Quitter
Ghost of Self: Wandering through City Lights
Lyrics
Can you see me?
Feeling invisible and questioning if others can perceive or understand oneself.
Can you see right through me?
Wondering if one's true self is transparent to others.
I'm wondering out loud
Expressing thoughts openly and audibly.
I'm wandering out
Roaming aimlessly or without purpose.
Through the city on busy streets
Navigating through a bustling city on busy streets.
Driving circles endlessly
Driving in circles without a clear destination.
Every highway sign's a billboard
Viewing highway signs as reminders of unexplored experiences.
For the things I haven't seen
Reflecting on the things not yet witnessed or experienced.
On the outside looking in
Being an outsider observing from a distance.
On the inside looking anywhere else
Feeling discontented within, seeking escape.
I'm a ghost
Identifying as a ghost, disconnected from the world.
But all I haunt is myself
Haunted by internal struggles rather than external entities.
But I like it that way
Embracing the self-imposed isolation and detachment.
Walk around in a safer place
Finding comfort in a seemingly safer environment.
Memorizing cracks in the concrete
Engaging in repetitive and detailed observation of surroundings.
Til the weeds all know my name
Becoming familiar with the overlooked details in one's environment.
Do you haunt me?
Questioning if others influence or affect one's thoughts and existence.
Have you figured me out?
Wondering if others have understood one's true nature.
Maybe I should just grow up
Contemplating the need for maturity and self-reflection.
And stop thinking so loud
Considering the possibility of growing up and quieting internal thoughts.
On the outside looking in
Observing from an external perspective with a sense of detachment.
On the inside looking anywhere else
Internally seeking escape and distraction from the current state.
I'm a ghost
Identifying with the idea of being a ghost, disconnected from reality.
But all I haunt is myself
Haunted by internal struggles, with a self-inflicted isolation.
So I'll quit it
Expressing a decision to quit or abandon a certain mindset or behavior.
Try it again
Committing to trying again despite past failures or challenges.
What's the point of the sound I make
Questioning the significance of one's actions and expressions.
When it fixes nothing?
Doubting the effectiveness of self-expression in resolving internal issues.
On the outside looking in
Observing from an external standpoint with a sense of detachment.
On the inside looking anywhere else
Internally seeking escape and distraction from the current state.
I'm a ghost
Identifying with the idea of being a ghost, disconnected from reality.
But all I haunt is myself
Haunted by internal struggles, with a self-inflicted isolation.
