Ghost Town
Echoes of Abandoned Love: A Ghost Town Narrative
Lyrics
It’s a ghost town where I’m walking now I’m all alone among the crowd
Describing the current emotional state as a desolate place, feeling alone even in a crowd.
Where are you now?
Pose a question about the whereabouts of someone significant.
Where are you right now?
Repetition of the inquiry, emphasizing the uncertainty and longing for the person's location.
You designed it
Suggesting that the listener (the person being sought) played a role in creating the emotional landscape.
You built this house
Attributing the construction of the emotional "house" to the person in question, indicating a shared history.
You knocked down the walls and picked these flowers You moved it all around
Recalling the person's actions in rearranging and influencing emotions and situations.
You moved it all around
-You moved it all around
-What else can we do now?
Expressing a sense of helplessness and questioning what can be done in the current emotional state.
Can I believe anything you say? Because you do anything you feel Would you believe that this was love? Cuz this is not how it should feel
Doubting the sincerity of the person's words and actions, questioning if what was experienced as love was genuine.
So take your time as you go
Advising the person to take their time in departing or making decisions.
Take as much as you want
Encouraging the person to take whatever they need before leaving.
Cuz once you’re gone please be gone
Expressing a desire for the person to leave definitively once they decide to go.
You designed it
Reiteration of the idea that the person being addressed played a significant role in the emotional situation.
You built this house
Repeating the actions of the person in rearranging emotions and situations.
You knocked down the walls and you picked these flowers You moved it all around
-You moved it all around
-You moved it all around
-But all in all I’ll still need Still need you now
Despite the emotional turmoil, acknowledging a continued need for the person.
And while you’re gone It won’t be easy
Anticipating difficulty in coping while the person is absent.
Every night I’ll wake up calling your name calling your name Every night I’ll wake up calling your name calling your name Every night I’ll wake up calling your name calling your name Every night I’ll wake up calling your name calling your name
Expressing a nightly ritual of yearning for the absent person by calling their name, highlighting the enduring impact of their absence.
