Apparition
Haunted Reflections: Unraveling the Illusion in safekeeping's 'Apparition'
Lyrics
Was it worth it
Questioning the value or merit of something
did I deserve this
Questioning whether the speaker deserved what happened
all the delusion
Reference to a state of deception or false belief
it was all an illusion
Highlighting that everything experienced was a mere illusion
you had my attention
Acknowledging someone had the speaker's attention
like a cold apparition
Describing the person as a distant, ghostly presence
we were lost in the moment
Expressing being immersed in the fleeting moment
felt the stop in the seconds
Sensing a pause or halt in time
Pre Chorus:
(Pre Chorus)
Tried to unlock it, trust me it’s broken
Attempting to open or access something, realizing it's broken
Was it even real, or all just smoke and mirrors x 2
Questioning the reality of the experience, wondering if it was merely deception
I know I know I know this ghost inside will grow
Acknowledging the presence of an internal haunting or unresolved issue
I’ll show, I’ll show, I’ll show it how to trick my eyes you’re home
Committing to confronting or managing the haunting presence
I’ll find i’ll find I’ll find me screaming at an empty room
Expecting to search desperately in an empty space
I’ll love I’ll love I’ll love this ghost until it leaves me too
Committing to loving something fleeting until it departs
It leaves me too, I’ll love this ghost, till it leaves me, till it leaves me too
Reiteration of the commitment to love something transient until it's gone
