The Ghost In This Basement
Eternal Haunting: Navigating Loss and Love in 'The Ghost In This Basement'
Lyrics
I wasn't ready to say goodbye, locked in my room on that lonely night
I was emotionally unprepared to bid farewell, isolating myself in my room on that desolate night.
Hoping that this was all a dream
Hoping that the situation is just a bad dream.
I'm not the type who ever thought about, what I would do if you figured me out
I never considered what I would do if you understood me deeply; if you love me, don't give up.
If you love me don't let go
Expressing a plea to hold on if there's love.
Don't know, I haven't gotten sleep yet, not since the day you left us on repeat yeah
Unable to sleep since the day you departed, with the memories replaying persistently.
If you love me don't let go
Reiterating the plea to hold on if there's love.
My mother's crying out her eyes and this feeling's wearing a disguise yeah
My mother is grieving intensely, and the emotional pain is disguised.
You loved me but you let go
You loved me, but you chose to let go.
But I'll go and try to rest my eyes soon, fixated on the corners of my bedroom
Attempting to find solace by closing my eyes, fixating on the room's corners.
If I loved you, would I let go?
If I truly loved you, would I have let go?
Ghost I won't forget about you, Ghost I won't forget about you
Addressing a ghost, promising not to forget, as it continues to haunt the room.
Cuz you haunt me in this room
Emphasizing the haunting presence of the ghost in the room.
Ghost I won't forget about you, Ghost I won't forget about you
Reiterating the pledge not to forget the haunting ghost.
Cuz you haunt me in this room
Stressing the ongoing haunting by the ghost in the room.
It was only a quarter after 2 when an apparition said my day was ruined
Describing a moment at 2:15 when an apparition declared that the day was ruined.
And they were ruined ever since
Reflecting on how things have been ruined since that moment.
It's sad to say that it's really such a bummer
Expressing the sadness that survival through the summer is impossible.
That I learned we can't survive the summer
Conveying the difficulty of enduring the summer season.
If you love me don't let go
Repeating the plea to hold on if there's love.
If you love me don't let go
Reiterating the plea to not let go if there's love.
Ghost I won't forget about you, Ghost I won't forget about you
Addressing the haunting ghost again, emphasizing the persistent presence in the room.
Cuz you haunt me in this room
Reiterating the pledge not to forget the haunting ghost in the room.
Ghost I won't forget about you, Ghost I won't forget about you
Emphasizing the ongoing haunting presence of the ghost.
Cuz you haunt me in this room
Stressing the haunting by the ghost, which continues to influence emotions in the room.
And I don't know what to do
Expressing confusion and a lack of direction in dealing with the situation.
Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
Acknowledging the unique and significant role of the departed as the only friend.
Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
Repeating the acknowledgment of the departed as the only friend, emphasizing the importance.
Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend you're not my only friend yeah
-Let's not pretend, Let's not pretend, Let's not pretend
-Let's not pretend
Reiterating the pledge not to forget the haunting ghost.
Ghost I won't forget about you, Ghost I won't forget about you
Emphasizing the continuous haunting presence of the ghost in the room.
Cuz you haunt me in this room
Reiterating the commitment not to forget the ghost's haunting influence.
Ghost I won't forget about you, Ghost I won't forget about you
Stressing the ongoing impact of the ghost's presence, persistently haunting the room.
Cuz you haunt me in this room
Reiterating the confusion and lack of direction in dealing with the haunting presence.
And I don't know what to do
Expressing uncertainty about how to cope with the haunting situation.
But I will take the steps to learn that I can live, I can live
Committing to take steps to learn how to live without the departed presence.
Without you
Expressing a realization that life can continue even without the departed.
