Ghost
Echoes of Solitude: Chris Carroll's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
Sometimes I long to hear
Sometimes there is a yearning to hear
The sound of your voice in my ear
Desiring the sound of a specific voice close to the ear
I close my eyes up
Eyes closed, immersed in contemplation
I sit in silence
Sitting in silence, reflective state
When I feel what isn’t really there
Experiencing emotions or sensations that aren't tangible
Sometimes I want to disappear
At times, a desire to withdraw or vanish
When the visions in my mind
When vivid mental images become clear
Cut crystal clear
Crystal-clear visions in the mind
I close my eyes up
Eyes closed again, returning to a state of introspection
I sit in silence
Remaining in silence, contemplating
When I see what isn’t really there
Perceiving things that are not truly present
You’re a ghost
Referring to someone as a ghost
You’re a ghost
Reiterating the presence of this "ghost"
You float
Describing the ghost as floating
You float
Emphasizing the ethereal nature of the ghost
In my mind and my heart
The ghost resides in the singer's thoughts and emotions
In the dark
Especially present in the darkness
You’re a ghost
Reiterating the ghostly nature of the person
I’m alone
Expressing a sense of loneliness
I’m alone
Reiterating the feeling of being alone
Too many times
Recalling numerous instances of hearing someone's approach
Heard your footsteps down the hall
A moment of surprise or disbelief
Double take
Observing a shadow on the wall resembling the person
Saw your silhouette on the wall
Eyes open, back to silence
Open my eyes up
Engaging in make-believe, imagining things that are not real
I sit in silence
Continuing in a state of silence
I make believe
Creating a fictional reality
What isn’t there at all
Imagining things that do not actually exist
I pay no mind to the time
Ignoring the passage of time
Cuz the clocks behind
Aware that time has passed
I should’ve seen the signs
Realization of missed signs or hints
Read between the lines
The need to understand underlying meanings
I’m not the kind
Not inclined to go back in time
To press rewind
Averse to revisiting the past
I sit and stare
Fixed gaze, observing a collapse
And watch your house of cards
Witnessing the downfall of a constructed facade
Fall
The ghost is revealed or exposed
You’re a ghost
Reiteration of the ghostly presence
You’re a ghost
Confirming the ethereal nature of the person
You float
Describing the ghost as floating once again
You float
Reemphasizing the floating quality of the ghost
In my mind and my heart
The ghost resides in both the singer's mind and heart, especially in the dark
In the dark
Highlighting the ghostly presence in moments of darkness
You’re a ghost
Reiteration of the person being a ghost
I’m alone
Restating the sense of being alone due to the ghostly presence
You’re a ghost
Final confirmation of the person being a ghost
