Lyrics
She's into the paranormal
Expressing a fascination with paranormal activities
Black cats
Referring to superstitions and bad omens associated with black cats
And the occult
Indicating an interest in mystical and supernatural practices
Her parents put her in an institution
Her parents committed her to a mental institution
To control her mind
Suggesting an attempt to control or suppress her thoughts
They never listened, they never cared
Highlighting the lack of attention and care from her parents
When they did, they got scared
When they did pay attention, it caused fear
I hope I will talk to her again
Expressing a desire to communicate with her beyond the physical realm
From the beyond
Anticipating a connection with her from the afterlife
Every night, I lie and wait, to be taken away
Yearning for an experience of being taken away each night
Where your ghost is real
Describing a place or state where the presence of her ghost is tangible and real
Every night, I lie and wait, to be taken away
Continuing the anticipation of a nightly departure to where her ghost exists
Where your ghost is real
Reiterating the reality of her ghost and the desire to be with it
Down by her old house
Setting the scene near her previous residence
She knows I've come for her
Confirming her awareness of the narrator's presence and purpose
She'll dream of nothing
Suggesting a lack of meaningful dreams or aspirations for her
When cold hands demand the words of love (Whoa)
Describing a moment when affection or love is demanded by supernatural forces
Every night, I lie and wait, to be taken away
Repeating the desire for a nightly departure to where her ghost is real
Where your ghost is real
Reaffirming the existence of a tangible ghostly realm
Every night, I lie and wait, to be taken away
Continuing the anticipation of being taken away to where her ghost exists
Where your ghost is real
Reiterating the reality of her ghost and the longing to be there
Every night, I lie and wait, to be taken away
Expressing the repetitive nature of the nightly anticipation
Where your ghost is real
Reiterating the desire for a departure to where her ghost is real
Every night, I lie and wait, to be taken away
Continuing the anticipation of being taken away each night
Where your ghost is real
Reaffirming the reality of her ghost and the yearning to be there
Ghost is real
Emphasizing the tangible and real existence of her ghost
Ghost
Concluding with a direct reference to the presence of a ghost
