Tyler JosephAbout
“House of Gold” is a conversation between lead singer Tyler Joseph and his mother. She wonders if he will still care for her (both emotionally and physically) as she ages and is no longer able to care for him, which is portrayed in a rather grandiose fashion: she asks him to get her a house of gold....
House of Gold Lyrics
[Chorus]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease
[Verse 1]
Let's say we up and left this town
And turned our future upside down
We'll make pretend that you and me
Lived ever after happily
[Chorus]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease
[Verse 2]
And since we know that dreams are dead
And life turns plans up on their head
I will plan to be a bum
So I just might become someone
[Chorus]
She asked me, "Son, when I grow old
Will you buy me a house of gold?
And when your father turns to stone
Will you take care of me?"
I will make you queen of everything you see
I'll put you on the map, I'll cure you of disease
