Watchmaker, teach me the ways.
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds,
The methods to dull my ears to the sound.
If I were a watchmaker, I'd build suspension into the springs.
Hidden gears, secret faces.
Undiscovered hours to keep you in.
There'll be no back, there'll be no forth,
Just us, where we are.
Watchmaker, teach me the workings.
I want to learn the secrets and the sciences of seconds.
Teach me the seasons, the measure of these machines.
I'm haunted by mechanical sounds.
Damped, stolen and swallowed, relentless, counting down
In the bellies of old enemies. I'm plagued by the tick tock, tick tock,
But with vehemence I'll take to their faces and tear them away.
Come teach me the ways of the watchmaker,
We'll dull our ears to the sound.
There's tension in me, I'm wound up and bound to an endless release.
A robin imprisoned in a carved clock, I'm a tune locked in a music box
To a grave melody.
I can feel a nervousness in my fingers.
To spindles, they're wasting away.
And with every twitch, they're turning,
Passing by with my meaningless revolutions.
I gazed too deep, I leaned in too close.
Caught by the collar and dragged into a two-four waltz.
Drawn into steps unfamiliar to me,
I was passed like partners between turning teeth. - Hudba
1:22 sounds so cool with headphones
matty's part:
teach me how to rewind(rewind)
so i can relive
every second, minute, all i missed oh,
I'm always focused on the next thing
If only I could pause and reteach me how
*"If only i could pause and breathe, teach me how"
where's the time of this part?

holy crap, of all the times I listened to this song, I never knew that was the vocalist of Memphis May Fire. Wow. I feel dumb ._.
Anyone else thought it was "Teach me how to rewatch(rewatch)" ? Okay then..
Matty Mullins is one of the most underrated clean vocalists out there. No doubt.
This is the very first song I've heard by Hands Like Houses ♥
Ashley Valentine the first i heard was lion skin, if you haven't heard that one, i suggest you give it a listen. one of their best.
I have all of their songs on my phone.
+Reyna Valentine the first i heard was a Clown and his pipe ♥ but watchmaker is my favourite on ♥
My first was Introduced Species. My teacher played it for the class while we were doing our unit on invasive species.
My first was Lion Skin, but Antarctica was the one that got me hooked on their music 👌🏼
They have to make a music video for this. The concepts for this would be amazing.
Like... Some guy whose significant other died recently, and he's driven to finding the secret of time travel so he can go back in time and save her. (At the cost of his own life of course)
It would be perfect. Like a steampunk style universe. He's toiling away in some workshop, gears turning and levers shifting, he's barely sleeping, never eating, haunted by mechanical sounds, plagued by the tick tock tick tock of time running out as he HAS to save her, getting instructions and notes from a book (Of course with the Hands like Houses logo on it) that reveals not only the secrets of traveling back in time, but also how he can bring her back to life.
Of course he does. He started an young man, and has now grown old and decrepit by the time he's finished. He's able to go back in time, and to her bedside right when she passed. And with whatever contraption he created to save her, he uses. She wakes up, confused, and looks by her bed to find him dead, one hand clutching at the book, the other at whatever he used to being her back to life and GOD DAMMIT WHY DIDN'T I MAKE MOVIE PRODUCING MY MAJOR IN COLLEGE?!
spastickid218 I'm doing cinema major and I actually found ur script pretty interesting
You really think so?
I kind of based the idea off of the music video for Killswitch Engaged's "My Curse" music video. The whole "Steampunk clockwork" setting for time travel would work well in contrast to the modern day tech we have.
Like, all the technology that we have now, and we an't figure out time travel, but it turns out that it was already made all along. not to mention the imagery of building the machine itself, with all the gears and clockwork being made or moving to the music.
Krosis 831 - Rnaway4Life Thanks! I really want to get someone to do an independent video with that idea.
spastickid218 cool story bro, literally ;)
spastickid218 You really should have. You could do something that talent like that.
The guy on the far left in the band photo is tripping me out. He's almost adorable. That moustache is too metal for these guys. :)
The more I hear this song, the more I like it. At first it was one of my less liked songs, now it's one of my favorites. That's the mark of good music.
holy BALLS the opening sounds like a metroid prime game
Am I the only one who feels the music (not the vocals) sounds reminiscent of isles and glaciers a little?
This is absolutely perfect in every single way.
This guys voice is so versatile.
Took me almost two years to find out this song existed -_-
well , it took me 8
I wish more people would realize that.
His cleans on Between the Lies and The Hollow were so phenomenal.
Matty has such a short part in this, but he did a damn good job.
Mattys voice, with these lyrics, in this song, with this band, perfection at it's best.
Hands Like Houses was recording the first portion of Ground Dweller at Chango Studios at the same time Woe, Is Me was recording Numbers. Woe, Is Me used the lyric, "hands like houses", as a shout out to the band.
Great song and band. I thank them for allowing me to discover Memphis May Fire as well.
2:22 I am addicted to this part of the song.
Not sure why, but the more I listen to a song by Hands Like Houses, the more I like it.
Crazy to hear how much their sound has changed
They are known as an experimental rock group. Each album sounds different i love that about that them
Brad Williams so true
Exactly what i am thinking !
This is thier first album
@@daspper1926 well their newest album anon is pure garbage. Everything before that was top tier.
FINALLY SOMEONECLEARED THIS UP!! cause that verse was not in the lyrics above and I was like "????? where the hell is matty!"
this band is amazing. they have awesome guitar players and the drummer has some great beats. and i think i do not have to say anything about this lead singer. Finally someone in my vocal range!
Never heard of these guys before until my dad told me that they're good.
They're beast! I'm buying this album.
Ground Dweller is a timeless classic ❤️
looking back to 2012 when i first heard this band, i remembered this song and this album. nostalgia omg is it just me or were times much better then?
I love this song, my favorite from HLH :D
I been pondering over the many mistakes I have made and I'm just straight up bummed,
and this song describes how I feel, so well.
I want to be a watch maker so I can turn back time.
so addicted to this band.
Heck yeah the Lion Skin was a mind blower of awesomeness!
I was chocked when i saw that tyler carter wasn't in this song. The singer really sound like him! I love this band
Gave their souls away for this
i really love how the top comments have nothing to do with the actual song.. thats sad cuz this song is truly amazing and inspiring..

now i just need to see these guys live, cant wait for the rest of this year
Just saw these guys live not even 2 hours ago, they're so good!

I wish their new music was still as good but I can't listen to any of it I always come back to the first two albums
@@tomlacroix9795 been a die hard since this album and you're crazy to think if you don't think the newest stuff is good too. I love it all

Hands like houses is probably one of the best bands out there right now, GET THIS UP IN VIEWS, the world needs to hear these Australian gods.
chills down my spine, gosebumps across my skin and i just cant belive how fking amazing this IS!
He won't he lives for his fans, he would never do that. Watch a few of his interviews and you will see the passion he has for music.
Saw this band last night they were so good live!
Love Love Love
They are not disbanding. People weren't sure what they were doing when Brandon and Tanner left but they have now announced they have Craig and their old drummer (Derrick Frost) back in the band.
Matty's first phrase is epic
Cant Get Over How Awsome This Band Is
I saw them yesterday they were really good!
I hope these guys get the recognition they deserve
Love this song
anything that Matty Mullins touches is GOLD !
Amazing ♥
One of their best songs
God Matty's voice is so perfect
They kill it every time!
lol this band is PERFECT i love every one of their songs and its rare when its happening to me
Been playing the whole album on loop for almost 5 hours now.. haha..
It's wonderful to see such an awesome band with such a positive audience behind them ^^, theres no-one flaming them for being a certain 'genre' or 'trend' or any of that shit, just straight up beautifully written music, I love these guys
Matty sings "teach me how to rewind" at 43 seconds in and stops at 1:01 with Teachh me HOWWW
my deepest dream... thanks for show me this nice band ^^
It’s 2020 and I still listen to this
