Lyrics
For the last four years I've lived with your shadow over my head
Reflecting on living under the influence and impact of someone's presence for the past four years.
Your phantom has been tucked away
Acknowledging that the person's presence has been concealed or suppressed.
But still the thought of your stirs inside my mind
Despite efforts to hide the memories, thoughts of the person still resonate within the mind.
And I know there's nothing I can do to bring you back
Recognizing the impossibility of bringing the person back or altering the past.
Or change the past
Accepting the inability to change historical events.
But if I keep going on this way
Contemplating the consequences of dwelling on past failures and shattered happiness.
Dredging up the failures of what I once considered happiness
Realizing that clinging to past failures is detrimental to one's self-concept.
This concept of myself wont last
Understanding that the current self-perception is unsustainable.
I need to give up your ghost
Expressing the need to let go of the lingering influence or memory of the person.
Find a way home
Desiring to find a path back to a sense of home or inner peace.
Break this mould
Expressing the intention to break free from a predefined pattern or way of living.
Bring back what I need most
Yearning to reclaim what is considered the most essential or important.
A sense of shelter
Craving a feeling of security or refuge.
An escape from this cold
Seeking an escape from emotional coldness or detachment.
And I never felt like I belonged to this earth
Expressing a sense of alienation from the world and a lack of belonging.
But you're the one that was taken away
Acknowledging the loss of someone special who was taken away.
And I wish you could stay
Expressing a desire for the departed person to remain present.
I wish you'd have stayed
Reiterating the wish for the person to have stayed.
But it was never meant to be
Accepting that the relationship was not destined to endure.
More than a distant memory
Acknowledging the person as a distant memory rather than a current presence.
And I can't find sleep
Expressing difficulty in finding rest or peace without thoughts of the person.
Without you in my mind
Highlighting the persistent impact of the person on the individual's thoughts, even during sleep.
