Echoes of Longing: Ghost Prom's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
I'm half the man I wish I was
I feel incomplete or not the person I aspire to be.
can't run away when you're a stick in the mud
Feeling stuck or unable to escape from a situation.
My leg is haunted by the sight of you
A haunting memory or experience associated with you.
And all the things you could say that make him good are true
Positive qualities about him are acknowledged.
But the greatest of all is the shit that he don't do
The most significant aspect is what he refrains from doing.
Listen close if you have to
Encouragement to pay close attention, possibly to a story.
He don't ask my why, he just lets me cry, on his shoulder
He provides support without questioning, allowing for emotional release.
He don't need to know, he just tells me jokes
He doesn't require details, but uses humor to lighten the mood.
Till I'm better
His presence or actions contribute to improvement or healing.
I stole all the air in the sky
A metaphorical act of taking control or responsibility.
Told the night to hold its breathe so you wouldn't die
Intervening to prevent a negative outcome or loss.
Now we're both waiting on you to come back to life
Waiting for a positive change or revival.
Hello my friend, ain't it sad
Expressing sadness about the inability to use a specific phrase.
That I'll never get to say that again
Reflecting on the finality of not being able to say something again.
But I still got your laugh playin out my phone
Retaining the memory of laughter through recorded messages.
And all the things you could say that make him good are true
Reiteration of positive qualities, emphasizing what he doesn't do.
But the greatest of all is the shit that he don't do
Highlighting the significance of his inaction.
Listen close if you have to
Repeating the call to listen closely, indicating importance.
He don't ask my why, he just lets me cry, on his shoulder
Providing emotional support without probing for explanations.
He don't need to know, he just tells me jokes
Using humor to aid in recovery without needing to understand fully.
Till I'm better
Continued presence and actions contributing to emotional well-being.
I just stare out...
Engaging in contemplation or reflection.
