House on the Hill
Beach House Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just to reach your door
But I won't be there
How does it feel like
House on the Hill
You'd give anyone
Just to reach your door
And I won't be there
The lyrics to Beach House's song House on the Hill paint a picture of longing and loss. The singer is aware that someone is reaching out to them, maybe even begging for them to come back into their life, but they are unwilling or unable to do so. The repetition of the line "You'd give anything just to reach your door" emphasizes the level of desire and desperation coming from the other person. However, the singer is resolute in their decision, knowing that they won't be there.
The line "How does it feel like House on the Hill" is particularly interesting. It could be interpreted to mean that the singer views themselves as above the other person, like they are living in a mansion on a hill while the other person is struggling. However, it could also refer to the feeling of being isolated and distant, like living in a house on top of a hill with no one around. Either way, the imagery contributes to the overall mood of the song, which is melancholic and introspective.

You'd give anything
You are willing to do whatever it takes
Just to reach your door
To be close to what you desire
But I won't be there
Unfortunately, you won't be able to get what you want
How does it feel like
What is the sensation of that experience
House on the Hill
An embodiment of something you long for that is just out of reach
You'd give anyone
You'd go to anyone if that's what it takes
Just to reach your door
To get to where you want to be
And I won't be there
Unfortunately, it won't happen

Um fim de tarde numa casa velha num topo de uma montanha, começando a nevar aos poucos, uma fogueira acesa lá dentro, na mão uma fotografia dela, seja lá quem ela for
