Ghosts
Echoes of Abandoned Dreams
Lyrics
The storefronts change with every season
The appearance of storefronts changes regularly, indicating a dynamic environment.
Like this town was built for leaving
The town seems designed for people to leave, suggesting transience or impermanence.
Brand new faces in the same old crowds
New individuals are present in the familiar crowds, highlighting the cyclical nature of social dynamics.
Can't shake this hollow empty feeling
An indescribable and empty emotion persists, possibly related to unfulfillment or dissatisfaction.
Nothing but the ghosts left in this town
The town is now only populated by memories or remnants of the past, represented as ghosts.
Haunting all the souls still hanging around
The lingering presence of past experiences continues to affect those who remain.
Running down a dream searching for
Pursuing an elusive dream, possibly indicating a quest for something meaningful.
Something that can't be found
The pursuit is futile, as the sought-after thing is unattainable.
Nothing but the ghosts
Repetition emphasizes the prevalence of the ghostly presence, reinforcing the theme.
Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-And it all feels so familiar
Despite familiarity, the town has never felt like a true home.
But it's never felt like home
The speaker is surrounded by intangible entities, possibly symbolic of unresolved issues.
Surrounded by these apparitions
The speaker feels out of place, and their time in the current situation seems to have passed.
I think my time has come and gone
Confirmation that the speaker's era or relevance has ended.
Nothing but the ghosts left in this town
Repetition reinforces the theme of the town being haunted by memories and unfulfilled aspirations.
Haunting all the souls still hanging around
-Running down a dream searching for
-Something that can't be found
-Nothing but the ghosts
Continued emphasis on the prevalence of ghosts in the town.
Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts left in this town
Reiteration of the dominant theme of the town being devoid of life and filled only with memories.
Haunting all the souls still hanging around
-Nothing but the ghosts left in this town
-Haunting all the souls still hanging around
-Running down a dream searching for
-Something that can't be found
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
Final emphasis on the emptiness and haunting nature of the town, concluding the narrative.
Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
-Nothing but the ghosts
