Haunt You
Ethereal Retribution: Unraveling the Haunting Tale
Lyrics
Here you are at the start, everything is so great
Expressing the initial positive state of a new beginning or phase in life.
A new house, a new life, so absurdly safe
Highlighting the safety and stability of the new life, but the use of "absurdly" may hint at an ironic tone.
Got some kids, stupid kids, a wife at the gate
Introducing the family setup, including children and a wife, with a sense of irony or dissatisfaction.
But something lurks, unseen, maybe something you ate
Suggesting a hidden threat or discontentment, possibly caused by an unknown factor like food poisoning ("something you ate").
I died
Repetition of the speaker's death and the declaration of intent to haunt the living.
I died
-I died
-I'll haunt you
-Just like a bad plot, I won't tell you why
Comparing the situation to a "bad plot" indicates dissatisfaction without revealing the specific reason.
Under floor or in a wall is where my secret lies
Hinting at a secret related to the speaker's death, possibly its location ("under floor or in a wall").
I'll come for your family first, so set them free
Threatening to target the family first, emphasizing a desire for revenge or retribution.
In some way, you alone, have clearly offended me
Suggesting that the living person has somehow offended or wronged the speaker, justifying the haunting.
I died
Repetition of the speaker's death and the commitment to haunting.
I died
-I died
-I'll haunt you
-See I can't leave this house, for me it's far too late
Explaining the inability to leave the house, implying a trapped or confined existence.
If we're going to live as one, let's get this straight
Stressing the need for understanding and setting things straight to coexist.
I can trip you up just by, moving things around
Describing the speaker's ability to affect the living by manipulating objects and causing disruptions.
And make you ethereal just like the hell I found
Expressing the power to make the living experience a state similar to the speaker's torment in hell.
