Ghosts
Echoes of Lost Love: Cristina Hawke's Haunting Reflections in 'Ghosts'
Lyrics
I lost the life I never had
I feel a sense of loss for a life that I never actually experienced.
Porcelain collecting cracks
Metaphorically, my fragile self is accumulating emotional wounds.
I'm counting hours, holding back
I am enduring time while restraining my emotions.
I'm watching colors turn to black
Observing vibrant aspects of life turning bleak or negative.
It was you
Referring to a specific person or a representation of a lost connection.
Or the loss of you
Questioning if the pain is due to the person or the absence of that person.
Now I can't move
Feeling emotionally paralyzed, unable to take action.
No I can't move
Emphasizing the sense of emotional stagnation and inability to progress.
I'm not the kind
Expressing a lack of capability or inclination to reverse time.
That can turn back time
Acknowledging an inability to undo past events.
But I've been trying
Despite limitations, actively attempting to change or rectify the past.
I'm seeing
Perceiving or recognizing something significant.
I'm seeing ghosts
Experiencing the presence or haunting memories of the past.
I needed you the most
Expressing a deep need for the person or thing that is now lost.
You painted such a pretty scene
Describing a beautifully depicted scenario or relationship.
Looked just like the real thing
Highlighting a deceptive resemblance to reality, possibly indicating betrayal or disappointment.
We talked about the shit that hurts
Discussing painful topics or experiences shared with the person.
I never thought you'd make it worse
Unexpectedly, the person worsened the shared difficult experiences.
It was you
Reiterating the impact of the person or the void left by their absence.
Or the loss of you
Reflecting on the emotional paralysis caused by the person or their loss.
Now I can't move
Reaffirming the inability to move forward emotionally.
No I can't move
Reiterating the feeling of being emotionally stuck or restrained.
I'm not the kind
Emphasizing the incapacity to reverse the effects of time.
That can turn back time
Acknowledging the ongoing effort to change or heal despite limitations.
But I've been trying
Persistently attempting to alter the course of past events.
I'm seeing
Continuing to experience the haunting memories or presence of the past.
I'm seeing ghosts
Expressing the profound need for the lost person or element.
I needed you the most
Reiterating the intensity of the need for the lost connection.
We're running out of time
Feeling the pressure of limited time to reconsider or change decisions.
To change my mind
Time is running out to alter my perspective or decisions.
To change my mind
The urgency to rethink or change my mindset is emphasized.
