Lyrics
Hello to a ghost I have let go
Greeting to a past version of oneself that has been released or moved on.
Used to float around my window
Recalling a time when the mentioned ghostly presence was near, perhaps haunting or lingering.
(Float around my window)
A repetition emphasizing the ghost's presence around the speaker's window.
It's New Year's Eve tonight
Setting the scene on New Year's Eve, a significant time for reflection and transition.
If God calls me home before midnight
Contemplating the possibility of facing mortality before the new year begins.
Our epitaphs might read the same '1979-2002'
Suggesting a shared fate or destiny with someone, marked by birth and death years.
That's all they'd say about you and I
Summarizing a potential epitaph for both the speaker and their best friend.
Me and my best friend
Emphasizing the close bond between the speaker and their best friend.
Hello to a ghost I have let go
Repeating the greeting to the released or transformed version of oneself.
Used to float around my window
Recalling the ghostly presence that used to surround the speaker's window.
(Float around my window)
Reiterating the haunting nature of the ghost around the window.
I'm looking up into this endless void for you
Looking upwards into an infinite void, searching for the departed ghost.
Tell me who will fill this empty point of view?
Pondering who will replace the ghost and occupy the speaker's point of view.
But as I force myself to see the very nature of the question
Forcing oneself to confront the essence of a challenging question or situation.
I see that either you're safely in God's arms
Considering the possibility that the ghost is either in a divine embrace or perpetual rebellion.
Or in eternal insurrection
Expressing acceptance of the uncertainty regarding the ghost's fate.
Although it's been nice to hear from you
Acknowledging the positive aspect of hearing from the ghost, despite the uncertainty.
I'll rest assured in this decision
Finding reassurance in the decision to accept the unknown regarding the ghost's fate.
Hello to a ghost I have let go
Repeating the greeting to the released or transformed version of oneself.
Used to float around my window
Recalling the ghostly presence that used to surround the speaker's window.
