Lyrics
Looking at all this strange behavior
Observing unusual actions and conduct
Well, I think I understand why this lonely ghost
Understanding the reason behind the presence of a lonely ghost
Is everything I wanted to know
The lonely ghost embodies everything the speaker desired to know
So I follow it to any hole
The speaker follows the lonely ghost wherever it leads
It says look at this, this is just a shadow
The lonely ghost reveals that what the speaker perceived as faith was actually empty
What you thought was faith, that was hollow
Highlighting that the speaker's belief in something substantial was misguided
Look at you, you've been chasing shadows
Pointing out the speaker's tendency to pursue illusory goals or ideals
That's why you wake up in two
Explaining the consequence of chasing shadows – waking up in a state of confusion or uncertainty
In two
Reiteration of the consequence mentioned in line 9
Holding on to all this strange behavior
Holding onto and grappling with peculiar and unconventional behaviors
Can't believe what I thought would save me
Expressing disbelief in what was believed to bring salvation
A pretty girl
Referring to a beautiful girl who was thought to be the solution
If I follow her around the world
The speaker contemplates following the pretty girl around the world
When I catch her, she'll say to me
Anticipating a conversation with the pretty girl upon catching up to her
Look at this, this is just a shadow
Repetition of the idea that what is seen is just a shadow, not something substantial
What you thought was faith, that was hollow
Reiterating that faith, previously believed in, is actually empty
Look at you, you've been chasing shadows
Pointing out the futility of chasing after illusions and shadows
That's why you wake up in two
Re-emphasizing the consequence of pursuing shadows – waking up in a state of confusion
In two
Reiteration of waking up in a state of confusion as a consequence
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Expressive sounds, possibly indicating a musical interlude or conclusion
