Lyrics
Life itself breaks my heart
Life itself is emotionally painful.
It makes me feel as if the light inside me
Feeling like the inner light is fading away.
Has burned out just in time
Sense of timing, as if the light has dimmed just in time.
Life itself breaks my heart
Repetition of the emotional pain caused by life.
It makes me feel as if the light inside me
Continuation of the fading inner light sentiment.
Has burned out just in time
Repeated feeling of the inner light dimming in sync with life's challenges.
For me to want to put myself to sleep
Expressing a desire to escape or avoid life's difficulties through sleep.
As this loud sound hits my ears
Reference to a loud, disturbing sound impacting the speaker.
And I succumb to one of my oldest fears
Succumbing to an old fear triggered by the sound.
I became a phantom
Metaphorically becoming a ghost or invisible presence.
At my own apartment
Being a phantom within one's own living space.
We laughed about a hundred times
Recalling numerous shared laughter moments.
Some had say we crossed lines
Suggestion of crossing boundaries in the relationship.
And maybe we'd be better if we lied
Contemplating whether lying would improve the situation.
There's no way that we could be
Expressing doubt about the possibility of being together.
In this place with no light, with no fire
Describing a place devoid of positivity, light, and warmth.
With no friends in my (your what?)
Uncertainty about the presence of friends.
"Stop the phone, put it down, and make up your damn mind"
Encouragement to stop avoiding decisions and commitments.
"Don't try to face all these men, all by yourself"
Advising against facing challenges alone.
I became a phantom
Reiteration of becoming a ghost within one's living space.
At my own apartment
Continued sense of being a phantom in one's own home.
I will haunt my roomates
Expressing a desire to affect roommates as a ghostly presence.
Until they know it's me
Promising to haunt roommates until they recognize the presence.
I became a phantom
Reiteration of becoming a phantom within one's living space.
At my own apartment
Continued sense of being a ghost in one's own apartment.
I will haunt my roomates
Reaffirming the intention to haunt roommates until acknowledged.
Until they know it's me
Emphasizing the persistence of the ghostly presence until recognized.
