I Believe In Ghosts
Confronting the Unseen: Embracing Shadows in 'I Believe In Ghosts'
Lyrics
There's something in here with me
Expressing a sense of presence or unease, feeling something in the immediate surroundings.
Some clever stowaways that I can't see
Acknowledging the existence of hidden or unnoticed elements causing concern.
I hold my breath for that sweet relief
Anticipating a moment of relief while holding breath, possibly due to tension or fear.
I'm finding it hard to breathe
Struggling to breathe, suggesting emotional or psychological difficulty.
I see these fuckers watching me
Feeling observed or judged by others with negative connotations.
I shift my tone and pretend it's gone
Changing demeanor to hide or deny the unsettling presence.
I tell everyone I know that I've moved on
Informing others of a supposed emotional recovery or moving on.
I put a smile on, I pretend I'm strong
Putting on a facade of happiness and strength.
When they see me, I see doubt
Perceiving doubt in others when they see the pretense.
Their staring gets unbearable
Experiencing discomfort from the persistent scrutiny of others.
I'm hunting for a time to checkout
Seeking an opportunity to escape or withdraw from the situation.
I'm never alone, I'm never safe
Feeling a constant lack of solitude and safety.
But listen please, I'm serious
Requesting attention for a serious matter despite the challenges in communication.
I know that you're not hearing this
Expressing frustration at not being heard or understood.
Because I seem delirious
Acknowledging a perception of delirium in one's expressions.
But I'm not crazy
Asserting sanity despite external perceptions.
But it mostly comes back at night
Highlighting the recurrence of unsettling feelings, especially during the night.
One day I'll grow a spine, I'll kill the lights
Aspiring to overcome fear and uncertainties, metaphorically represented by growing a spine and killing the lights.
One day shake off this curse of mine
Expressing a desire to break free from a perceived curse or negative influence.
I've got fear, I've got doubt
Acknowledging the presence of fear and doubt in one's life.
I got no...
Intentionally left blank or incomplete, suggesting an unfinished thought.
They just don't believe when I say
Others not believing the speaker's assurances or positive statements.
I'll be bright tailed and bushy eyed
Describing a hopeful and energetic future state despite skepticism from others.
And one day I might get things right
Expressing optimism about eventually getting things right in the future.
And I know that you think I'm lying
Awareness of others doubting the honesty or truthfulness of the speaker.
I'm not crazy
Reiterating sanity despite external perceptions.
But I do believe in ghosts now
Acknowledging a newfound belief in the existence of ghosts, possibly metaphorical.
