Love Amidst Broken Homes: Phantom Isle's 1992 Tale
Lyrics
Despite what you’ve done to me
Despite the negative impact you've had on me
Despite what you’ve done to me
Reiteration of the enduring impact on the speaker
I love you still
Expressing love despite the hardships
Life was good
Reflecting on a time when life was positive
I understood
Understanding and embracing the innocence of childhood
What is was to be a child
Describing the experience of being a child
Now look what you
Shift in tone, addressing the impact of someone's actions
What you’ve done to me
Highlighting the negative consequences inflicted by the person
You’ve made me grow up way too quick
Stating that the person has forced premature maturity
You’ve made me grow up way too quick
Reiterating the theme of accelerated maturation
Even though you broke my home
Acknowledging the disruption of the speaker's home
I love you still
Reaffirming love despite the broken home
Even though I’m on my own
Expressing love even though the speaker is now alone
I love you still
Stating love despite the challenges of growing up
Even though I’m barely grown
Describing the pain and challenges of adulthood
I felt this pain inside my bones
Expressing the deep emotional impact on the speaker
Even though you broke my home
Reiterating love despite the shattered home
I love you still
Reaffirming love despite the adversity
The ghosts that haunt
Introducing haunting memories or regrets
Me in my sleep
Referencing ghosts that trouble the speaker during sleep
Took the ground beneath my feet
Describing the unsettling impact of haunting memories
Despite what you’ve done to me
Reiteration of enduring love despite the negative actions
Despite what you’ve done to me
Repeating the impact of the person's actions
I love you still
Reaffirming love despite the continuing challenges
The ghosts they come
Introducing the persistence of haunting memories at night
Awake at night
Describing the haunting nature of the memories during the night
They haunt me still
Affirming that the haunting memories persist
Ohhh
Expressing emotions, possibly pain or distress
Oooh
Continuation of expressing emotional turmoil
Oooh
Further continuation of emotional expression
Ohhh
Concluding expression of emotion
