Ghosts of Goodbyes: Unraveling Emotions in Hours Spent Awake's Melody
Lyrics
There's never been an easier way to say goodbye
Expressing that saying goodbye has never been easier.
When all my feelings are twisted and tied up on the inside
Feelings are internally conflicted and complicated.
I'd ponder apathy and how I got this way
Reflecting on apathy and contemplating the path to the current emotional state.
A disembodied voice with so much to say
A voice disconnected from the body, holding significant messages.
But that don't mean a thing
Despite the voice, the speaker's emotional state is lifeless in many aspects.
Because I'm dead in most regards
Expressing emotional numbness and detachment from life.
Social isolation
Referring to being socially isolated.
A cataclysmic disregard
Describing a severe lack of concern or care.
But maybe this time you'll notice the lights flickering outside
Hoping someone will notice the subtle signs of distress.
And how the wind blows so much colder when he's kissing you goodnight
Highlighting the increased emotional coldness when a specific person is involved.
Oh just this time
Expressing a desire for attention and impact, even if just for once.
I'm gonna haunt you
Threatening to haunt or linger in someone's thoughts.
You sit alone in your bedroom
Describing someone in solitude engaging in comfort activities.
Eating Ben N' Jerry's and binge watching old cartoons
Depicting a routine of consuming ice cream and watching nostalgic cartoons.
It's nothing new, it's nothing new
Emphasizing the familiarity of this behavior.
And it's a fact that you don't care about the way that your hair falls
Acknowledging a lack of concern for personal appearance.
Into place like you've got it all figured out
Commenting on the perception of having everything figured out.
How's the taste of three day old chocolate cherry in your mouth
Asking about the taste of old chocolate cherry in the mouth.
I heard you told your friends that you don't wanna see me
Referring to rumors of the speaker not being wanted.
Hanging on a rope that's just a thread by now
Metaphorically hanging on to a fragile connection.
Couldn't bear the fact that you would ever leave me
Despite the fear of separation, the speaker still follows the other's words.
Still I trace the words right from your mouth
Tracing and remembering the spoken words.
And maybe I could be a contender for poltergeist of the year
Expressing a desire to be a significant and haunting presence.
I'd be front page, newsstand worthy
Imagining being newsworthy for paranormal achievements.
I'd throw away all my fears
Willing to overcome fears for recognition and success.
And in the interview they'd ask me
Anticipating questions about the journey to success.
How I ever made it this far
Reflecting on overcoming challenges and obstacles.
And I'd tell em I learned to get past all the times you blew me off
Explaining resilience and determination in the face of rejection.
