Ghost
Confronting Shadows: Embracing Freedom
Lyrics
i want to know
I desire understanding
how life can change so easy after all and it’s so cold when we are breaking down and start to fall
Contemplating how life can swiftly change, and the emotional coldness during breakdowns
and when you go to the place you hate the most you’ll see
Reflecting on going to a disliked place, anticipating a confrontation with inner struggles
you finally fight your ghost and you’ll be free
Conquering personal demons (ghosts) leads to freedom
like me
Expressing a sense of liberation
not even close
Acknowledging a distance from complete freedom
but close enough to see what’s going on
Proximity to understanding unfolding situations
it’s in my throat the feelings i can’t keep i scream along
Feeling overwhelmed, expressing emotions that are hard to contain
and there i go through all these streets i used to know
Navigating through familiar streets, possibly symbolizing memories or past experiences
do you feel the panic as it grows
Sensing panic and tension growing
so old
Reflecting on the aging process
don’t you ever break me down
Requesting not to be broken down by external forces
even though it’s still around
Acknowledging the persistence of challenges
don’t you ever feel the pain i’m in
Asking not to feel the pain the singer is experiencing
don’t you ever bring it back
Urging not to revisit the past
the beginning of my trap
Referring to the start of a difficult situation or relationship
it’s haunting me
Being haunted by unresolved issues
how can you see me what did i leave undone
Questioning how others perceive the singer and what remains unfinished
how can you feel me
Asking if others can empathize with the singer even in their absence
even if i’m gone
Exploring the idea of emotional connection beyond physical presence
don’t you ever break me down
Reiterating the plea not to be broken down
even though it’s still around
Acknowledging the lingering presence of challenges
don’t you ever feel the pain i’m in
Reiterating the desire for others not to feel the singer's pain
don’t you ever bring it back
Advising against revisiting past struggles
the beginning of my trap
Referring again to the origin of difficulties haunting the singer
it’s haunting me
Describing the persistent and unsettling nature of unresolved issues
like a ghost
Drawing a comparison to being haunted like a ghost
