Lyrics
The Ghost of Kurt Cobain
The presence of Kurt Cobain's ghost is introduced.
I tried to be who you wanted to see
The singer attempted to conform to someone else's expectations.
That happy-go-lucky version of me
A facade of a cheerful version was presented to please the other person.
But in your eyes, I never could hide
Despite efforts, the sadness in the singer's eyes was apparent to the observer.
You always saw the tears that I cried
The other person consistently perceived the singer's hidden tears.
Now it’s me and the ghost of Kurt Cobain
The singer is now accompanied by the ghost of Kurt Cobain.
Side by side on this lonely train
Together, they share a journey on a desolate train.
Me and the ghost of Kurt Cobain
The singer and Kurt Cobain's ghost are intertwined in their experiences.
Down on our knees in the pouring rain
In a vulnerable state, both are on their knees amidst a downpour.
Your ears fell deaf to my silent plea
The other person ignored the singer's silent plea.
God you said, if only I weren’t me
The person wished the singer could be someone else.
I gave you my all, how I tried, I tried
The singer gave their best effort but couldn't overcome the partner's pride.
But I couldn’t compete with your foolish pride
The singer couldn't compete due to the partner's stubbornness.
So it’s me and the ghost of Kurt Cobain
The singer continues the journey with Kurt Cobain's ghost.
Side by side on this lonely train
