Phantom
Searching for Love: A Melancholic Journey in Ryan Leahan's Phantom
Lyrics
I really thought it'd be easy to find it
I anticipated an easy quest to find something.
Run through the years while the time is just melting
Time passes swiftly, and I navigate through the years.
I won't lay here expecting my phone to ring
I won't passively wait for a phone call.
But maybe just once someone could feel it back for
Expressing a desire for reciprocity in emotions.
Me instead of chasing girls that I'm after that won't
Instead of pursuing uninterested girls, hoping for reciprocation.
Feel not a drop in their heart
These girls don't feel any emotional connection.
Oh and they say
Reference to common beliefs or advice.
That one true love will come
Expectation that true love will eventually happen.
But baby where's mine in this life
Questioning the absence of true love in the current life.
Oh and they say
Reiteration of the expectation of true love.
That one true love's precious it's come
Highlighting the preciousness of true love.
But why mess with me now
Questioning why there's interference or complications.
Just for some fun fooling round
Suspecting involvement for amusement or casual encounters.
The world's been spinning upside down
Feeling disoriented or emotionally turbulent.
I see a smile I hear a frown
Perceiving contradictory emotions in others.
I know all the things you say to me
Acknowledging the words spoken but uncertain of their true meaning.
They mean something but what they mean
Expressions have significance, but the speaker is unsure of the meaning.
I don't know
Confusion about the meaning of expressed sentiments.
And I'm sick of writing sappy songs
Frustration with writing sentimental songs about past relationships.
About some girl that's long and gone
Reflecting on a past relationship that doesn't merit more songs.
She don't deserve another tune
Asserting that the mentioned girl doesn't deserve further attention.
So let me make this one 'bout you instead
Choosing to focus on the current person instead of past relationships.
You know I'm feeling alright now
Expressing contentment and well-being at the moment.
Yeah a spark gave me life now
A positive change or inspiration that brought life.
Two hours to new york
Indication of a journey to New York with a two-hour duration.
Comme les nuits quand on croyait que tout irait bien
French line: Like nights when we believed everything would be fine.
Ah heartache
An expression of heartache or emotional pain.
Ah heartache
Reiteration of heartache, possibly emphasizing the emotional theme.
