Track: Home Is A Fire

Lyrics
Sleep, sleep with the lights on
Shutter with shades drawn
There's too many windows
Noise, cars on the freeway
Tempting a clean break
There's nowhere left to go
Watching the room tweak
Through cracks in the concrete

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same

Home, home is a fire
A burning reminder
Of where we belong, oh
With walls, built up around us
The bricks make me nervous
They're only so strong, though
They're only so strong, though

Plates they will shift
Houses will shake
Fences will drift
We will awake
Only to find
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
Nothing's the same
As yesterday
As yesterday

Genius Lyrics
Death Cab for Cutie – Home Is a Fire
Sleep, sleep with the lights on / Shuttered with shades drawn / There's too many windows / Noise, cars on the freeway / Attempting a clean break / There's nowhere left to go
Death Cab for Cutie – Portable Television
Portable television, shrouded in snow / In a raggedy van on the side of the road / The night it had frozen through my little bones / So, you took me in your arms, you squeezed out
Death Cab for Cutie – Unobstructed Views
This song is about Ben’s love for his new wife, Zooey Deschanel. She filed for divorce on December 27, 2011, just seven months after this song was released.
Death Cab for Cutie – You Are a Tourist
This surprisingly joyful, optimistic song from Death Cab for Cutie is the fifth song of their equally optimistic 2011 album Codes and Keys. Ben Gibbard on the song: It’s weird
Death Cab for Cutie – Stay Young, Go Dancing
Life is sweet / In the belly of the beast, in the belly of the beast / And with her song in your heart / It can never bring you down, it can never bring you down / Lost in a maze
Death Cab for Cutie – Codes and Keys
We won't get far / Flying circles inside a jar / 'Cause the air we breathe / Is thinning with the words that we speak / That we speak / You and me / That we speak / You and me
Death Cab for Cutie – St. Peter's Cathedral
A song that questions the Catholic religion. Something Death Cab is often not caught doing. This is the 10th song on their 2011 album, Codes and Keys.
Death Cab for Cutie – Doors Unlocked and Open
[Verse 1] / Isolations, dotted lines / Seas of concrete with wild eyes / Streaking colors blur to one / Always moving, blinding sun, blinding sun / Coldest comfort, safety glass
Death Cab for Cutie – Some Boys
Some boys are filling, some boys are filling the hole / They're making the killing at the top of the billing / It's their role, and that's all that they know / But some boys don't
Death Cab for Cutie – Soul Meets Body
[Verse 1] / I want to live where soul meets body / And let the sun wrap its arms around me, and / Bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing / And feel, feel what it's like to be
Death Cab for Cutie – I Will Follow You into the Dark
Even on a concept album whose main theme is death, “I’ll Follow You Into The Dark” is a standout moving song about the transcendental power of love, even when that boundary is
Death Cab for Cutie – Monday Morning
An ode to melancholy; a love song about the early beginnings of love; a reference to Deschanel, whom he was with at the time, seems likely.
Death Cab for Cutie – Underneath the Sycamore
I believe this song is about one’s final resting place in a graveyard underneath a Sycamore. The narrator identifies with those around him whom have past, and how they spent their
