How Do You Feel Now started out in Daniel’s parent’s house, at a time where he felt like everybody else was successful. He never saw himself still being dependent at such an age. Nice House represents these feelings of expectation vs reality that are reflected throughout the album.
[Verse 1]
There's a strange grown man in a creepy coat
In the bathroom mirror, knock me down on the floor
I don't know him, I don't know him
[Verse 2]
There's an aging man with a narrow face
He's been following me around for days
I don't know him, I don't know him
[Pre-Chorus]
My, the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating
Oh, my the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating
[Chorus 1]
I thought I'd have a nice house, to blow my brains out
Or a fast car, to run from danger
My own place, where I could get away
[Verse 3]
There's a strange grown man with a few grey hairs
In my own twin bed, I don't think he belongs there
No, I don't
[Pre-Chorus]
My, the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating
Oh, my the walls kept beating, oh, the days repeating
[Chorus 1]
I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away
I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away
[Bridge]
Hey now, hey now, hey now
We go, away now, away now, away now
We can, escape now, escape now, escape now
We can, escape now, escape now, escape now
[Chorus 1]
I thought I'd have a nice house to blow my brains out
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away
I thought I'd have a good wife to kiss me goodnight
Or a fast car to run from danger
My own place where I could get away
