Lyrics
Standing in front of this bed with some matches, watch it burn
Contemplating destruction and self-immolation, a metaphorical desire to erase oneself.
I'll pray my body burns too
Expressing a wish for complete annihilation, extending beyond physical to emotional self-destruction.
Why do, I do the things I do
Ruminating on personal actions and behavior.
Things I do
Reflecting on one's own questionable actions.
And did it blind you, blind you
Questioning the impact of actions and whether they blinded someone.
That you are the only one who can see what I've done
Acknowledging someone as the sole witness to personal deeds.
Eight years just to feel the same
Eight years of stagnation, feeling unchanged and stagnant.
I need to get up and make a change
A realization of the need for change and transformation.
Get up and get over this
A call to action, urging to overcome challenges.
My voice it echoes
Expression of personal echoes and internal conflicts.
My thoughts collide
Inner turmoil and conflicting thoughts.
You said I'm dead to you I prayed for you
Mentioning being disowned but still praying for the person.
Now you're dreams can come true
Sarcastically referring to someone's dreams coming true after separation.
There's a place in my bed where you rested your head
A nostalgic reference to a shared bed, now empty and cold.
Now I'm resting alone in this bed and it's cold
Feeling isolated and ghost-like after a relationship ends.
I Feel like a ghost
Emotionally detached, likening oneself to a ghost.
These memories go up in smoke
Recalling memories fading away.
You didn't want to hear it
Not being receptive to painful truths.
Did it make me delirious
Wondering if the truth caused a state of delirium.
Two, forty AM my room was
Not specified.
Why do, I do the things I do
Repetition of questioning one's actions.
Things I do
Reiteration of reflecting on personal deeds.
And did it blind you, blind you
Repeating the impact of blinding someone.
That you are the only one who can see what I've done
Reaffirming someone as the exclusive witness to actions.
Guess I'll never know what I meant to you
Expressing uncertainty about one's significance to someone else.
These years been lonely
Reflecting on years of solitude and loneliness.
But at least it's through
Finding closure and relief after a prolonged period of isolation.
I'll write a letter to my former self
Planning to communicate with one's past self.
Dear Sad Ghost, why'd you put your heart on a shelf?
Addressing oneself as a "Sad Ghost," questioning past choices.
You took the boy out of them
Alluding to a negative transformation in character.
Is when you took the life out of me
Highlighting the emotional drain caused by another person.
Take a look into the mirror
Suggesting introspection by looking into a mirror.
But you don't see yourself inside
Not seeing one's true self reflected in the mirror.
Why don't you grab a hold
Encouraging self-awareness and self-discovery.
You'll be locked up here with me
Predicting a shared fate of being emotionally trapped.
Like it did with you
Reiterating emotional entrapment as experienced by the other person.
I know you're drunk again
Acknowledging someone's intoxicated state.
And I'm thinking clear
Claiming clarity despite the other person's inebriation.
But when you write this down
Encouraging sincerity in expressing emotions in writing.
At least try and sound a bit more sincere
Recommending authenticity in written communication.
Guess I'll never know
Repeating uncertainty about one's significance to someone else.
What I meant to you
Reiterating the mystery of one's importance to another person.
These years been lonely but at least it's through
Reaffirming years of loneliness and acknowledging closure.
I'll write a ere's a place in my bed where you rested your head
Restating the emptiness of a bed once shared with another.
Now I'm resting alone in this bed and letter to my former self
Reiterating the act of addressing one's past self as a "Sad Ghost."
Dear Sad Ghost, why'd you put your heart on a shelf?
Asking the past self about the decision to emotionally withdraw.
