes me by
Reflecting on the passage of time while observing rows of houses.
And patient is the thunder
Describing the thunder as patient, suggesting a calm and persistent nature.
Keeps me going under
Highlighting the role of thunder in keeping the speaker emotionally submerged or overwhelmed.
Over and over again
Repetition of the emotional struggle, indicating a recurring cycle.
But its always worth the wait
Stating that the wait is always justified, possibly in reference to enduring difficulties.
Hoping light can stay
Expressing a desire for hope and illumination to persist.
If we could just grow away from here
Yearning for a departure from the current situation, seeking a cleansing experience.
Go wash our hands in the sea
Suggesting a symbolic act of purification by washing hands in the sea.
Vague the noise in the mind
Desiring to quiet the mind by diminishing background noise.
And swim till no land can be seen
Imagining a retreat into the vastness of the sea, escaping from all visible land.
Have hope where there is wonder
Encouraging hope in the presence of wonder or amazement.
Keep me going under over and over again
Reiteration of the emotional struggle, emphasizing its repetitive nature.
The doves are reading pages all over the ages over and over again
Symbolizing the enduring nature of literature, represented by doves reading pages through different ages.
So buy a pretty penny
Encouraging the purchase of something beautiful or valuable.
Honey I don’t feel anything at all
Expressing emotional numbness or detachment, particularly in the context of beauty or value.
But it’s always worth the wait
Reiterating the idea that the wait is always worthwhile, with a continued emphasis on hope and light.
Hoping light can stay
Expressing a desire for the persistence of hope and illumination.
