Ghost I Know
Eyes Like Lanterns: Unveiling the Ghost I Know
Lyrics
If my eyes can turn green from the sun
If exposure to the sun can change the color of my eyes to green
When my bones are burned black
When my bones are charred and darkened
Will I feel like I'm done
Will I feel a sense of completion or finality
Share this space with a ghost, but hes
Sharing space with a familiar ghost
One that I know
A ghost that I am acquainted with
All the rest of me is already gone
All other aspects of myself have already disappeared
On the drive home
Reflecting on the journey back home
Those turns I should know
Navigating turns that should be familiar
Dance with the light in my face
Dancing with the light shining on my face
Although my spells seem to show
Even though my spells or efforts may indicate
They already know your name
Others already know your name
Yeah, they already know your name
Confirmation that others are aware of your identity
If my eyes can turn green from the sun
Repetition of the sun affecting the eyes' color
When my bones are burned black
Reiteration of bones turning black from sun exposure
Will I feel like I'm done
Questioning the feeling of completion in this state
Share this space with a ghost, but he's
Sharing space with a known ghost
One that I know
Emphasizing the familiarity of the ghost
All the rest of me is already gone
Reiterating the disappearance of the self
The Spell I would need to
Referencing a spell needed to free someone
Release you
Expressing the desire to release someone
My eyes can see right behind eyes
Ability to see beyond superficial appearances
All of it bleeds through
Everything reveals itself
Beneath you
Beneath the surface
It goes crashing down, falling in time
A dramatic collapse, synchronized with time
The Spell I would need to
Reiteration of the spell for liberation
Release you
Expressing the need to release someone
My eyes can see right behind eyes
Insightful vision beyond the surface
All of it bleeds through
Everything reveals itself
Beneath you
Beneath the surface
It goes crashing down, falling in time
A dramatic collapse, synchronized with time
No one will know
Nobody will understand what compelled me to leave
What forced me to go
Forced to be alone on the ocean
Alone on the ocean that day
Reflecting on a solitary experience at sea
Just more selfish pride
Attributing the isolation to selfish pride
I tried hard to hide it
Attempting to conceal selfish emotions
These songs always got in my way
Mentioning how songs hindered attempts to hide emotions
If my eyes can turn green from the sun
Reiteration of the sun affecting eye color
When my bones are burned black
Reiteration of bones turning black from sun exposure
Will I feel like I'm done
Questioning the feeling of completion in this state
Share this space with a ghost, please
Requesting to share space with a known ghost
One that I know
Emphasizing the preference for a familiar ghost
All the rest of me is already gone
Reiterating the disappearance of the self
