Lyrics

Hello

Greeting, a simple acknowledgment

What do you want

Questioning someone's desires or intentions

You're irritating

Expressing annoyance or agitation towards someone

Go away

Requesting someone to leave or depart

It's not my fault

Stating a lack of responsibility for someone else's loneliness

That you're lonely

Suggesting to observe surroundings to realize shared experiences of loneliness

Just look around

Encouraging observation of the environment

I think you'll find that

Implying a commonality in experiencing problems

Everyone has the same problem

Commenting on the lack of a genuine sense of home

This is not a real home

Commenting on the thinness of the walls and lack of privacy

The walls are so thin

Reference to neighbors eavesdropping or listening

The neighbours listen in

Requesting to lower the noise due to complaints

Keep the noise down

Feeling ashamed or embarrassed

They're complaining

Describing a person conditioned to modesty and dependence

Humiliated

Questioning the need for concern at the present moment

You were born and bred

Emphasizing the existence of opportunities for change

Humble to the spoon fed

Indicating a waste of time or resources

Why worry now

Mixing feelings of admiration and hatred

You're not dead yet

Commenting on discontent individuals and their false image as heroes

You've got a whole lifetime to correct it

Comparing people to actors, implying pretense or insincerity

You're wasting

Referencing various perspectives or options

Admiring hating

Referring to a wide range of choices or variations

This lot are not happy heroes

Referring to taking out the trash or empties

Just better actors

Repeating a demand to make noise by banging the door

A hundred and one dilations

Reiterating refusal to answer phone calls or the door

And fifty seven varieties

-

Outside with the empties

-

Keep banging the door

-

Keep banging the door

-

Keep banging the door

-

I won't answer the phone

-

I won't answer the door

Reference to mythical reptilian creatures, hinting at distrust or refusal

Reptilians

Consistent refusal to let someone in despite potential understanding from another

I won't let you in

-

If he knew we were here

-

I'm sure he'd let us in

-

I won't let you in

-

Alright, stop Nick

Interruption in the scene, calling out a name (Nick)


This is not a real home

Continued refusal to allow entry despite the belief that another person might allow it

The walls are so thin

-

The neighbours listen in

-

Keep the noise down

-

They're complaining

-

I won't let you in

-

If he knew we were here

-

I'm sure he'd let us in

-

I won't let you in

-

I won't let you in

-

Won't let you in

-

If he knew we were here

-

I'm sure he'd let us in

-

I won't let you in

-

If he knew we were here

-

I'm sure he'd let us in

-

Keep banging the door

Repeating the demand to make noise by banging the door and refusing to respond to calls or visitors

Keep banging the door

-

Keep banging the door

-

I won't answer the phone

-

I won't answer the door

-

Keep banging the door

Reiteration of the previous line's refusal to answer the door
