Hands Like Houses - Don't Look Now, I'm Being Followed. Act Normal Lyrics






Is this the edge of the world?
We chased the horizon down 'til it hung beneath our feet
Now I'm drifting blind
All I know is we can't move closer

And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

We followed far, as far as this machinery takes us
To some imaginary place where the compass shifts
And our lips drift to our cheeks
Is this the edge of the world?
All I know is we can't move closer

And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

Searching for some apparent place
Where floated needles decide the way
I'd dig in my heels but I might crack the ice
Give me some solid ground

The frost is sinking in
In my cheeks, in my chest, in my fingertips
Desperation, we name every cape beyond the last
Frozen senseless, every day is a winter solstice
The view's a wonder, but I can't take it in
(Is this the edge of the world?)

And I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

Sun, make canvas of coastlines, so I know where I stand
Make canvas of coastlines, so I know where I stand
Sun, make canvas of coastlines, so I know where I stand
Make canvas of coastlines

I've never seen the lights of the north
The constellations are so unfamiliar

So unfamiliar
So unfamiliar
So unfamiliar
So unfamiliar

  1. S.... J....

    The whole album is a story. We are all groundwellers once you flee the house of grey!!!!!!!!

  2. E.... G....

    I'm serious thinking about buying the whole album, this and unimagine.

  3. k.... ....

    Oh man the nostalgia

  4. G.... ....

    This song is about the Arctic circle (land beyond the ice) but if you are aware of Antarctica than you would know how off limits it is to go there. . .but WHY? hmm.

    G.... ....

    Grouhauluss interesting

  5. A.... M....

    Okay clearly I made I mistake all those years ago when I made my HLH favs playlist. This should be on it for sure

    A.... M....

    Adam McCann oh yeah this is the 1st track I heard of theirs and it’s still a banger

  6. P.... A....

    Really Love This Song! One of many Favorites!

  7. F.... M....

    A classic <3

  8. r.... ....

    Classic classic classic

  9. j.... O....

    There just so good live...

  10. A.... O....

    I'm torn between this song and Lion Skin, I'm not sure which is my favorite

    A.... O....

    Apathy Orchard 2 of their best

  11. P.... ....

    dont look now im being envied

  12. p.... ....

    0:52 - 1:05
    I fancy myself as a singer; this part is so fucking cool.
    The timing on the steps in the vocal run are sooooo fucking legit.
    I try to sing it an octave lower and i can't help but smile every time i do it because it's so hard to find really insanely original stuff like this to sing along with.
    the vocalist for this band is really really rly good

    p.... ....

    poisenbery respect

  13. d.... p....

    have that "anime opening" feel to it in a good way

  14. N.... A....

    FINALLY SEEING THEM AFTER 6 YEARS IN NOVEMBER, CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW FUCKING EXCITED I AM PLEASE PLAY GROUND DWELLER

  15. I.... ....

    2018? =)

  16. F.... ....

    Anyone else notice “shifts” and “drifts” is incorrect in the lyric description?

  17. D.... R....

    Their drummer is so umder appreciated

  18. A.... A....

    Brasil 💕💕💕

  19. H.... ....

    This songs about the flat stationary earth we live on, antarctica is the edge.

  20. M.... ....

    If any new artist are wondering how to make a powerful impact with your first full length.... The blue prints are hidden inside Ground Dweller.

  21. C.... L....

    Very beautiful song.

  22. T.... E....

    Been a few years now and I'm still listening to this album. They've become too heavy now and I really like it. But this album made me fall in love with them.

    T.... E....

    Right? They still are HLH but this album is PERFECT! Made them my favorite band, too bad that i don't see them coming back to this style.

  23. A.... A....

    This song is too good to not be at 1M views LET'S GET IT!!!!

  24. T.... B....

    Am i the only one getting some "ONE OK ROCK" vibes here ?

  25. L.... a....

    *OPENING RIFF OCCURS, FALLS OFF CHAIR*

  26. S.... K....

    I know there's been a few comments about Howl's Moving Castle but has anyone thought about Sinbad? The edge of the world fits it perfectly and the lights of north make sense with when Eris turned their entire area into snow and ice.

  27. c.... e....

    I haven't heard this song in ages yet I can still recall the lyrics. That's how you know you never forgot about it

  28. R.... S....

    dgd-like

    R.... S....

    +Dead “Vinesauce” Inside I never said this was dgd.. I said it was dgd-like... as it the sound is reminiscent of dgd, as in you can tell what influences this band uses... the band's name is only clearly spelled in the title and description Idk what kind of dumb you have to be to misread or misinterpret my comment but clearly everyone else understood what I meant cuz yours is the only dumb reply. 😒

    R.... S....

    Riiiiiight... feel free to fuck off idiot

    R.... S....

    +Dead “Vinesauce” Inside lol clearly everyone else understood my comment, yours was the only dumb reply... either way like I said, feel free to fuck off my comment... thanxbi

    R.... S....

    should delete your comments now lol

  29. w.... ....

    I miss being a teen..this song brings back so many memories

    w.... ....

    woeisangie never thought I'd miss it but here I am

    w.... ....

    You aren't alone.

  30. T.... ....

    This is like a hard rock Panic at the Disco

    T.... ....

    Exactly what I was thinking lol

  31. E.... C....

    Trying so hard to link the title of the song to the lyrics

  32. D.... ....

    Eh, kinda miss this sound now that the new album is so...minimalistic most of the time? This and Unimagine had more of a "fuller"/"bigger" sound to it. Like there was more going on and overall just mad great vibes.

    D.... ....

    I really agree. this album is so full of layers, their new stuff is so 2d in comparison. I probably would have never been a fan if it weren't for this album. It's amazing, the rest is pretty much just good.

    D.... ....

    Dwėsk Agreed. GD is one my favorite albums of all time! Miss those mystical Steampunky synths and trenton's soulful voice :(

  33. a.... o....

    this song has so much "Heartist" in it.. even his voice is similar at some point

  34. m.... d....

    I can't even say enough. people that follow people around on the comment section acting like a bad ass or bully. are the biggest joke I have ever witnessed.

  35. S.... P....

    sometimes i feel like this song was supposed to be "antartica"

    S.... P....

    +Sebastian Paredes same here

    S.... P....

    +Sebastian Paredes same here.

    S.... P....

    Crack the ice give me some solid ground lol I get it

    S.... P....

    I always picture the lyrics of this song as a travel to the north pole. LOL "I've never seen the lights of the north", "Crack the ice, give me some solid ground".

    S.... P....

    The whole album is about being stranded in antartica.

  36. F.... R....

    what is this Band genre?

    F.... R....

    +faisalrahmann38 i guess post hardcore

    F.... R....

    +Sebastian Paredes Thanks mate

  37. C.... H....

    Probably the best debut album in the last decade.

  38. B.... B....

    Going to see them tomorrow cx

  39. B.... M....

    does anyone else think the vocals sound like P!ATD ?

    B.... M....

    Pretty Much 😂

  40. D.... S....

    this song rips

  41. N.... ....

    Hands Like Houses is such an amazing band. Why can't more rock bands have more poetic lyrics like them?

  42. S.... B....

    I just realized this was uploaded on my birthday.. I LOVE THIS SONG EVEN MORE

  43. B.... B....

    My favorite HLH song

  44. B.... B....

    Do you panic! Do you may day parade?

  45. M.... A....

    It's just amazing how they can come up with these lyrics! O.O

  46. L.... ....

    the chorus gets me everytime, one my favorite off the album

  47. C.... H....

    Shout out to my amazing boyfriend who showed me this and found this. <3

  48. Q.... F....

    i usually listen to hardcore metal but i just love hands like houses

  49. J.... ....

    I'm not emo or goth or whatever the fuck people Identify themselves as but this Band and Outline in Color and ADTR and other metalcore bands are fucking life

    J.... ....

    @Justgirlythings who said anything about this band being emo in the first place? -___-

    J.... ....

    @Mythic xo no, I have unfortunately.. I just assumed the people commenting on this video had actual COMMON SENSE and weren't complete idiots..... smh

    J.... ....

    You must be new to the genre, also based on your name.

    You aren't specifically 'emo' 'goth' or 'scene' to like this music, music is for anyone and everyone, music had no specific labels on their followers.

    You've realized you've offended plenty out there. But I understand where you are coming from if someone dresses trendy and poppy you'd assume they like pop. You see someone dress edgy you'd assume rock.

    But look at Blood in the Dance Floor.

    I made the mistake of researching them... They appear to look metal they dress similar to BVB but in reality BOTDF is a shit band, they poorly represent rock, I'm not sure they are rock!?

    But yeah do some research because even the most normal looking kid can enjoy rock. Rock is not specifically built for emos and goths.

  50. A.... ....

    This song tho. 👍😍

  51. M.... ....

    Reminds me of I Am Abomination. No complaints here, two really great bands!!

  52. P.... ....

    What is the meaning of this song? 

  53. a.... j....

    not a fan at all. 
     just no need for hardcore criticism.  pce

  54. K.... L....

    Terrible mix damn

  55. j.... ....

    Cool song

  56. S.... K....

    This chorus hits me so hard. Its angelic. His voice with the guitar riff is quite amazinnggg

  57. a.... j....

    Shout out to myself for finding it myself

    a.... j....

    @andrew jones lmaooooo

    a.... j....

    +andrew jones yeah, same!

    a.... j....

    me too!!!!!!

    a.... j....

    Ye! Just a good old Hands Like Houses fan here!

  58. i.... r....

    Shout out to Pandora, by the way this is the only song i know by them lol

    i.... r....

    You should check out their other songs like:
    This Ain't No Place for Animals
    Starving in the Belly of a Whale
    A Clown and His Pipe

    i.... r....

    @***** listened to their albums in school. I trap myself in college that way lol. The third album is coming out sometime in summer of this year. CANT WAIT

    i.... r....

    @***** listened to their albums in school. I trap myself in college that way lol. The third album is coming out sometime in summer of this year. CANT WAIT

    i.... r....

    ikr they are underrated but they are great. they should have a bigger fanbase

  59. T.... w....

    I love this song SO much

  60. B.... L....

    All this song does for me now, is remind me of a break up in a relationship that I thought would save me from ever needing anyone else 😞😔

    B.... L....

    @***** that relationship ended 10 months ago, and I still can't get over her and it still ruins some of my favorite songs because they remind me of her 😔

  61. s.... b....

    WARPED 2015 HELL YEAH

    s.... b....

    suga. bb i saw trenton from like a mile away behind their tent as they were closing it up and me and my gf ran up and got hugs and pictures with him, he was so nice and his accent was so great

  62. M.... B....

    Shout out to pandora for showing this awesome song

    M.... B....

    Same, damn good song and probably one of my favorites... If you like heavier music then you should also check out Ice Nine Kills, they do a really, really good cover of Adele's Someone Like You.

  63. F.... S....

    Thank you pandora!!! Now I listen to this daily!

  64. C.... D....

    I remembering the songs off this album sounding the same could never remember what sing was what

  65. D.... O....

    My fav song by them

  70. L.... N....

    I can't stop hitting the repeat button! I have one word for this band..... SPECTACULAR!

  71. P.... E....

    Makes me go back to my roots every time I hear this song

  72. B.... ....

    Can someone explain the lyrics please... I'm very curious what they mean

    B.... ....

    leaving where you are and going anywhere because of how amazing it all is?

    B.... ....

    Not 100% sure but it may be due to their recording and travels in North America pre signing with Rise and how culture shock and traveling to new and exotic places, while scary and hard to deal with at times is an exciting adventure, but remaining grounded through it all while growing as people is what they strive for. 

    B.... ....

    It's about getting to a certain place, phisicaly or mentally that you've never been before.

    B.... ....

    doesn't really matter what it means to me. just matters what it means to you

    B.... ....

    I feel like it talks about not losing touch with who you are, no matter where you are, or whoever you're with 

  73. D.... S....

    Rise Records never fails me

    D.... S....

    Rise is ok and has a handful of great bands, but HLH ? They never fail me. Them and Circa Survive are my two favorite bands

    D.... S....

    @Lildrummerboy714 and Fire From the Gods
