Hazel chandeliers hanging over me
(Home)
If these walls could talk, they′d tell me to leave
(Home)
In this
In this house of cards, you're playing with my heart
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
I′m tired, broken, I'm abused
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
I'm tired, drained, I′ve been used
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
Take me home (Home)
So I can rest (Home)
Where you can mourn (Home)
Our final test (Home)
Take me home (Home)
So I can rest (Home)
Where you can mourn (Home)
Our final test (Home)
Now that you know it all, where do I begin?
Now that you know, it′s the beginning of the end
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
I'm tired, broken, I′m abused
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
Oh, I (Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
You're tired, drained, I′ve been used
(Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I)
Take me home (Home)
So I can rest (Home)
Where you can mourn (Home)
Our final test (Home)
Take me home (Home)
So I can rest (Home)
Where you can mourn (Home)

The song "Hazel Chandeliers" by rum.gold is an emotional and captivating track that explores the emotions of being trapped in a toxic relationship. The repetition of the word "home" throughout the song gives the impression of someone who is longing for a safe place to go, a place where they can rest and escape the pain of their current situation. The "Hazel chandeliers hanging over me" represent the beautiful and delicate things that are often a part of our lives, but that can be easily tainted or destroyed by those who we have given too much power over our hearts. This sets up the imagery of a home that is both beautiful and fragile, but also dangerous and oppressive.
The line "If these walls could talk, they'd tell me to leave" speaks to the sense of entrapment that the singer is feeling. They are aware of the danger they are in, that the very walls around them are warning them to leave before things get worse, yet they feel powerless to do so. The metaphor of the "house of cards" adds to this feeling of instability, that everything in their life is built on a fragile foundation and could come crashing down at any moment.
The chorus, which repeats the lines "Take me home so I can rest, where you can mourn our final test" embodies the idea that the only way to escape this toxic relationship is to go home. However, the singer seems to be aware that their partner is not going to come with them, and that the end is near. The final four lines, "Now that you know it all, where do I begin? Now that you know, it's the beginning of the end" serve as a clear sign that the relationship has come to its natural end, with the realization that there is nothing left to say or do.
