Ghost
Eternal Shadows: Unraveling the Haunting Tale in 'Ghost' by The 69 Eyes
Lyrics
I've been around in the runaway places
I've been to various places where people escape from reality.
I've seen them all where the angels bleed
I've witnessed situations where even angels suffer.
I've lost and found all your traces
I've experienced both losing and finding evidence of your presence.
I guess I tried for the reason you loved me
I attempted to understand the reasons behind your love for me.
Until you find out
This line suggests a transition or realization in the speaker's journey.
So hard to be there when you need me
Expressing the difficulty of being there for someone when they need support.
When you try not to find
Highlighting the challenge of avoiding discovery or understanding.
So hard to be there when you need me
Reiterating the challenge of being present for someone when needed.
When you try not to mind
Emphasizing the difficulty of disregarding or being indifferent.
There's no one home tonight
Suggesting an emptiness or absence, possibly in a relationship or within oneself.
Ghost
Introducing the recurring theme of a "Ghost," possibly representing a haunting presence or memory.
What comes around, the fall embraces
Describing a cycle where consequences return and are embraced by the speaker.
And seals it all 'til the winter's deep
Imagery of sealing the impact of events until a deep winter, suggesting a prolonged and cold aftermath.
What's been love, the pain replaces
Suggesting that pain replaces what was once love.
I guess I lied for the reason you loved me
Admitting to deception in the past for the sake of being loved.
Until you find out
Continuation of the transitional theme, implying an ongoing process of realization.
So hard to be there when you need me
Reiterating the challenge of being present when needed, with a focus on avoiding discovery.
When you try not to find
Repeating the idea of difficulty in avoiding the search for understanding.
So hard to be there when you need me
Reemphasizing the challenge of being there for someone while trying to remain indifferent.
When you try not to mind
Repeating the challenge of being there without getting emotionally involved.
There's no one home tonight
Indicating an empty or lonely state, perhaps echoing the sentiment from line 12.
