Ghost
Unseen Longings: Katie Toupin's Haunting Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
There's a ghost
There is a presence or memory haunting the narrator's space.
In the house
The haunting presence is felt within the narrator's living space.
And it's freaking me out
The presence is causing fear or discomfort.
I don't want
The narrator expresses a reluctance to accept the existence of the ghost.
To believe
Reluctance to believe in intangible or unseen things.
In things that I can't see
The narrator doesn't want to believe in things beyond their perception.
But there's a voice in my room
There is a mysterious voice in the narrator's room.
And you could hear it too
Suggesting that others can also hear the mysterious voice.
But you're not here
The person the narrator expects to be there is absent.
I can't sleep
The absence of a significant person is affecting the narrator's ability to sleep.
When you're not here with me
The narrator feels restless without the presence of a loved one during sleep.
If I could fall asleep
If the narrator could fall asleep, they would dream of past days filled with love.
I'd dream about the days you loved me
The desire to relive moments of being loved through dreams.
There's ghost
Reiteration of the haunting presence, emphasizing its existence in the narrator's thoughts.
In my mind
The haunting extends to the narrator's thoughts or memories.
I'm afraid that I might find out
Fear of discovering unsettling truths within the narrator's own mind.
That these things
Uncertainty about the reality of the things the narrator hears.
That I hear
Doubt about the authenticity of the auditory experiences.
That there not really here
Suspicions that what is heard may not be real.
And if I close my eyes
Closing eyes intensifies the haunting experience.
It haunts me every night
The haunting persists in the narrator's dreams.
And I might be insane
The possibility of being perceived as insane due to persistent thoughts.
But I just keep on thinking
Continued contemplation and rumination despite potential irrationality.
If I could fall asleep
If the narrator could sleep, they would dream of past days filled with love.
I'd dream about the days you loved me
Reiteration of the desire to dream of days filled with love during sleep.
And if I could fall asleep
Expressing a longing for dreams that involve the ways they were loved.
I'd dream about the ways you loved me
Desire for dreams that capture the various ways love was expressed.
If I could fall asleep
Continued yearning for dreams of past days filled with love.
I'd dream about the days you loved me
Repetition of the wish to dream about days when love was present.
And if I could fall asleep
Continued longing for dreams that revolve around past days filled with love.
I'd dream about the ways you loved me
The persistent desire to dream about the ways love was expressed in the past.
