The song seems to be primarily centered on a theme of existential hopelessness; that life, no matter how hard a person tries, will give nothing but loss and failure.
This fits in with the song’s title, a reference to the gambling adage: “the house always wins”, meaning that no matter how much a per...
The House Wins Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Fingers blistered from the nightly scratching at the window
Which won't open far enough to let air in
[Refrain]
The house wins
Oh, the house always wins
[Verse 2]
Feral cats are screaming at the clouds beneath the window
With the crack so small that nothing gets within
[Refrain]
The house wins
Oh, the house always wins
[Chorus]
You don't have to be alone to be lonely
You might as well give in
[Verse 3]
Telephones are howling at the cats out in the alley
And the window offers nothing in the din
[Refrain]
The house wins
Oh, the house always wins
[Verse 4]
Clouds uncage the car alarms to chase the cats and telephones
Fingers rake and rasp away their skin
[Refrain]
The house wins
Oh, the house always wins
[Chorus]
You don't have to be alone to be lonely
You might as well give in
Yeah, you don't have to be alone to be lonely
You might as well give in
[Verse 5]
Ice age upon catastrophic ice age of selection
And only one result has trickled in
[Refrain]
The house wins
Oh, the house always wins
[Verse 6]
If evil were a lesser breed than justice after all these years
The righteous would have freed the world of sin
[Refrain]
The house wins
Oh, the house always wins
[Chorus]
You don't have to be alone to be lonely
You might as well give in
You don't have to be alone to be lonely
You might as well give in
[Outro]
(You don't have to be alone)
You don't have to be sick to be dying
You might as well give in
(You don't have to be alone)
You don't have to have lost to be lost
Oh, give in
You don't have to be alone to be lonely
You might as well give in
