Lyric discussion by vlcmaap 

i think this song is about neglected or abused kids:

" It's so cold in this house Open mouth swallowing us The children staying home from shool Will not stop crying "

talking about how the kids are living in an unfavorable way. cold house, they won't stop crying.

" And I know that you're busy too I know that you care You got your finger on the pulse You got your eyes everywhere And it hurts all the time when you don't return my calls And you haven't got the time to remember how it was It's so cold in this house It's so cold in this house "

this verse seems like the kids are telling the parents how they are being neglected.

" I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't sleep, I can't dream An aversion to light Got a fear of the ocean "

the kids are restless over the situation. they dont want to flee either since they are scared that their parents will find them and things will be worse.

" It's so cold in this house Come and show me how it was "

come and show us how shit used to be / it was supposed to be.

" We've got crosses on our eyes Been walking into the walls again We've got crosses on our eyes Been walking into the furniture We've got crosses on our eyes For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse We've got crosses on our eyes We've been walking into the furniture "

they have crosses on their eyes. they have been praying in other words...focused on prayer.

i'm stoned so this might not make a whole lot of sense but this is what i think its generally about.

An error occured.
