The House
Haddad Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A new moon is rising
Beyond the rainy clouds
Strange things happen
In this empty house

Old spirits talk to me
My eyes can clearly see them
I know I’m getting insane
After all theses Years

The night is falling
The lights were out
The past is calling
I’m lonely now

My life is running fast
Music is playing loud




I won’t draw the lines
I did my best.

Overall Meaning

In the first verse, Haddad sings about a new moon rising, symbolizing the start of something new or a fresh beginning. However, the moon is beyond the rainy clouds, which suggests a sense of gloom or obstacles in the way. The line "strange things happen in this empty house" may imply that something eerie or inexplicable is occurring within the singer's surroundings. It could also signify a feeling of emptiness or loneliness within oneself.


The second verse delves deeper into the singer's experiences in the empty house. They claim to hear old spirits speaking to them and that their eyes can clearly see them. This could be interpreted metaphorically as the singer having a heightened sense of perception or intuition. The line "I know I'm getting insane after all these years" suggests that over time, the surreal occurrences have taken a toll on the singer's mental state, blurring the line between reality and imagination.


As the night falls and the lights go out, the past begins to beckon the singer. This line can imply a nostalgic longing or a haunting revisitation of past memories. The feeling of loneliness is emphasized by the phrase "I'm lonely now," suggesting that the singer is feeling isolated and disconnected from others. The repetition of the word "now" might indicate a shift in the present circumstances, leading to this feeling of loneliness.


The final line of the lyrics adds another layer to the meaning of the song. The singer states that their life is running fast, potentially referring to the passage of time and the fleeting nature of existence. While music is playing loudly, symbolizing a distraction or an escape, the singer refuses to draw the lines, signifying that they have done their best to navigate through life's challenges. This line could indicate a sense of acceptance or resignation, acknowledging that despite their efforts, some aspects of life remain unresolved or uncertain.
