Catchy hooks are built of tight drumming, sleepy bass lines, rhythmic guitar, accented by the occassional tasty chop or solo, and glossy and varied keyboard elements, all cinched in by perfect vocal arrangements and performances which display experienced use of range, style and technique. The more-than-adept musicianship is carried home by deceptively simple yet convicting and relateable lyrics, which manage to bring a smirk to your face one moment, only to melt it off the next; sarcasm, anguish, humor and hard-earned wisdom all play off each other seamlessly.

Pour Me Out
House Of Fools Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I, should I know what it feels like
This emptiness inside?
It becomes me
It's such a disease

Coursing through my veins
Erasing everything
And like the lightning in the sky

That gives light to this paradise

I'm making my mark this time
Fill me in
Make me whole again
And then pour me out
Pour me out

Again and again you win
I have to face the facts
Nothing I say ever means anything
Again and again we bend
Until we start to break

And if the sky starts to fall
Will anyone care at all?
Will anyone care at all?

Fill me in
Make me whole again

And then pour me out
Pour me out
