Ghost
Haunted Reflections: A Journey through Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
Where were you in this world?
The speaker is questioning where the addressed person was in the world during a certain period or situation.
Where were you? I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about the whereabouts of the addressed person.
I gave it all and you gave none
The speaker invested a lot, possibly emotionally or in terms of effort, while the addressed person did not reciprocate or contribute.
What's left inside is left undone
What remains internally for the speaker is unfinished or unresolved due to the lack of reciprocity or closure.
This time confronted , with all these ghosts I'm haunted
The speaker feels overwhelmed by memories or feelings of the past ("ghosts") that haunt them presently.
Won't you bear my shame?
The speaker wants the addressed person to share or alleviate their feelings of shame or guilt.
I made this mistake, I hate to hear these words now
The speaker regrets a mistake and dislikes hearing reminders or acknowledgments of it.
I'll walk this path no more
Expresses the decision to stop following a particular path or way of life due to the addressed person's actions or absence.
Now when you're looking down, down upon me
The addressed person seems to be observing or judging the speaker from a higher position, possibly metaphorical, creating a feeling of being looked down upon.
Well, don't you try and forget what this time
The speaker requests the addressed person not to attempt to forget the situation or memories associated with it.
Where were you in this world?
Reiteration of the initial question about the addressed person's whereabouts in the world.
Where were you? I don't know
Reiterating uncertainty about the addressed person's location or absence.
I gave it all and you gave none
Repeated expression of the speaker giving a lot while the addressed person didn't reciprocate.
What's left inside is left undone
Reiteration that the internal unresolved matters remain due to lack of reciprocation or closure.
I gave it all, you gave it none
Further emphasis on the unequal contribution in the relationship, where the speaker gave a lot and the addressed person didn't give anything.
It's been so long since you have gone
Reflecting on the long absence of the addressed person.
You had the world, you threw it out
Addressing the addressed person, accusing them of having everything in their control and then losing it.
It'll all come back too
Implying that the consequences of the addressed person's actions will eventually catch up to them.
