House Is Falling
Whispers of Love in a Crumbling Sanctuary
Lyrics
There's a place I go when I'm feeling fine,
There's a specific mental or emotional refuge the singer goes to when feeling good.
And the hours pass with no track of time.
Time seems to pass effortlessly while in this state.
I'm in your arms, the sun lights your thighs,
The singer feels intimate and close to someone, noticing small details in a relaxed setting.
In the distance a doggy cries, my love.
Despite the peacefulness, there's a distant hint of sadness or disturbance.
We lay around in a smokey haze,
They spend time idly in a foggy atmosphere.
Drinking mint juleps and honey glaze.
Indulgence in pleasant things like drinks and sweets.
You comb my hair into a french chignon,
A moment of care or grooming, possibly signifying intimacy or affection.
Cigarettes overflowing in the ashtray, my love.
An abundance of cigarettes, indicating a relaxed or prolonged state of being together.
The biggest liar in town blows a kiss into the mirror.
Reference to a deceptive person sending love or affection into a void.
And the biggest liar in town, blows a kiss...
Reiteration of the aforementioned deceptive act.
My baby blows a kiss
The singer's baby blows a kiss, possibly reiterating affection or an act of deception.
Blows a kiss...
-My baby blows a kiss
-I trust you sugar you're in my blood,
Expressing deep trust and intimacy, acknowledging flaws but embracing closeness.
Box and blanket and broken rose bud.
Imagery of fragility and vulnerability amidst comfort.
I burn until the light goes out in your eye,
The singer feels emotionally connected until the other person loses interest.
The butter moon kisses the earthless sky, my love.
A poetic description of a moment between lovers.
The bed is soft and the food is so rich,
Comfort in material aspects but with a deeper bond.
We fall asleep sewing dreams, stitch by stitch.
Implies a shared imaginative or hopeful experience, constructing dreams together.
The house is old and it's falling down,
The physical setting (house) is in decline.
But it's falling slow so we're safe and sound, my love.
Despite the decline, they feel secure due to the slow pace of deterioration.
The biggest liar in town blows a kiss into the mirror.
Repetition of the earlier lines, emphasizing the act of blowing kisses and potentially hinting at deceit or insincerity.
And the biggest liar in town, blows a kiss...
-My baby blows a kiss.
-Blows a kiss...
-My baby blows a kiss.
-Blows a kiss...
-My baby blows a kiss.
-The biggest liar in town blows a kiss into the mirror.
-And the biggest liar in town, blows a kiss...
-My baby blows a kiss
-Blows a kiss
-My baby blows a kiss
Continuation of the act of blowing a kiss.
