About this song
- This gist of this song is about an abusive relationship, and how truly escaping from it feels impossible. Will uses the idea of a home as the relationship, mentioning how it is almost falling apart, and how neither can “go home” as they live together. They could go to bed, but as the chorus mentions, both lovers get in physical fights, almost split, but then go to sleep and wake up late at the end of the day. He goes on to even mention the idea of leaving the house together that is falling apart, showing how him and his lover never separated even when the house was clearly falling apart. It could also mean “go out tonight” as going out to eat, as the home is either too poor or too broken to make meals. He also mentions “If home is where I go to die”, which goes against the idea of a home being a safe place. This is not a healthy lifestyle, and Will touches on the fear of never changing, or never leaving the home in the post-chorus. Bit and pieces like the piano in Verse 1 are mentioned, meaning part of each lover that was moved into the home, or rather the relationship Whether this is all a large metaphor could be looked into deeper, but it could also be in the literal sense. .
