Ghost Train
Surviving the Ghost Train: Embracing Life's Ups and Downs
Lyrics
I wake up, all alone
Feeling isolated and waking up alone
I go down, find my cigarettes
Searching for cigarettes, possibly a coping mechanism
I skin up, rub my eyes
Rolling a joint and waking up fully
Can't believe it's another rainy day
Expressing disappointment about the rainy day
Live for today it will be ok
Encouragement to live in the moment and stay positive
Do what I do and I'll pull through
Encouraging a specific behavior to overcome challenges
My world goes round and round
Life's ups and downs symbolized by a revolving world
Like a ghost train in the burning sun
Comparing life to a ghost train in the burning sun, mysterious and intense
I'm alive, I'll survive
Affirmation of being alive and resilient
And I'll fight just to prove you wrong
Commitment to fight against doubters and naysayers
I black out, lose my head
Experiencing a blackout, losing control
Touch the sun, just to make you pay
Taking risks, touching the sun metaphorically for revenge
You've had your say, now go your way
Acknowledging someone's opinion but moving on
Do what you do, I'm over you
Asserting independence and moving past a past relationship
My world goes round and round
Reiteration of life's cyclical nature
Like a ghost train in the burning sun
Repeating the ghost train metaphor, emphasizing intensity
What goes round comes round and round
Highlighting the concept of karma and consequences
And back again, if you know what I mean
Suggesting a repeated cycle of events
Everything we shared always went your way
Reflecting on a past where things favored the other person
Driven to despair by the games you play
Expressing frustration caused by manipulative games
Look what you put me through
Addressing the emotional toll imposed by someone
What you put me through
Repeating the impact of the person's actions
My world goes round and round
Restating the cyclical nature of life
Like a ghost train in the burning sun
Reemphasizing the intensity of the ghost train metaphor
What goes round comes round and round
Reiterating the idea of karma and cycles
And back again, if you know what I mean
Repeating the cycle concept and its inevitability
Look forwards, move backwards
Contradictory advice, possibly reflecting inner conflict
Move forwards, look backwards
Emphasizing the internal struggle of moving forward while looking back
Look forwards, move backwards, oh
Repetition of conflicting directions and confusion
Woah, woah
Repetitive vocalizations, possibly expressing emotional turmoil
woah, woah
-Woah, woah
-Woah, woah
