Lyrics
It started as a joke
It all began as a joke
Just one of my lucks to see
Expressing a sense of luck in observing a situation
If somehow I could reach you
Wishing to connect with someone
So I swam onto your shores
Metaphorical journey toward the person's life
Through an open window
Entering the person's world through vulnerability
Only to find you all alone
Finding the person alone
Curled up with machines
Discovering the person surrounded by technology
Now it seems youâ??re slipping
Noticing the person slipping away or changing
Out to the land of the ravine
Heading towards a metaphorical land of separation
Just take a closer look
Encouraging a closer examination of the situation
Take a closer look
Reiteration of the need for a closer look
At what it is thatâ??s really haunting you
Urging to identify the true source of haunting emotions
I hear to trust you
Advising trust in the person, not a digital presence
Not this digital ghost
Rejecting reliance on a digital representation
Look I fear thereâ??s only so much time
Expressing concern about limited time
Cause the you I knew is fading away
Noticing a change or fading in the person
Hands
Referencing physical contact through hands
Lay them on my keys
Asking for a musical interaction to reconnect
Let me play you again
Acknowledging vulnerability to the person
I am not immune to you
Recognizing susceptibility to the person's influence
And find me there and yet
Encouraging the person to find a presence
I wonâ??t go even if he
Commitment to stay despite challenges
Your heart only beats once
Emphasizing the uniqueness of a heartbeat
And switch you on my friend
Metaphorical act of reactivating the person
Pull you from that wreckage
Offering support to overcome difficulties
But only you can fight against these
Empowering the person to fight personal battles
Take a closer look
Reiterating the call for closer scrutiny
Just take a closer look
Emphasizing the importance of examination
At what it is thatâ??s really haunting you
Prompting identification of haunting elements
I hear to trust you
Reinforcing the need for trust in the person
Not this digital ghost
Rejecting reliance on a digital existence
Well I fear thereâ??s only so much time
Reiterating the concern about limited time
Cause the you I knew is fading away
Observing the ongoing fading or change in the person
Fading
Repeated emphasis on the fading nature of the person
Fading
Continued emphasis on the fading nature of the person
Fading away.
Final emphasis on the person fading away
