Ghost in the Room
Haunted Memories: A Melancholic Tale of Love's Ghost
Lyrics
There’s a ghost in this house, In every damn room
There’s a presence of haunting memories throughout this house.
I know no one is there, But good lord I swear
Despite rational understanding, there's a strong conviction of sensing a familiar presence.
She looks just like you
The apparition resembles the person being addressed.
She comes dancing in, Like you used to do
The ghost mirrors past actions and behaviors, reminiscent of the addressed person's previous mannerisms.
Wearing your favorite dress, putting me to the test
Recollection of familiar elements, like clothing, and a sense of being tested by these memories.
As I smell your perfume
A sensory recall, reminiscent of the person's fragrance, deepening the haunting feeling.
Call me a priest, a preacher or two
Desperation for spiritual intervention to rid the house of this haunting presence.
Someone get holy water, A gallon will do
A plea for purification, using symbolic holy water to cleanse the environment.
Alone in this house, and it feels more like a tomb
The solitude in the house amplifies the sense of emptiness and despair.
I don’t rest in peace, not knowing if she cares
The inability to find peace due to uncertainty about the ghost's feelings.
Only dead thing about her, Is the love we once shared
The only aspect of the ghost that's deceased is the past love shared.
Her memory still haunts me, I can’t take this taunting
The memories of the person haunt, causing distress and mental torment.
There's a ghost in the room
Reiteration of the presence of a haunting spirit in the room.
Well, I walk down the halls
Walking through the house brings encounters with spaces that were once filled with memories.
And see empty frames
Seeing frames that used to hold cherished moments, now devoid of those memories.
Once filled with good times
Reflecting on the past joyful times that have elapsed.
That are now passed away
The reminiscence of good times that have now come to an end.
Her scents on my pillow But her heart didn’t stay
Physical remnants of the person's presence linger, though emotionally departed.
Skeleton’s in the closet, and if I’m being honest
Admitting personal responsibility for the separation or loss of the person.
I drove her away
Acknowledgment of actions that drove the person away.
Call me a priest, a preacher or two
Repeated call for spiritual assistance to alleviate the haunting presence.
Someone get holy water, A gallon will do
Continued plea for purification using symbolic holy water.
Alone in this house, and it feels more like a tomb
The isolation intensifies the feeling of the house being a place of death rather than life.
I don’t rest in peace, not knowing she cares
The inability to find peace due to uncertainty about the ghost's emotional state.
Only dead thing about her, Is the love we once shared
Emphasizing that the only aspect of the past love that remains is its demise.
Her memory still haunts me, I can’t take this taunting
The memories continue to emotionally torment, creating distress.
There's a ghost in the room
Reiteration of the presence of a haunting spirit in the room.
Call me a priest, a preacher or two
Repeated plea for spiritual intervention to alleviate the haunting presence.
Someone get holy water, A gallon will do
Continued plea for purification using symbolic holy water.
Alone in this house, and it feels more like a tomb
The isolation intensifies the feeling of the house being a place of death rather than life.
I don’t rest in peace, not knowing if she cares
The inability to find peace due to uncertainty about the ghost's emotional state.
Only dead thing about her, Is the love we once shared
Emphasizing that the only aspect of the past love that remains is its demise.
Her memory still haunts me, I can’t take this taunting
The memories continue to emotionally torment, creating distress.
There's a ghost in the room
Reiteration of the presence of a haunting spirit in the room.
Her memory still haunts me, I can’t take this taunting
Continued emotional torment due to lingering memories of the person.
There's a ghost in the room
Final confirmation of the haunting presence in the room.
