houses
Planet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At the end of my block
Boarded up and locked
Your house is empty

Roses that once grew outside
Have all shriveled up and died
Your house is empty
We would meet there everyday
Until you moved away
Now this house is empty

Those days now long dead and gone




My white? helped kill the lawn
Now this house is empty

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Planet's song "Houses" paint a picture of a house at the end of the singer's block. This house is now boarded up and locked, and it's empty. The roses that once grew outside are no longer there; they've shriveled up and died. The singer reminisces about days gone by when they would meet at the house every day. But those days are gone now that the person they met there has moved away, leaving the house empty. The singer looks back with regret and sadness, wondering how their white vehicle helped in some way to kill the lawn that now lies dead and lifeless around the house.


The song has a melancholic tone that reflects on the transience of life, love, and relationships. Our past experiences and memories can never be regained, and the empty house serves as a metaphor for the emptiness and loss that we experience when people we care about leave our lives. The lines "your house is empty, now this house is empty" parallel each other and emphasize the sense of void and isolation that the singer feels.

I feel a little slow, because I’ve always been into zodiac signs/astrology since I was a kid and I never* realized the zodiac signs were actually the major constellations. πŸ€” This video was so informative. I’m liking this series, great idea.

It's amazing how deep and detailed astrology is. Like wows. I just found out my rising sun sign and moon sign and it makes a lot of sense.

@D'Sapiou what the hell are you even saying? Astrology is infamous for not using scientific method.
