Ghost of You
Unraveling Shadows: Joel Chadd's Haunting Reflections on Life
Lyrics
What's this place that I've been livin in
Questioning the nature of the current living situation.
Some call it home some call it givin in
Some perceive it as a home, while others see it as surrendering to external pressures.
To all things that they want me to be
Feeling pressured to conform to societal expectations.
And all the reasons that I could never see
Unable to understand the reasons behind certain expectations.
See it your way
Encouraging someone to see things from the speaker's perspective.
Well there's ghosts in this house
Describing the presence of haunting memories or unresolved issues.
I don't know their names
Unknown entities representing the past.
but I know that they're all about
Acknowledging that these entities are significant.
Comin' round' making my mind not easy, easy
These ghosts disturb the speaker's peace of mind.
Comin' round' making my mind not easy
Repetition emphasizing the impact on the speaker's mental state.
You'd always say to me live your life
Recalling advice to live life fully.
Like its last day that you'll see
Advising to live each day as if it were the last.
But I've been livin like I have days to come
Contradicting the advice by living for the future instead of the present.
Instead of livin life like this is my last one
Choosing a cautious approach rather than embracing the present moment.
I walk down these long dark hallways
Describing a journey through challenging and uncertain times.
There's your voice now, it calling out my name
Hearing a familiar voice, possibly representing a guiding influence.
Saying come on in son & put your mind at ease
The voice encourages the speaker to find ease in their mind.
Don't stay to long, baby do you know what I mean?
A reminder not to dwell too long in comforting or stagnant situations.
What's this place that I've been livin in
Revisiting the initial question about the current living situation.
Some call it home some call it givin in
Reiteration of the dual perception of the current situation.
To all things that they want me to be
Continued pressure to conform to external expectations.
And all the reasons that I could never see
Repeating the difficulty in understanding certain reasons behind expectations.
See it your way
Encouraging someone to see things from the speaker's perspective, once again.
