None of this has changed, we are both the same.
Addicted to the one that left you, we can't forget you.
We colonized in war, predicting many more.
Addicted to the hand that fed you, you can't remember.
Your colour. I wonder...
The more trouble that we get in,
The more fun if we don't get caught up in it.
Prefabricate that skin!
Help me find out, if this is all predictable.
Or is your troubled fate, relentless in its ways, destroying all your days?
(These words coincide!!! Self-taught Suicide!!!)

diggin the guitar at the end.
"the color, wonder" is an obvious reference to both "house" being in blue and the red minotour-related phrases being red. (at least, I think thats why their red)
I think most of you are going a little too deep though. It seems to me like he's just describing the frantic/crazy/messy style of the book rather than analyzing it at all.
Maybe she liked this book house of leaves. And if thomas erak is anything like me he was just trying to make a girl happy by writing a song for her... but in the end it doesnt matter. so it ends up being angsty
"You Got a Deathwish Johnny Truant?" is a quote from the book where in a footnote, one of the characters warns Johnny that the guy he's almost about to fight would probably kill him.
The Hol[ ]y Tape is a reference to a part in the book where some video tapes are being talked about, the one of significance in that part of the book the character Holloway's Tape. Parts are written to be "missing" so to fill the gap, [ ]'s are put in the space.
For the lyrics:
"None of this has changed, we are both the same"
In the book, Holloway and his team ventures down the gigantic staircase "inside" the house and is trying to find literally anything. In this area of the house that has basically broken laws of physics, everything is a matte black. The team are using high-powered flashlights to get places. This line may be a reference to what Holloway is thinking, that he, nor the surroundings haven't changed.
(I don't see correspondence in the lines I'm skipping.)
Your colour, I wonder...
Could be referencing the thought of what the black walls are and if they have any significance other than the lack of light.
The more trouble that we get in,
The more fun if we don't get caught up in it.
May be a reference to Holloway wanting to venture into the maze of black halls and rooms, seeing it as fun and maybe a chance to make history.
Help me find out, if this is all predictable.
Or is your troubled fate, relentless in its ways, destroying all your days?
This could be easily referencing the maze structure of their surroundings, and if it predictable where they're going. For the next part, maybe suggesting they're thinking from the maze's POV. Seeing how they think there may be a monster down in the maze somewhere, and how the maze seemingly reacts to Tom, another character, this could be true. Destroying all your days may be a reference to them wasting their days down there, or the "monster" dying.
(Self-taught Suicide!)
Maybe be a reference in Holloway going nuts, especially near the end of the tape, going crazy to the point of death.
My take on it after reading the book.
One hell of a book by the way.
but i dont care, this song is amazing anyway
As for this song relateing to the book I doubt it does as TFOT said themselves in an interview their song titles are from inside jokes or just stuff that interested them this isn't the first book they used either they tend to just use things that sound cool to them or interest them I personally believe this song has no relation to the book at all and they plainly picked the title because they liked it and nothing more.
..my favorite book.
