- Antarctica LyricsFather, we fled your house of grey.
We ran from home to seek a place where our bodies would never grow.
Dreamer, child, be cautious of this world.
She has an appetite for boys and girls and she’s hungry for your soul.
Little boys with dreams of paper planes were never meant to scrape the sky.
Keep your feet on the ground kid, only birds were meant to fly.
Keep your head from the clouds kid, keep your wings,
Always keep them by your side.
Before you fly you’ll fall, before you walk you’ll crawl.
You’ve no need to stitch your shadow to your heels.
No, not this time.
Son you’ll walk with no whisper, no sound.
Only the feet of the heavy hearted are held to the ground.
You’ve no need to draw the curtains son, throw them wide.
Cross the borders between the never and the night.
Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on ‘til morning,
Past the second star to the right.
We’ll be the smoke curling on the still.
The airship captains; we wait for sun to brush the hills.
Son, I share your windward dreams,
To soar from this little town of shacked up windows and swinging doors.
The rafters creak and the floorboards groan
While the shadows dance to the tapping of my toes.
There’s nothing left for us but altitude.
We’ll be the kings of the air.
Stolen, by the wind that turns the leaves to razors.
Holding just a string, our twine and our paper lost to the breeze.
We ran from home to seek a place where our bodies would never grow.
Dreamer, child, be cautious of this world.
She has an appetite for boys and girls and she’s hungry for your soul.
Little boys with dreams of paper planes were never meant to scrape the sky.
Keep your feet on the ground kid, only birds were meant to fly.
Keep your head from the clouds kid, keep your wings,
Always keep them by your side.
Before you fly you’ll fall, before you walk you’ll crawl.
You’ve no need to stitch your shadow to your heels.
No, not this time.
Son you’ll walk with no whisper, no sound.
Only the feet of the heavy hearted are held to the ground.
You’ve no need to draw the curtains son, throw them wide.
Find the twinkle in your smile, chase it on ‘til morning,
Past the second star to the right.
We’ll be the smoke curling on the still.
The airship captains; we wait for sun to brush the hills.
Son, I share your windward dreams,
To soar from this little town of shacked up windows and swinging doors.
The rafters creak and the floorboards groan
While the shadows dance to the tapping of my toes.
There’s nothing left for us but altitude.
We’ll be the kings of the air.
Stolen, by the wind that turns the leaves to razors.
Holding just a string, our twine and our paper lost to the breeze.

✔️
When it comes to the meaning of the lyrics, Hands Like Houses’ 'Antarctica' expresses warning and strength to a dreamer, suggesting the latter to be unswerving and have his dreams nearby. The song indirectly expresses that people should not get carried away with their desires and thus, be at the same time, warned of the difficulties in the way of their success—great persistence is needed to realize one's dreams even when the going gets tough. The Antarctica lyrics talk mostly of light, freedom, musing, hope and empowerment as well as the significance of embracing one's own dreams and measures to overcome challenges. The piece draws a parallel between reality and dreams and cautions the listener about the difficulty of escaping from the harshness of real life. The lyrics contain themes of caution and the challenges of growing up which may not be suitable for very young kids, though. The song doesn't state any explicit references to violence, sex or drug use but the metaphorical language along with the idea of a world that can be difficult and stern may give rise to parental guidance.
