Unseen Love: A Poetic Reflection
Lyrics
There I was standing next to you
Expressing the speaker's presence beside someone.
But you couldn't see me
Highlighting the inability of the person to perceive the speaker's presence.
And when I screamed as loud as I could
Describing the speaker's attempt to communicate loudly but going unnoticed.
Well you couldn't hear me
Emphasizing the lack of acknowledgment or response from the person.
I think I may have figured it out
Indicating a potential understanding of the situation.
What's really going on
Contemplating the true nature of the situation or relationship.
Why it feels like I'm still here
Expressing the feeling of being present but emotionally detached.
But I'm really long gone
Conveying a sense of emotional distance or separation.
Ghosts are love, ghosts are secrets
Defining ghosts metaphorically as love, secrets, wishes, regrets, and memories.
Wishes, regrets, and memories
Further elaborating on the symbolic nature of ghosts.
Ghosts are stories told by the fire
Describing ghosts as narratives shared by a fire and remnants scattered at sea.
And ashes scattered at sea
Associating ghosts with both joyful and sorrowful experiences.
They're tears and laughter with your friends
Depicting ghosts as the moments we want to linger forever.
Ghosts are the days that we wish would never end
Reiterating the desire for those moments to endure.
We wish would never end
Emphasizing the everlasting wish for certain experiences.
There I was holding on to you
Describing the speaker physically holding onto someone.
But you couldn't feel me
Stressing the person's inability to sense the speaker's touch.
And when I squeezed as hard as I could
Depicting the speaker's effort to make physical contact without success.
Well you phased right through me
Highlighting the person's lack of response to the attempted physical connection.
I guess I have to haunt you now
Expressing a reluctant acceptance of the need to haunt the person.
But I don't want to
Conveying a sense of unwillingness or reluctance to take certain actions.
I guess I don't want to do anything
Expressing a general lack of motivation or purpose.
But find my way back to you
Stating the primary goal of finding a way back to the person.
Ghosts are love, ghosts are secrets
Reiterating the symbolic nature of ghosts as love, secrets, wishes, regrets, and memories.
Wishes, regrets, and memories
Continuing to explore the multifaceted nature of ghosts.
Ghosts are stories told by the fire
Describing ghosts as narratives shared around a fire and remnants scattered at sea.
And ashes scattered at sea
Associating ghosts with both tears and laughter shared with friends.
They're tears and laughter with your friends
Highlighting the emotional depth and variety encapsulated by ghosts.
Ghosts are the days that we wish would never end
Reiterating the longing for moments that never seem to end.
We wish would never end
Expressing the perpetual desire for certain experiences.
Don't forget to leave the planchette on the word goodbye
Repeated emphasis on leaving the planchette on the word "goodbye," possibly suggesting closure.
Don't forget to leave the planchette on the word goodbye
-Don't forget to leave the planchette on the word goodbye
-Don't forget to leave the planchette on the word goodbye
-Ghosts are love, ghosts are secrets
Repeating the metaphorical definition of ghosts and the wish for everlasting moments.
Wishes, regrets, and memories
-Ghosts are stories told by the fire
-And ashes scattered at sea
-They're tears and laughter with your friends
-Ghosts are the days that
-Ghosts are the days that
-Ghosts are the days that
Concluding with the repeated assertion that ghosts are the days that linger in memory.
