That Home feat Patrick Watson
The Cinematic Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where the doors are moaning all day long,
Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn,

Where the windows are breathing in the light,
Where the rooms are a collection of our lives,

This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place that I call my home
This is a place that I call my home





Overall Meaning

In The Cinematic Orchestra's song, "That Home," the lyrics describe a home that is not just a physical space, but a place where memories and experiences are collected. The house seems to be alive, moaning and breathing, and the stairs are leaning as if they have been worn down by years of use. The imagery used in the song creates a feeling of nostalgia and warmth, as if we are remembering our own childhood homes where we felt safe and comfortable.


The lyrics also hint at a sense of loneliness and the need for connection. The line "This is a place where I don't feel alone" suggests that the singer is finding solace in the memories and history of the house, and that it provides a sense of belonging. The repetition of the phrase "This is a place that I call my home" emphasizes the importance of this feeling of home, and how it can shape our identity and sense of self.


Overall, "That Home" is a beautiful and introspective song that captures the emotional resonance of a physical space that can also hold emotional significance.


Line by Line Meaning

Where the doors are moaning all day long,
Where the doors emit a mournful noise constantly throughout the day,


Where the stairs are leaning dusk 'till dawn,
Where the stairs incline from evening until morning,


Where the windows are breathing in the light,
Where the windows allow the light to flow and create a breath-like effect,


Where the rooms are a collection of our lives,
Where the rooms contain a culmination of our experiences and memories,


This is a place where I don't feel alone
This location brings about a sense of belonging and connectedness for me,


This is a place that I call my home
This is a space that I consider my own and feel most comfortable in,


This is a place that I call my home
This is a space that I consider my own and feel most comfortable in,

神奇海螺

There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home

'Cause, I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me

And, I built a home
For you
For me

Until it disappeared
From me
From you

And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

I'm sorry for your loss ❤ I think this poem may help too.
"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."
-Mary Elizabeth Frye

I hope you told him! As an older man I can speak from experience. I used to be best friends with this girl throughout my 20s. Some of the funnest times of my life spent with her, always adventuring and laughing together and no matter what it was always her I wanted to see when things were going bad in life and vise versa for her too. We were inseparable.

Times changed, we both got serious careers, I moved town and we sort of drifted apart. I ended up falling in love with an amazing woman and getting married.

I bumped into my old best friend again after about 7 years when visiting my home town and we stayed in contact. Eventually she told me how she was kicking herself for years because she always deeply loved me but could never bring herself to tell me because she was afraid that I didn’t feel the same. Thing was I did, I always knew deep down that I was in love with her but I wanted her to want me and tell me that she did.

I would never leave the woman I am married to as she is a fantastic woman and I love her. But there is no doubt in my mind that my old best friend is and always will be my soul mate. There was something there from the second we met each other, like the universe had drawn us together. It’s a shame that none of us were brave enough to tell the other how we truly felt.

Moral of the story, don’t be afraid to tell people how you truly feel. Especially when it comes to love. Fear and apprehension can permanently change your future, some things in life are once in a life time opportunities and not being brave enough to capitalise on them can mean you miss some really amazing paths in life.

I hope you told him, you really had nothing to lose by not doing so apart from maybe a small blow to your ego if he didn’t fell the same.

Be me
Expert at skateboarding
Go to mont blanc to test my skills
Fall of a STEEP hill
Break my neck
Survive
Call for help while hearing a calming song out of thin air
Nobody answers
Die
Somehow end up back on top of mont blanc

This song makes me cry over the people i've neglected, those i've left behind, but it gives me hope. Hope knowing that for every person i've hurt or put down, i'll lift a million more up. Emma, I'm sorry. Sammi, you deserved better. This is a place where i feel at home.

Am glad you found it

This isn't just a song played on the radio from time to time. It's not that one song you remember, then forget about. This is art. So many emotions and possibilities are going through this song. This is true music. This is true art.
