City of Ghosts
Haunted by Shadows: A Soul's Quest Amidst City of Ghosts
Lyrics
I've spent all of my days
I have spent all of my days
Looking for an answer in a bottle
Searching for answers in alcohol
While no ones around to watch
When no one is present to witness
I'm drowning memories
I'm drowning in memories
Of the days and nights
Of the days and nights that prompt the question
That make me ask the question
Why am I here?
Why am I here
Especially when those I care about are gone
When they're all gone
Continuing the search despite their absence
So I keep searching
Persistently seeking answers
Always coming up empty handed
Consistently facing disappointment
Ending each night drunk numb and alone
Concluding each night in a state of drunken numbness and loneliness
You left me drunk and alone
A direct reference to someone leaving the speaker in a state of intoxication and solitude
I've become so good at turning off me feelings
Adapting to shutting down emotions effectively
Everyone around me is sick and tired of hearing
People around the speaker are exhausted from hearing about the lack of progress in healing
That I'm not healing
Emphasizing the struggle of not recovering
I'm doing my best to pretend like everything's okay
Pretending that everything is fine despite the internal struggles
But trauma never heals
Stating that trauma doesn't heal
The pain never goes away
Emphasizing the enduring nature of pain
There's still a city of ghosts
Referring to lingering memories or consequences as a metaphorical "city of ghosts"
That follow me everywhere I go
Highlighting the persistent nature of haunting memories
Even when they're around
Feeling lonely even in the presence of these haunting memories
I still feel so alone
Expressing a constant sense of loneliness
I'm always so alone
Reiterating the enduring loneliness
So I keep searching
Continuing the search despite repeated disappointment
Always coming up empty handed
Consistently facing a lack of answers
Ending each night drunk numb and alone
Ending each night in a state of drunken numbness and loneliness, echoing a cycle
You left me drunk and alone
A repetition of being left in a state of intoxication and solitude
I've become so good at turning off me feelings
Reiterating the proficiency in shutting down emotions
Everyone around me is sick and tired of hearing
People around the speaker are tired of hearing about the lack of progress in healing, a repeated sentiment
That I'm not healing
Re-emphasizing the struggle of not recovering from the emotional wounds
There's a city of ghosts living in my head
Describing the presence of haunting memories in the mind
There's a city of ghosts that want me dead
Suggesting that these haunting memories carry a desire for the speaker's demise
There's a city of ghosts living in my head
Reiterating the presence of haunting memories in the mind
There's a city of ghosts that want me dead
Suggesting that these haunting memories actively wish harm upon the speaker
