Domino's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the big gnomes
Fountains in the yard
Think it's rhinestone
I roam
With these trees like it's pine cones
Got these
Mind goals mind soul body and home
Cuz lately I see This often
A couple in their garden
But they're not even talking
Sitting in the silence of their truth in plenty
A home filled with rich but they're both feeling empty
In a place where the homes are all locked in
Everybody wants one but It fees like a coffin
Now I'm feeling nauseous
They wanna get away so they turn to the office
Now Bobbys really sloppy and he felt a wee bit crazy
He tried to brush It off but It comes back on the daily
So he saw the secretary the way he sees his porn now
Now they have a baby cuz they tried to make a porn now
Places looking good but It don't feel like It
From the outside in
False advertisement
They got Marble porches
Ferrari's and some Porsches
House enormous
They got forests for their horses
And the floors are gorgeous
Tip toe fortress forces forfeit
Makes this orbit morbid
Feels like orchids cuz they're
Boarded in a box where the walls tend to haunt
Where the faults go to locks so the carpets all hot
Like the roof is on fire
Guess they're already caught
Cuz they're living off secrets
In community lots
I was chillin in the culdesac
Like I did real often
I started seeing mansions for the richest coffins
This picture perfect portrait is the cheapest option
I'm walking around the neighborhood and feeling nauseous cuz
Places looking good but It don't feel like It
From the outside in
False advertisement
In "Advertisement," Domino discusses the stark contrast between the exterior appearance of upscale homes and the emotional emptiness of those who inhabit them. Through clever wordplay and vivid imagery, the rapper highlights the discrepancy between the glitz and glamour advertised by these homes and the reality of their inhabitants' lives.
In the first verse, Domino paints a picture of a wealthy neighborhood filled with ostentatious displays of wealth. From the "big gnomes" and fountains in the yards to the luxurious cars parked in the driveways, there's no shortage of eye-catching status symbols on display. However, as he observes a couple sitting in complete silence in their garden, he realizes that these outward displays of wealth are ultimately empty and unfulfilling.
The second verse offers a darker perspective on the same theme. As he continues to walk through the neighborhood, Domino notices that the once-beautiful homes now feel like "coffins" to their inhabitants. People are willing to sacrifice their mental health for the sake of chasing wealth, as evidenced by Bobby's infidelity with his secretary. Yet despite this, the false advertisement of these homes continues to lure people in with their perfectly manicured lawns and grandiose façades.

Describing the eerie atmosphere of the area due to seclusion and concealment of flaws
Like the roof is on fire, Guess they're already caught, Cuz they're living off secrets, In community lots
Metaphorically using the idea of a house burning down to represent the secretive, combustible nature of the community
I was chillin in the culdesac, Like I did real often
Relating to a familiar setting in the neighborhood
I started seeing mansions for the richest coffins, This picture perfect portrait is the cheapest option
Realizing the high cost of living in these magnificent homes and the superficial nature of maintaining the image
