One, is… Read Full Bio ↴There are two artists (possibly more) with the name Dominos.
One, is from Tulsa, Oklahoma. "Lindsey [Neal] and Aaron [Hamby] decided to make some music together. Lindsey recorded and played instruments. Aaron sat around and drank booze, while occasionally singing and playing instruments. Lindsey didn't drink all that much and was productive, while Aaron lacked productivity but excelled in passing out mid way through the recording sessions. Enjoy."

Dominos 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

In the first verse of the song Advertisment, Domino talks about his observations as he walks around a wealthy neighborhood. He describes how everything looks perfect with big homes, fancy decorations, and well-manicured lawns, but when he takes a closer look, people seem empty, unhappy, and disconnected. In the second verse, he talks about the pressure people feel to own a big house and how they turn to work for an escape. He talks about how people are caught up in their superficial lives, and they end up living secret lives full of lies. The chorus talks about how people often present a false image of themselves and how the reality can be different.
Line by Line Meaning
Scrolling thru this city with these big homes
Walking through the city where all the houses are extravagantly huge
With the big gnomes
Garden gnomes outside the houses
Fountains in the yard
Decorative water fountains in the garden
Think it's rhinestone
Assuming that everything is fake and superficial
I roam
Wandering aimlessly through the neighborhood
With these trees like it's pine cones
Observing the pine trees around
Got these
Having some thoughts
Mind goals mind soul body and home
Thinking about the things that matter - personal growth, spirituality, health, and family life
I be thinking as I walking
Reflecting on life while walking
Cuz lately I see This often
Noticing a recurring theme in the neighborhood
A couple in their garden
A husband and wife sitting in their garden
But they're not even talking
Not communicating with each other
Sitting in the silence of their truth in plenty
Being rich but feeling empty inside
A home filled with rich but they're both feeling empty
Emphasizing the emptiness and superficiality of the neighborhood
In a place where the homes are all locked in
Being in a neighborhood where every home is fenced in
Everybody wants one but It feels like a coffin
Feeling suffocated in the neighborhood
Now I'm feeling nauseous
Feeling sick
They wanna get away so they turn to the office
Finding refuge in work
Now Bobbys really sloppy and he felt a wee bit crazy
Bobby is feeling stressed and overwhelmed

Ferrari's and some Porsches
The residents own expensive sports cars
House enormous
The houses are incredibly huge
They got forests for their horses
There are forests next to the houses for horse riding
And the floors are gorgeous
The floors inside the houses are beautiful
Tip toe fortress forces forfeit
The houses are like fortresses where people have to be careful all the time, and everything comes at a cost
Makes this orbit morbid
The atmosphere in the neighborhood is depressing
Feels like orchids cuz they're
The environment feels artificial, like a fabricated orchid
Boarded in a box where the walls tend to haunt
Feeling trapped in a world that feels haunted by the past
Where the faults go to locks so the carpets all hot
Keeping the hidden and uncomfortable truths locked away, but eventually, it all comes out
Like the roof is on fire
The situation feels out of control, like a house on fire
Guess they're already caught
Feeling like the people in the neighborhood are already trapped
Cuz they're living off secrets
The community thrives on secrets and hidden scandals
In community lots
The community is united only by materialistic motives
I was chillin in the culdesac
Relaxing in the street that ends in a circle
Like I did real often
As he used to do many times before
I started seeing mansions for the richest coffins
Realizing that these houses may only be a way for people to showcase their wealth before they die
This picture perfect portrait is the cheapest option
Living this perfect life may only be a façade that actually costs people their happiness
I'm walking around the neighborhood and feeling nauseous cuz
Feeling sick from being in the overly materialistic, superficial neighborhood
Places looking good but It don't feel like It
The neighborhood looks beautiful, but it doesn't feel real
From the outside in
What looks good on the outside isn't always what it seems
False advertisement
The neighborhood portrays itself as something it's not
