Ghost You Know
Echoes of Longing: Haunting Memories in 'Ghost You Know'
Lyrics
There's a room in my house where I stumble over a memory
Reflects a specific place in the narrator's home where memories resurface and cause stumbling or emotional distress.
There's a light in the night and I wonder if you've come back for me
The narrator notices a light at night, prompting thoughts of whether someone from their past has returned.
Well it's a little too late to say sorry, but don't be so hard on me
Expresses regret and a desire for forgiveness, even though it may be too late for apologies.
Ghost, you know I can't go back
Acknowledges an inability to reverse or revisit the past.
Come like a whisper in silence, a brush on my skin
Describes the presence of someone or something as subtle as a whisper or touch.
The shadow that flies by my door, but I'm wanting more
Desire for a deeper connection or interaction despite fleeting appearances.
Well it's a little too late to say sorry, but don't be so hard on me
Reiterates the plea for understanding and forgiveness despite the lateness of the situation.
Ghost, you know I can't go back
Reaffirms the inability to revert to the past.
Like a song in my ear you are near me, here like a time machine
Compares the presence of the figure to a song or a time-traveling force, indicating its continuous influence.
Ghost you keep pulling me back
Despite efforts, the ghostly presence consistently draws the narrator back to the past.
Well If you've been here all the while, watching me drift by and by
Suggests a realization that the presence has been constant, observing the narrator's life passively.
Waiting for something to fill me up, ghost close your eyes
Implores the ghost to cease its observation and let go of the past.
I can silence the voice in my head and hear you instead
Expresses a desire to quiet one's inner thoughts to better hear the ghostly presence.
Whisper and sing for me again, rise from the dead
Requests the ghostly presence to communicate or appear again, indicating a longing for its return.
Well it's a little too late to say sorry, but don't be so hard on me
Repeats the plea for understanding despite the irreversibility of the past.
Ghost, you know I can't go back
Reaffirms the impossibility of returning to the past.
Like a song in my ear you are near me, here like a time machine
Reiterates the continuous impact of the ghostly figure as a force connected to memories.
Ghost you keep pulling me back
Despite efforts to move forward, the ghostly presence keeps drawing the narrator back.
Sometimes you lose everything, or gave it away well it's hard to say now
Reflects on the uncertainty of losing or willingly giving away everything, making it challenging to assess the situation now.
