Ghost
Echoes of Love and Loss: Father Figuer's Ghost Revealed
Lyrics
Same damn hall
Feeling stuck in a familiar place
Same damn wall we have painted six times
Repeating the same patterns and mistakes
And I can’t talk
Unable to express oneself
We both know what is waiting inside
A shared understanding of an impending challenge or difficulty
We both know what is waiting
Emphasizing the mutual awareness of what lies ahead
We both know what is waiting
-We both know what is waiting
-We both know
-So will you try to remember me faithfully?
Asking if the person will remember with loyalty
And when you’re asked by your brother why you won’t sing
Questioning why the person refuses to sing, possibly indicating emotional withdrawal
Will you name me as the reason?
Wondering if the person will attribute their actions to the speaker
“Come and go like the seasons,
Suggesting transient relationships, emphasizing lack of permanence
Never mine. Never mine”
-And yet you ask for another favor from me
Expressing frustration at being repeatedly asked for favors
Like I don’t tire of keeping your sanity
Indicating weariness of maintaining the person's mental well-being
Let me go, Let me breathe in
Pleading for freedom and space
It’s my soul that you feed on
Highlighting the emotional toll taken by the person on the speaker's soul
Where is yours?
Questioning the emotional state of the person
