The House
Jolly Jackers - Sobriety (2015) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let’s get in!
Slowly creep along the walls
and jump through the broken window!
Don’t make a noise!
It’s dark, light the candles!
Everybody is here, the girls, the whiskey,
and we’re gonna have a ball!
Our shadows are dancing on the wall.
More and more I feel alive.
Jokes and laughs are breaking out.
Please come closer!
We’re singing crazy songs.
The dogs! Not the dogs again!
My heart skips a beat,
the barking’s getting louder and I feel the heat!
Hey! Hey! Blow the candles out!
Hey! Take the bottles and get out!
Hey! Hey! Get your girl and run!
Hey! For tonight there’s no more fun!
Run for your life! Run for your life!
The lyrics of "The House" by Jolly Jackers - Sobriety (2015) tell a story of a group of people seeking refuge and escape from the outside world in a quiet and deserted house. The opening line, "The house is quiet again," sets the scene and hints at the possibility of finding solace and freedom within its walls.
The urgency to enter the house is emphasized with the line, "Let's get in!" This is followed by a description of sneaking around cautiously, "Slowly creep along the walls," and finding a way to enter through a broken window. The characters are advised not to make any noise, highlighting the need for secrecy and discretion in their actions.
Once inside, the atmosphere changes as they light candles to alleviate the darkness. The lyrics then mention the presence of "girls" and "whiskey," implying a lively and celebratory gathering. The phrase "we're gonna have a ball" suggests a sense of anticipation and excitement for the night ahead.
The second paragraph conveys the joyous and carefree atmosphere in the house. The shadows of the participants are described dancing on the walls, symbolizing a sense of liberation and liveliness. Laughter and jokes fill the air and the individuals encourage each other to come closer, fostering a sense of camaraderie and togetherness.
However, the mood abruptly shifts with the arrival of barking dogs. This unexpected intrusion leads to a tense moment as the singer's heart skips a beat, feeling the mounting fear and pressure. The repeated line "Run for your life!" conveys the urgency to escape and suggests that the temporary refuge of the house is no longer safe.
