Nothing Worth Keeping
Unveiling Depths: Ghost Chant's Raw Reflection on Love's Cost
Lyrics
I think we should stay here and fight
I believe we should confront the challenges instead of avoiding them
We’ve become too complacent
We have grown too comfortable and self-satisfied
We turned our backs but right here tonight
Although we turned away previously, tonight is the time to face the truth
We should penetrate the skin
We should delve deep and confront the issues directly
And sever off our wings and
Suggests a symbolic act of shedding our inhibitions or constraints
Cling to our halos pretending
We should hold on to our moral integrity, pretending that everything is fine
That everything’s alright
Despite the pretense, things are not okay
Because nothing’s alright
Emphasizes the gravity of the situation, conveying that nothing is truly alright
No nothings alright
Reiterates the sentiment that nothing is okay
Nothing worth keeping easy is easy
Things of value are not easily obtained; they require effort
Nothing worth lovings just fine
Loving something truly worthwhile involves challenges but is still worthwhile
It should tear you open from the inside
The process of valuing something should be emotionally impactful
And remember why you gave yourself to it
Recalling the initial passion or commitment to remind oneself of its importance
I would wrap myself in every word you’ve said
Expressing a desire to immerse oneself in the words spoken by a significant other
Tie your promises to my wrist until they bled
Symbolic act of binding oneself to promises, even if they cause pain
Load your loving glances in the barrel
Turning affectionate looks into a metaphorical weapon
Put your scent and touch between my teeth
Suggests preserving sensory memories in a tangible way
And let our memories pull the trigger
Memories become a powerful force, capable of influencing future actions
Pull the trigger for me
Requesting the significant other to take decisive action
Nothing worth keeping easy is easy
Reiteration that valuable things are not easily obtained
Nothing worth lovings just fine
Loving something meaningful may come with challenges but is still worthwhile
It should tear you open from the inside
Emphasizes the transformative and sometimes painful nature of true value
And remember why you gave yourself to it
Recalling the reasons for committing to something of significance
Take these broken hands and mend them with thread
Acknowledging personal flaws and seeking improvement or healing
Suture me a new way to feel the warmth again
Requesting a renewal of emotional warmth and connection
I would wrap myself in the words you’ve said
Reiterating the desire to immerse oneself in meaningful words
Tie your promise to my wrists until they bled
Symbolic act of binding oneself to promises, even if they cause pain (repeated)
