The House Wins - Ok Go [Lyrics]

[faller006]

this song is talking about an asocial person who doesn't want to be asocial, he wants to open the window to let air in = he wants to open the door to let her in. but in the end he gives in and the house wins

[faller006]

this song describes me perfectly wtf!?!?!!?

[Outhol]

@Djistify, you pleased for suggestions, so can you do the video with lyrics to song "The Greatest Song I've Ever Heard" (by OK Go, too)?

[MegaHappyman1]

Also the way tey refer to it the house is nature their saying that nature wins and it has the final say in everything if it likes a spieces that spieces will evolve and survive while otherrs won't basically they take god out of the equation and replace him with nature and in this world any ways there are obvious flaws to thinking like that all ilisreated in the video response

@MegaHappyman1 Well I'm not christian, so what you're saying is slightly confusing. First of all, I am confused by you saying "bands try to put their world views in their songs so why should I listen?". I understand that your world views differ from the perspective of the writer, but not listening to their music because you have different beliefs should not be the reason you dislike them. Also, when they talk about evil; it's definitely evil, and it's definitely bad and wrong to do evil...

[magnoliamaggiemag]

@MegaHappyman1 (continued) ... things, but I don't think he's talking about the creationism vs. evolution topic, he trying to make a point, and that doing bad things is against the law or your morals, why do people keep doing bad things? Because it's the way we're made, be it either side of the argument. Maybe he is talking about natural selection. If he is, all you can do is understand where he's coming from. I think they're an amazing band, and I love how they can breed discussions like these.

[ridonkeykongulous]

The lyrics are actually suggesting that "you don't have to be alone to be lonely".

So basically it's saying that you're kind of 'trapped' in..how do i explain this... well, you're trapped in your mind pretty much. too shy to open up to anything. so you might as well give in.

I guess that sums it up.

[MegaHappyman1]

I used to be a fan until i took the time to think think about this song and the message it implies i suggest you do the same

[britcast]

@MegaHappyman1 I'm curious to know what you think it implies.

[magnoliamaggiemag]

@britcast I personally (after much thought) think its about the relationship between the government and the people. I have some other theories, such as "there's no place like home", but that doesn't make much sense with the lyrics, and it could mean a relationship where the girl always wins, yet the 1st idea makes the most sense.

"if evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years the righteous would have freed the world of sin"

Gotta love that line!

@magnoliamaggiemag lost my password so this is megahappyman1 now anyways,

as A reply to you unless you are christian you won't understand I didn't understand unttil abaou a week befoer I left that comment when my science teacher (I go to a christian school so he is also my bible teacher) played this song and asked us what we thought it implied and let me tell you its really the first time I ever thought about the lyrics in your favorite line

[deepinalaska]

@magnoliamaggiemag (continued) "if evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years the righteous would have freed the world of sin" if you think about that they're impling that evil isn't evil and basically they're saying that if evil were acctually bad and wrong it would have been eliminated by natural selection and basically saying that there is no god and now I don't listen to this band because in my opinion bands try to put their world views in their songs so y should I listen

[jonah557]

I love OkGo, and I really like this song. thanks for putting it up=)

[Djistify]

No prob. They are one of the greatest bands ever in my opinion. I just bought their CD on ebay :)
