Lyrics
I've been haunting my own house

Nothing new besides this déjà vu
Nothing seems new, just a repeated feeling of experiencing the same events again (déjà vu).
It's all just Desmond Blue
Refers to a feeling of sadness or melancholy (Desmond Blue).
The woodwinds tailspin and
There's chaos or confusion represented by the woodwinds spiraling out of control.
You've been wearing the same blouse
Someone has been consistently wearing the same clothing item (blouse).
Weeks on end, there's that robe again
Continued repetition of seeing the same robe for weeks.
It's a family friend

My socks take walks without me but
Socks are moving on their own, suggesting an eerie or ghostly atmosphere.
We abide
We tolerate or accept these unusual occurrences.
When the dust and the rust
Even amidst chaos (dust and rust), there's an assurance of safety.
Combust we'll still be
Despite upheavals, they will remain secure.
Safe inside
They find safety within their own confines.
In the thick of the sticks
They live in an environment that feels rough or challenging.
And stones we call our home
Describing their home as a place with difficulties but it's their own.
We've been watching the pot boil
Observing tension or conflict reaching its peak.
Chemistry in a cup of tea
Comparing the dynamics of relationships to chemistry.
Comes down to entropy

Electrons move along and
Electrons moving suggests movement or change within their environment.
We survive
Despite challenges, they manage to survive.
In the dust and the rust
They cope with difficulties and chaos.
Concussed but somehow
Despite being injured or shaken, they're still alive.
Still alive
They endure through thick and thin.
Through the thick and thin
Challenges are part of their household and life.
Within our house and home
They take pride in what makes their house a home.
We take pride
Mentions their appreciation for nature and dental care.
In our fauna and our fluoride
Feeling judged or misunderstood by others.
You keep looking at us cross-eyed
Others view them critically or with skepticism.
But the fools in town are on our side
Despite criticism, there's support from some people in town.
I've been haunting my own spouse
Feeling disconnected or distant from their partner.
Nothing new, not even déjà vu
Nothing feels new or different in their relationship.
Inside this causal loop
They feel stuck in a repeating cycle within their relationship.
Our cells accelerate and
Cells speeding up, possibly referencing an emotional or physical collision.
We collide

With the dust and the rust
Even amid chaos, there's a belief in finding resolution.
And trust we'll settle
They trust in finding a settlement despite difficulties.
Safe inside
Feeling safe within the relationship despite challenges.
In the thick of the sticks
Similar to earlier, facing challenges within their home environment.
And stones that make our home
Reiteration of the struggles faced within their home.
In the thick of the sticks
Repeated mention of the difficulties faced in their home environment.
And stones we call our home
Reaffirmation of their home being amidst challenges.
