Lyrics
Only eyes like yours can see ghosts
Only someone with eyes like yours has the ability to perceive intangible presences or emotions like ghosts that resemble me.
Ghosts like me
Ghosts, symbolic of the speaker's essence or emotional state, similar to intangible, lingering entities.
If you hold a gun to my head
If you threaten me with harm,
I'll laugh instead
I'll respond with laughter instead of fear or submission.
I was in love with a pop star
The speaker was romantically involved with a famous person.
Crumbling down under bloodshot, crushed eyes
Feeling overwhelmed and emotionally drained, possibly due to stress and fatigue.
I was impressed by his fucking
The speaker was impressed or captivated by the celebrity's sexual activity.
Like in movies, all in bloom, break the camera
Similar to a movie scene, everything seems perfect, but then the illusion shatters, disrupting the ideal image.
Falling over, on the pavement
Falling down, possibly metaphorical, indicating a decline or failure.
Make a mess, heart broke, crushed in the rubble
Making a mess, feeling heartbroken, and emotionally shattered in the ruins of the relationship.
Suddenly kissed in the filter
Unexpectedly kissed or touched in a way that distorts reality or perception.
Frightened 404, licking on his acid skin
Feeling scared and lost, experiencing a sense of disconnection (404 error), perhaps due to being close to someone unpredictable.
Only eyes like yours can see ghosts
Reiteration: Only someone with eyes similar to yours can perceive the emotional depth or turmoil within the speaker.
Ghosts like me
The speaker, akin to a ghost, is difficult for most to understand or perceive.
If you hold a gun to my head
Even under duress or threat,
I'll laugh instead
The speaker's response would be laughter instead of fear or compliance.
Under a crumbling sky
Amidst a collapsing or deteriorating environment,
I feel insane
The speaker feels mentally unstable or disoriented.
Under a clear blue sky
In contrast, even under a pleasant or seemingly perfect situation,
It feels the same
The speaker experiences the same instability or emotional turmoil.
Only eyes like yours can see ghosts
Reiteration: Only someone with eyes like yours can comprehend the presence or emotional state of the speaker.
Ghosts like me
The speaker, likened to a ghost, is challenging for most to understand or empathize with.
If you hold a gun to my head
Even in a threatening scenario,
I'll laugh instead
The speaker's reaction would be laughter rather than fear or compliance.
