Ghost of the park
Embracing the Ghost: A Pale Reflection on Self-Discovery
Lyrics
I think my complexion is too pale
Expressing a belief that their skin tone is too light.
I've sat here for hours on my concrete island
Feeling isolated and spending a long time in a place that feels disconnected from others.
They'll speak of my haunting like a tale
Anticipating how others will discuss their presence in this place as if it's a ghostly story.
As everyone shivers I just watch in silence
Observing others' reactions to the environment without actively participating.
Like so, I hope
Expressing a wish or desire for a specific outcome.
To put your heart to rest
Wanting to ease or calm someone's emotions or concerns.
I've walked all night
Indicating a period of extensive wandering, likely within the context of the park.
With something to confess
Having something significant or weighty to admit or reveal.
That night, on my knees, down the slide
Recalling a specific moment or event of vulnerability, possibly feeling lost or uncertain.
I got lost, like a child
Feeling disoriented or lacking direction, similar to a child's experience of being lost.
And I stared at the dark
Reflecting on observing the darkness, possibly metaphorical or literal, in a contemplative manner.
I smiled, fun enough, at the thought
Finding amusement or positivity in a thought or concept related to the darkness observed.
That someday, they'd still speak
Expecting that others will continue to talk about their presence even in the future, likening it to a haunting memory.
Of the ghost of the park
Expecting a lasting legacy or memory of themselves in the context of the park.
I think my complexion is too pale
Reiterating the feeling of having a too-light complexion.
Yet I'm the one I'd die for
Valuing themselves highly, enough to sacrifice for their own sake.
My fist, as the sharp end of a nail
Comparing oneself to a sharp, painful object, indicating a lack of self-compassion.
I'm not someone I'd cry for
Expressing a lack of emotional attachment or investment in oneself.
I know
Repetition emphasizing a self-awareness or realization, possibly about their own uniqueness or inner light.
