House
Rebuilding Dreams: Unveiling the Hidden Messages in Shortstraw's 'House'
Lyrics
It's nice to see you out
Expressing pleasure at seeing someone outside
And I like to take you out
Expressing a desire to spend time with someone outside
If I could just build a house
Desire to create/build something significant, metaphorically represented as a "house"
And start it again, start it all over again
Wish to start afresh, to begin anew
All over again
Emphasis on the desire to restart
All over again
Reiteration of the longing for a fresh start
And it's nice to be around
Enjoying someone's presence
I'd like you to stick around
Wanting someone to stay around or remain present
If I like to build you a house
Expressing the desire to create something for someone else
To start this again, can we start it all over again
Wishing to start over a relationship or situation
All over again
Emphasizing the wish for a fresh start
All over again
Repetition of the desire for renewal
Start it again
Expressing the intent to begin again
Start it all over again
Stressing the longing to restart completely
Confidence is confidence
Repetition emphasizing the importance of confidence
Confidence is confidence
-Confidence is confidence
-But common sense is
Emphasizing the importance of common sense
Common sense is common sense
-Common sense is common sense
-Common sense is common sense
-But confidence is
Contrasting the significance of confidence with common sense
Why can't I see you out
Questioning the absence of someone outside
And I like to find you out
Desire to discover or understand someone better
I'd like to rebuild this house
Expressing the intent to reconstruct or repair a relationship ("house")
And start it again, start it all over again
Reiterating the wish for a fresh start
All over again
Emphasizing the desire for complete renewal
All over again
Repetition underscoring the longing for a new beginning
Start it again
Expressing the intention to restart
Start it all over
Emphasizing the wish to start everything anew
