The Ghost
Embracing Echoes: Unveiling the Ghost in James Yuill's Melody
Lyrics
When will I see my children lying in my arms
The singer wonders when they'll have the opportunity to hold their children close.
And hear the sound of echoes echoing my charms
Hoping to experience a reflection or reminder of their own appealing qualities through others' admiration or appreciation.
Go wait at the window,
Encouragement to wait and anticipate at the window.
Don't leave it until,
Implying persistence in waiting until a better future arrives.
You see better days that are coming
Expectation of improved circumstances ahead, suggesting patience.
You just have to wait (x2)
Reiteration of the need for patience.
When will I see my children lying in my arms
Repetition of the desire to see the singer's children in their arms.
I hear the sound of echoes echoing my charms
Reiterating the longing for echoes of admiration or validation.
You stole emotion from the man who needs it most
Someone took away emotions from the singer, especially when they needed them the most.
You gave it to the space between us, that shall now be called the ghost
The emotions were given away to create distance between the singer and another person, forming a metaphorical 'ghost' or barrier.
When will I tell you what is on my mind
Desire to express personal thoughts and feelings to another.
Of how to love me and how I can be defined
Expressing the need for understanding in love and defining oneself within it.
When will I tell you what is on my mind
Repeated desire to share inner thoughts and desires.
Of how to love me and how I can be defined
Reiterating the need for understanding and definition within a relationship.
You stole emotion from the man who needs it most
Repetition of someone taking away the singer's emotions when they needed them the most.
You gave it to the space between us, that shall now be called the ghost
Reiteration of emotions being given to create distance, forming a metaphorical barrier.
