House
Hobo/Monk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And then it clicked in my brain, and then my brain got bent
And at that moment, I thought
That I should go to Jordan's house
As I leave not a second too late
I think I hear a man breaking into my gate
And then I think, man
Now I should really go to Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Out of breath with my heartbeat bruising
My ribs and my lungs aren't working
And now nothing could stop me
From getting to Jordan's house
Now I'm speeding and I'm blowing the reds
Paranoid about this Mitsubishi Eclipse
I put the pedal to the goddamn floor
We're going to Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
I park my car just as fast as I can
I forgot my shoes and the speech I had planned
But behold, look at this beauty
It's Jordan's house
And I text him to come outside
And he looks at my eyes and he is very surprised
I am losing my fucking mind
At Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
I decide to just give him the gist
And he looks kinda bored as I'm fucking nailing it
And I start to think, maybe it's time
To leave Jordan's house
I say, "Jordan, can't you see
What all these implications mean?
Jordan, God is dead but I'm alive"
At Jordan's House
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
Jordan's house
The lyrics of Hobo Johnson and the LoveMakers’ song “Jordan’s House” detail an experience of paranoia and panic that leads the singer to race to his friend Jordan’s house. The singer is convinced that someone is trying to break into his own house, and his fear and desperation escalate as he speeds through red lights and forgets his shoes and planned speech upon arriving at Jordan’s house. The song reflects the intense emotional turmoil that can come with feeling unsafe and vulnerable, and how seeking refuge with a friend can provide comfort and a sense of security.
The repeated refrain of “Jordan’s house” throughout the song emphasizes the central role that the location plays in the singer’s experience. While it is not explicitly stated what makes Jordan’s house a safe haven, it is clear that the singer feels that he is able to face his fears and confront his feelings of mortality there. The song ends with the singer attempting to explain the weight of his experience to Jordan, who appears uninterested, suggesting that the intensity of the singer’s emotions may not be as visible to others.
Overall, “Jordan’s House” captures the inner workings of a mind experiencing intense fear and anxiety, and the desperate need for a place of refuge in the face of such emotions.
