This House
Edison Glass Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They protect me from the storm
I'm alone but I wait for someone
One who keeps the lights on
One who keeps the house warm
I feel a swaying rhythm
If we get swept to sea I'll be happy
I wish you'd keep the lights down
I wish you'd keep the house warm
We have enough we can handle it
If we don't make I will fall apart
All is in vain for us.
I think we can make it now
I think that we can make it
I wish you'd keep the lights down
I wish you'd keep the house warm
The lyrics of Edison Glass's "This House" suggest that the singer is seeking comfort and protection from the stormy world outside. The shutting of windows is metaphorical for shutting out the external troubles and turbulence. The singer is also waiting for someone to keep the lights on and house warm, possibly a reference to emotional or physical support for a stormy time in their life. There is a sense of melancholy intermingled with resilience and hope, as the singer believes that they have enough strength to handle the challenges they face. The last line of the chorus, "I wish you'd keep the lights down, I wish you'd keep the house warm", seems to be a repeated plea to a specific individual to offer comfort during the trying time.
The second verse continues with the same tone, as the singer speaks of feeling a "swaying rhythm" amidst the storm. There is a temptation to just let go and be swept away by the sea, an analogy to surrendering to the turmoil. However, the singer chooses to hold on and face the situation with fortitude. They feel that they can make it through, and that they will be able to weather the storm.
Overall, the song seems to be about facing the challenges of life and seeking comfort and support during difficult times. It is a melancholic, yet hopeful song that encourages resilience and the belief that we can, and will, make it through the storm.

This music video gave me a case of the feels in 2009, and it's giving me a case of the feels in 2012. Ooh, this band is good. They're probably #1 on my list of bands I wished were still active. I would snatch a new album up if they ever released one.
