Dreamhouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your empty vows still ringing in my ears
Though I'm getting closer
To moving on away from here
The thought of you still makes it hard to breathe
But not enough
I'll make you see cause
Can you hear me?
I'm dreaming for you to know
I need clarity
I've been driving myself mad
Going over in my head
The ways you've wronged me
And how our narrative will end
I've spent so many years feeling entirely inadequate
Though I know deep inside
It's just your demons keeping me down
I need to find some steady ground
I can sink my feet into
Some sound support I could never get from you
I'm screaming
Can you hear me?
I'm dreaming for you to know
I need clarity
I've been driving myself mad
Going over in my head
The ways you've wronged me
And how our narrative will end
Your tight grip around my neck tends to hold me back
It's not enough
I'll know you'll see when
I'm screaming
Can you hear me?
I'm dreaming for you to know
I need clarity
I've been driving myself mad
Going over in my head
The ways you've wronged me
And how our narrative will end
I've spent so many years feeling entirely inadequate
Though I know deep inside
It's just your demons keeping me down
I need to find some steady ground
I can sink my feet into
Some sound support I could never get from you
The lyrics to Dreamhouse's song Clarity are about a person who is struggling to move on from a toxic relationship. They acknowledge that their ex-partner's empty promises and mistreatment have left scars, making it difficult for them to breathe and move forward. Despite this, they are determined to find clarity and closure, even if it means facing the painful memories and confronting their ex-partner.
The chorus of the song conveys the singer's desperation to be heard, understood, and validated by their ex-partner. They are screaming for them to know how much they have been wronged and how deeply they have been hurt. The singer acknowledges that they have previously felt inadequate due to their abusive partner's control and manipulation. However, they are now determined to find a stable and supportive ground to stand on and move forward independently.
One interesting fact about the song Clarity is that it was released in 2017 as part of Dreamhouse's debut album entitled "In Bloom". The album features a mix of pop, electronic, and rock music and has themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery. Another interesting fact is that Dreamhouse is a Canadian indie pop band consisting of members Alex Pulec, Liam Kilawee, and Jackson Gardner. They gained recognition in the Canadian music scene after their single "Phoenix" was featured in the TV series "The Bold Type".

Gorgeous voice. First time hearing of Dreamhouse, but I love it so much.

I think it sounds like paramore, not just because there’s a female vocalist, but she sounds just like paramore’s singer? And the song structure itself is just very paramore-esque
I don’t see it as a bad thing that they’re being compared to Riot era paramore, because that’s a sick album and sound, and this reminds me of that.
