House on a Hill

House on a Hill
(2014)
Album: Going to Hell

Songwriters Taylor Momsen and Ben Phillips wrote “House on a Hill” after hearing a lecture on the Vietnam War.

We are being taught to act and think in a certain way. Even though we think we are autonomous and we believe we know what is going on, we are being controlled by the government and societal norms. This leads to injustice: the poor get poorer, there’s racism, and people accept a lack of human rights.

Genius


“The world felt like it was in a chaotic place, and House On A Hill came from living in New York and feeding off the vibe and the energy of the people. There was a feeling of a great imbalance of power – you could almost sense that a revolt of some sort was going to happen. It felt like there was a weight on the world. The song is based on how people deal with inequality – and where that takes us in our lives.”

Somewhere in the end of all this hate
