The screams all sound the same

A song has been running through my head for days. I thought the lyrics were “the dreams all sound the same” … but I Googled it and it’s actually “the screams all sound the same” … which is a little disturbing.

The song is called “Little Talks” by a band called Of Monsters And Men. I did know know either of those facts before I Googled the lyrics so it’s weird that the song – albeit with the wrong lyrics – is stuck in my head.

The words go like this …

I don’t like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I’ll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep
It’s keeping me awake
It’s the house telling you to close your eyes
And some days I can’t even dress myself
It’s killing me to see you this way

‘Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

There’s an old voice in my head
That’s holding me back
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young
And full of life and full of love
Some days I don’t know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear

‘Cause though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

Don’t listen to a word I say
(Hey)
The screams all sound the same
(Hey)

And though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

You’re gone, gone, gone away
I watched you disappear
All that’s left is a ghost of you
Now we’re torn, torn, torn apart
There’s nothing we can do
Just let me go, we’ll meet again soon

Now wait, wait, wait for me, please hang around
I’ll see you when I fall asleep

Don’t listen to a word I say
(Hey)
The screams all sound the same
(Hey)

Though the truth may vary
This ship will carry our bodies safe to shore

What do you think it means? And why do I keep singing it?

I was given good news yesterday that I will share with you soon. I also took the kids out for dinner.

Oddly, despite the good news and the nice dinner, I felt a bit flat.

Like the song, I don’t know what it means.

I think it’s probably because I am a bit burnt out by work, health issues, endless rain and single parenting.

I will stop soon, take a breath, float in the sea and get my balance back.

I fear I’ve lost my blogging mojo too, leaving HouseGoesHome a little flat.

It’s the 11th anniversary of HouseGoesHome this month. Blimey!

I’m not sure how many of us “mummy bloggers” are still out there.

HouseGoesHome was read by people all around the world yesterday, there were visitors from the United States, Italy, Germany, Hong Kong, the UK, Canada, China, Croatia and India.

I have posted 3672 times over the last 11 years, with my words receiving more than 1.3 million views.

I have no idea why I keep doing it, it’s simply become part of who I am.

Have a good weekend. I will catch you on Monday.

Song of the day: Of Monsters And Men “Little Talks” … a bloody good song, whatever it’s about …
