Hands Like Houses - The Sower Lyrics






I wade through the earth,
Sowing my own, bound up in discords
Spread in the stones,
Planting deep into ready fears.
Soak in these heavy rains,
Break from your chrysalis beneath the clay.
Though I left you behind,
I'm all the while, wanting, to make my way home.
All the while, watching, to see just how you've grown.

I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With other sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.

I am the horizon, the sinking sun,
I'm the buried, the believer, the tomorrow that will come.

I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With other sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.

I could ruin you.

Convict me of the devil in the details,
Of these crimes; oh so meticulous were we,
Of passion; I'll plead guilty.
I'll plead guilty to every taken chance.

I am tangled machinery, I am wreckage.
Distinguish the scars between;
The pleasure as you dragged me down,
Or the shards as they dragged you free.

I am the knotted anchors below the ground,
I'm the shadow that weighs you down.
I'm the ghost on your lips, the phantom's kiss,
I'll be the page of your book that's missing.

I'm the seeds among you, I am emerald blades
With other sides and deeper shades.
I'm the weeds among you, I am constriction.
I'm the tightness in your chest.
I could ruin you.

  1. G.... ....

    This song if I'm correct is simply about YOU! the real You! The voice in your head when you say a word without speaking it through your mouth. That voice you hear that says the word in your head is YOU

  2. A.... A....

    Brasil💞

  3. J.... C....

    You mean the first 13 seconds of a 4 minute song....

  4. C.... C....

  5. j.... t....

    HLH omg day saver

  6. G.... Z....

    This came on my pandora and thought it was pounce bounce by dgd...the intro sounds too ripped off but the rest of this song is solid.

    G.... Z....

    holy shit it fucking does!!!!

  7. O.... P....

    Completely ripping off DGD's "Pounce Bounce" Intro. "Pounce Bounce" came out 2011 and this song came out 2012. Smh.

    O.... P....

    You realize several several other songs have that intro right? Plenty of them came out before 2011.

    O.... P....

    It does sound extremely similar.. though you can't say for certain that they straight up copied them.

    O.... P....

    ɷɷ Youu Wont Belive Guyssss Howwww I Lost Fattt Fast In Justtt 3 Weekss Withh Thissss Weight Loss Diet Visittt : - https://t.co/kRGWW5S8Lu

    O.... P....

    b.... b....

    duDE WAT IS THE CONTEXT

    b.... b....

    She's a referee and I'm lethally
    overdosed on pumpkin pie. ;3

    b.... b....

    Yes the future is most delicious son, but the leaf changes forms continuum!

  12. T.... ....

    this is the first song i heard from them, loving their stuff

    T.... ....

    Same, I heard this one and fell in love so I had it on repeat, then moved onto listening to them on pandora, which played No Parallels, which completely blew my mind.

  13. A.... M....

    Took me two years to find out Watchmaker existed, and another year later i find this song....FML!!!!

  14. t.... ....

    The intro to this song is very similar to Dance Gavin Dance's Pounce Bounce

    t.... ....

    i though i was the only one who notice that!

  15. A.... ....

    are you okay with suicide?

    A.... ....

    @***** i was quoting lyrics from a dance gavin dance song called pounce bounce because the intro to this song sounds almost exactly like the intro to pounce bounce 

    A.... ....

    +Adrale4gotten omg I just noticed that

  16. R.... ....

    @ Jackie Mejia The lead singer, Trenton Woodley, says on Hands Like Houses' Tumblr. I'll quote it for you:

    "“The Sower” is about the responsibility that comes with being in love with someone—you’re accountable for two hearts, two minds and two people’s happiness. Music takes you away from home for long periods of time so it’s a lot to take on and something you can never take for granted. You become a part of someone else and it’s the most amazing thing in the world, but it doesn’t come easily. Musically this song was actually completed as an acoustic track before it became full band and I really like the way that influenced the flow of the song."

    R.... ....

    That makes sense. Especially when he says, "I could ruin you"

  17. J.... M....

    Can someone tell me what this song is about?

    J.... M....

    +Jackie Mejia its about me GOD i came back so many times in history hearing the words ive spoken a million times before through the light of another human being i know this is a bit late to respond but yes im real and yes this is just a time traveling pa-radon but ill show the world my power one day

  18. A.... R....

    The lead singer sounds like the guy fro Fall Out Boy

  19. I.... E....

    this band is still underrated :o should be on the top next to i the mighty, memphis may fire, and the others ...

  20. s.... ....

    Will I be able to buy this at their concert with sleeping with sirens?

  21. t.... h....

    Fav song

  22. s.... ....

    listen to their new album "Unimagine" It's incredibly good :)

  23. A.... R....

    Yuuuupp

  24. G.... H....

    They're good guys. Really good, check 'em out.

  25. D.... S....

    For fans of Hands Like Houses, please let us borrow your ears for our single - we promise you will not regret it ;)

  26. N.... A....

    I've listened to a lot of there songs and i'm a fan of clean vocals too, but i can't get into this. any recommendations? Not watchmaker; couldn't get into tht either

  27. s.... ....

    the beginning really doesnt fit into this song so beautiful.. i dont like how it sounds so misleading :\

  28. S.... E....

    It Really just doesnt The Challenger is way better

  29. S.... O....

    shouldn't be about who's better. Should be about who's great at what they do, which both bands are.

  30. E.... I....

    Can't wait for their next album! (:

  31. X.... ....

    The Hollow and Between the Lies were both good pieces indeed, but Ground Dweller kicks Challengers ass eveytime, sorry.

  32. i.... ....

    Did any also catch the similar begining? Dance Gavin Dance-pounce bounce

  33. M.... ....

    2:00 - 2:18 : dat TREOS influence

  34. x.... ....

    lol they should get all top clean vocalist and do a song together :)

    x.... ....

    xRECONCILEDX aha MATTY MULLINS?

  35. m.... c....

    You fail to be funny

  36. E.... S....

    I think that was the approach, to give that out of focus feel. But then again idk. But with the album cover being a creature walking through a barren desert and then a meadow its probably intentional.

  37. a.... g....

    I agree. Plus the instrumental portion of their songs seem to always over power the lyrics, which makes it hard to understand what the lead singer says. Might just be me but idk.

  38. P.... C....

    if this song was a turtle.... it would be one cool turtle

  39. T.... N....

    I am with you, i heard the intro and was like WHOA, then it just suddenly got really like slow and calmed down and i got a little dissapointed...still good song tho

  40. m.... ....

    hell yeah

  41. S.... ....

    justbought album on itunes, cant wait to listen to it now.

  42. B.... ....

    I listened to the songs a million times, saw them live (in the middle of the freaking US! That was PURE luck!), and only recently read the official lyrics to my favorite bands songs... I concur, they are a group of pure wordsmithery at work.

  43. c.... ....

    kinda wish more of the intro was in the song,
    but the hell am i saying?
    band is BEAST *w*

  44. D.... ....

    0:41 <3

  45. L.... ....

    Or so he says, 20$ he still pops here and there.

  46. c.... ....

    If you're listening to Hands Like Houses without paying attention to their lyrics you're doing it wrong. Fucking wordsmiths up in here.

  47. c.... ....

    these guys make me want to eat socks. and i'm a girl who likes her socks.

  48. C.... B....

    Correction he was a druggie. He went to rehab and got clean now he doesn't do any drugs.

  49. L.... R....

    This band is full of pedo-staches. Such hipsters

  50. O.... w....

    Yeah hard

  51. p.... ....

    Reminds me of Jonny Craig!

  52. D.... M....

    IF YOU GUYS WANNA SEE THIS SONG PLAYED LIVE ACOUSTIC THEN GO TO MY CHANNEL.
    IT WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY EVER PLAYED IN AMERICA <3

  53. B.... M....

    Fair enough

  54. s.... ....

    Aha, I thought so, so that's why I said "could".

  55. s.... ....

    yes, they mention god quite a bit, so I guess that could count as religous. But, MMF are still quite goodl.

  56. A.... ....

    Ground Dwellers & If You Were A Movie This Would Be Your Soundtrack are my two favorite this year. Both amazing bands. I love every song on both albums.

  57. T.... W....

    What about Jack White?

  58. P.... P....

    sleeping with sirens is ok, but their skill as musicians is nowhere close to hands like houses. they're also becoming quite the bmth phenomenon these days, with kelin and all.

  59. T.... W....

    What about Sleeping With Sirens' If you were a movie this would be your soundtrack.

  60. S.... L....

    This song sounds like Pounce Bounce by Dance Gavin Dance at the beginning.

  61. S.... ....

    just listened to this song like 10 times in a row, probably another 10 more :p

  62. B.... C....

    As much as it does sound like Pounce Bounce, this song was written a long time ago, you can find an acoustic video of it dating from before Downtown Battle Mountain 2 came out. The two bands just had similar ideas, both good.

  63. g.... s....

    Wow, the beginning IS DGD. But they're pretty good.

  64. J.... ....

    Who cares? Lmao

  65. J.... ....

    The intro is "pointless"? ...lmao.

  66. c.... ....

    Fuck the intro! its so pointless. Doesnt sound like the song at all and it was taken from DGD. All I ask is why? but then again why not

  67. z.... ....

    I'm sowing shut holes in my toque right now.
    Cheers to this!

  68. x.... ....

    such an amazing band dear god all there songs in this album are truly amazing

  69. K.... T....

    My sister Said that this band sucks and that all their songs sound alike, So I invented a Time machine, And I went back whre she said that and took the time machine blue prints and made it again, because I wasred 4 years of my life creating this machine. So I went Back to where my parents where making her And shot my dads Penis, Now Im about tobe desolved because of the space time continium and I will be erased of this planet. It was worth it though :D

  70. C.... ....

    that beginning riff may sound familiar to them DGD fans

  71. d.... ....

    just bought the whole album. OMG I LOVE IT!

  72. x.... ....

    IM GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!

  73. A.... H....

  74. m.... ....

    oh my god, i love this band! <3

  75. c.... ....

    How so?

  76. c.... ....

    The intro is nearly a carbon copy of 'Pounce Bounce'

  77. J.... ....

    Just bought the whole album.
    Pretty much one of the best decisions of my entire life.

  78. M.... L....

    Love this , but the acoustic version is wayyy better x3

  79. M.... b....

    I've been waiting for months. BUT THANK GOD. They didn't let me down.
    This album is fucking great. Hope they continue making good songs. Loooove these guys.

  80. V.... R....
