HOUSE INTO HOME
From Despair to Belonging: Transforming a House into Home
Lyrics
My chest surrenders to stress in tangled knots
Feeling overwhelmed with stress, manifested as physical tension in the chest.
I can't remember the last breath that wasn't sharp
Struggling to recall a recent breath that wasn't marked by sharp discomfort.
My heartbeat's climbing at reckless speeds
Heartbeat accelerating at a dangerously fast pace.
Around the corner, on the edge, leaning over the ledge
Being on the brink, at the edge, contemplating a risky situation.
You reach out, you call to me
Receiving support and encouragement, possibly from someone important.
We built this house into a home
Symbolizing the transformation of a mere house into a warm and welcoming home.
It's never better off on your own
Expressing that being together is preferable to being alone.
This house could be your home
Suggesting that the shared space can become a meaningful home.
My hand's on the door
Contemplating leaving or entering, with the hand on the door implying a moment of decision.
I'm glued to the floor
Feeling stuck or immobilized in a situation.
I'm one bad thought from spiraling
Facing the risk of negative thoughts leading to a downward spiral.
Another night to decide if I should stay
Weighing the decision to stay or leave, especially during challenging nights.
Or step forward to go
Considering the choice to move forward or step back.
I look down and out and back again
Reflecting on past experiences, possibly involving setbacks.
Am I down and out?
Questioning one's current state of being down and out.
We built this house into a home
Reiterating the idea of transforming a physical space into a comforting home.
It's never better off on your own
Emphasizing the value of togetherness over solitude.
This house could be your home
Reaffirming the potential for the shared space to become a meaningful home.
I run away, run away, run away
Expressing a desire or impulse to escape from current circumstances.
I run away on my own
Choosing to run away independently, possibly seeking solitude.
I run away, run away, run away
Repeating the act of running away, reinforcing the theme of independence.
I run away on my own
Continuing the theme of running away and being on one's own.
I run away on my own
Stressing the individualistic act of running away without external influence.
You tracked me down and brought me back again
Someone reaching out, intervening, and bringing the person back to a shared space.
You sat me down
Sitting down, possibly for a serious conversation or reflection.
We built this house into a home
Reiterating the transformation of a physical space into a comforting home.
It's never better off on your own
Highlighting the importance of companionship over solitude.
This house could be your home
Reaffirming the potential for the shared space to become a meaningful home.
House into a home (into a home)
Repeating the idea of converting a house into a home for emphasis.
House into a home (into a home)
Reiterating the transformation of a physical space into a comforting home.
House into a home (into a home)
Emphasizing the repeated process of turning a house into a home.
House into a home (into a home)
Reaffirming the ongoing effort to convert a house into a meaningful home.
