Knocking
Haunted Reflections: Embracing Madness in Luke Haney's 'Knocking'
Lyrics
There's a ghost outside my door
There is a mysterious presence outside the speaker's door.
I can hear it knocking
The speaker can hear knocking, possibly from the ghost mentioned.
We've got what it's looking for
The speaker believes they possess what the ghost is seeking.
So, I'm gonna stick to my guns
The speaker intends to remain steadfast and true to their beliefs.
And if it doesn't go
If the ghost doesn't leave, the speaker plans to stay in their current state.
I'll just stay from now on
The speaker contemplates a decision to remain unchanged.
Where were you when i was wrong? (She said nothing at all)
Questioning someone's absence during the speaker's difficult times, with a mention of silence.
In the middle of the heat, I lost my mind and I'm not coming back
During a challenging situation, the speaker lost control and may not return to their previous state.
Hold onto me, 'cause this time we're going right through the floor
A plea for support and commitment in facing difficulties together.
In the middle of the heat
Reiteration of a tumultuous experience in the midst of intense emotions.
I lost my mind
Repetition emphasizing the intensity of losing one's mind.
I lost my mind
-I lost my mind
-I lost my mind
-How long until you know the truth?
Pondering how long it takes for someone to discover the truth.
I can't explain these things to you
Expressing difficulty in explaining certain experiences to someone else.
It flows, but honestly with you
An acknowledgment of the flow of time and honesty in a relationship.
You better change before I
A warning or ultimatum for someone to change their behavior.
Go
A command or suggestion to leave.
Go
Reiteration of the command or suggestion to leave.
A head turns into your soul
A metaphorical transformation of one's thoughts and essence.
And I will dance, time will turn another stone
The speaker will dance as time brings change.
A shore line in your home
Imagery of a shore line and a broken door, representing change over time.
A broken door, time will turn another stone
Continuation of imagery indicating the impact of time on circumstances.
I'm too far out of here
A feeling of being distant or disconnected from the current situation.
'Cause I take my time to tell you how I feel
The speaker takes their time to express their emotions.
I'm so left out and done with
Feeling excluded and fed up with various aspects of life.
Every single thing I find a little bit about
Frustration with every small detail discovered.
And you're sinking on your own
Observing someone's struggle and decline without intervention.
I lost my mind, I lost my mind
Repetition of losing one's mind, possibly emphasizing the ongoing mental struggle.
