Journey Through Andover's Heartache: A Midnight Ghost's Tale
Lyrics
Running home like a midnight ghost
Feeling a sense of urgency, moving quickly like a ghost in the night
& the hearts I stole are bleeding on
Regret for causing pain to those whose hearts were taken
All alone, chasing miles of road
Loneliness, pursuing a long journey
And the street lights glow, off and gone
City lights have faded away, indicating a departure
Now I've got
Introduction to personal struggles and losses
Holes in the bottom of my shoes
Metaphorical wear and tear, symbolizing hardships
Drawers that ain't being used
Unused spaces and emptiness in life
Eyes that ask too much
Eyes reflecting curiosity or longing
Scars that ain't been touched
Unhealed emotional wounds
Words to prove you right
Possession of arguments or justification
Tears to last all night
Sorrow that lingers throughout the night
Oh, babe, you've been through hell
Acknowledging a partner's difficult experiences
Your hands they ain't been held
Not receiving emotional support
Andover
Repetition of the location "Andover" as a significant place or metaphor
Andover
-Andover
-So it goes that the ones you know
The people close to you may suffer the most from your actions
They're the ones you hurt the most
Uncertainty about finding one's way back to a stable state
And I don't know my way back home
Lost and struggling to find a place
Girl, I lost my place long ago
Personal disorientation and displacement
Now I've got
Repetition of personal struggles and losses
Holes in the bottom of my shoes
-Drawers that ain't being used
-Eyes that ask too much
-Scars that ain't been touched
-Words to prove you right
-Tears to last all night
-Oh, babe, you've been through hell
Acknowledging the partner's challenging experiences
Your hands they ain't been held
Lack of emotional support for the partner
