Ghostin
Ariana Grande Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I try to hold it in the night
While you're sleepin' next to me
But it's your arms that I need this time (This time)
Look at the cards that we've been dealt
If you were anybody else
Probably wouldn't last a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
Though I wish he were here instead
Don't want that living in your head
He just comes to visit me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
There's so much to look forward to
What was done and what was said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you)
Baby, you do it so well
You been so understanding, you been so good
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
Admit that it hurts you, baby
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
Over him, mmh
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
'Stead of ghostin' him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
The lyrics of Ariana Grande's song "Ghostin" touches on the complexities of grief, healing, and love. The song speaks to the singer's inner struggles as she deals with the pain of losing her ex-boyfriend and trying to move on with her current partner. Grande sings about how she feels guilty for hurting her new partner as she struggles to come to terms with her feelings for her ex-partner. The lines "And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to, admit that it hurts you" shows how she is aware that her partner is hurting but is trying to be strong for her.
The chorus is poignant as she acknowledges how her current partner is affected by her pain and how it breaks his heart to see her cry over her ex instead of moving on. The lines "I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again, instead of ghostin' him" reveal how she understands that her partner is willing to support her through her pain, but she needs to let go of her ex-partner to completely heal.
The lyrics also highlight the theme of self-love and acceptance. The lines "Though I wish he were here instead, don't want that living in your head" show how she is coming to terms with the fact that her ex-partner is no longer a part of her present and she needs to focus on her future with her current partner.
Overall, "Ghostin" is a touching song that explores the complexities of love and healing from a painful experience.

I know you hear me when I cry
I am aware that you listen to me when I weep
I try to hold it in the night
I attempt to suppress my emotions at night
While you're sleepin' next to me
While you sleep beside me
But it's your arms that I need this time (This time)
But I require your embrace this time
Look at the cards that we've been dealt
Consider the circumstances we are in
If you were anybody else
If you were someone different
Probably wouldn't last a day
You probably wouldn't endure for a day
Every tear's a rain parade from hell (From hell)
Each tear feels like a dreadful, unending downpour
Baby, you do it so well
Darling, you handle it so skillfully
You been so understanding, you been so good
You have been kind and empathetic
And I'm puttin' you through more than one ever should
And I am subjecting you to more than anyone should endure
And I'm hating myself 'cause you don't want to
And I loathe myself because you do not want to
Admit that it hurts you
Admit that my suffering is hurting you
I know that it breaks your heart when I cry again
I am aware that it pains you when I weep for him again
Over him, mmh
About him, hmm
Instead of ghostin' him
Rather than ignoring him
We'll get through this, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
We will overcome this, I am a woman carrying
A whole lot of baggage
A lot of emotional baggage
But I love you, we'll get past this, I'm a girl with
But I love you, we will overcome this, I have
A whole lot of baggage, yeah
A lot of emotional baggage, yes
Though I wish he were here instead
Even though I desire him to be here instead
Don't want that living in your head
I do not want you to constantly think about him
He just comes to visit me
He only comes to see me
When I'm dreaming every now and then (And then)
When I dream occasionally
And after all that we been through (And after all that we been through)
And despite everything we have experienced
There's so much to look forward to
There are many things to anticipate
What was done and what was said
What was done and said
Leave it all here in this bed with you (With you)
Let us leave all of it here in this bed with you

they said - A lacklustre society, looking for slips and falls and stumbles of others,
a society that lives in misery and makes everyone beside them miserable, carrying in them malice and spreading their malice,
A society that interferes in the way of your thinking and your words and your manners
a society that interferes with your privacy, your affairs, your mentality
A society that doesn't understand the meaning of ascension, they invade the fugitives from it,
The society of thinking in the bottom, sex in their eyes is apparently flawed and shameful, and in the middle of the night they themselves as homosexuals, they make haram halal in the darkness of the night, and in the day they forbid what is halal
A hypocritical and conflicting society
A society of shame and shame and nuts
a poorly thinking society, sterile solutions,
A society that cries because of which i want to escape from this hypocritical society, I do not want to complete living among people who show peace and inside them malice and lies, I am afraid of falling and having the voices of laughing, I am afraid to go up and have the voices of the frustrated, I am afraid to live so that I do not have the voices of hypocrites, us all 🖤.

- مُجتمع باهت ، يبحثون عن الزّلات و السقوط و تعثُّر الغير ،
مُجتمع يعيش في بؤس و يجعلون الجّميع بجانبهُم بائسين ، يحملون بداخلهُم خُبثاً و ينشرون خُبثهُم ،
مُجتمع يتدخّل بطريقة فكرك و كلامك و إسلوبك ،
مُجتمع يتدخل بخُصوصيّاتك ، بشؤونك، بعقليّتك ،
مُجتمع لا يفقه معنى الصّعود ، يجتاحون هاربين منّه ،
مُجتمع تفكيرُه في الحضيض ، الجّنس بنظرهُم ظاهرياً مُعيب و مُخجل ، و بمُنتصف الليل يُضاجعون أنفُسهُم بـأنفُسهُم كَ المثلييّن ، يجعلون الحرام حلال في ظُلمة الليل ، و في النّهار يُحرمون ما هو حلال ،
مُجتمع مُنافق و مُنازع ،
مُجتمع عار و عاله و عاهه و معتوه ،
مُجتمع سقيم التّفكير ، عقيم الحلول ،
مُجتمع تبكي بسببُه الأنفُس ، أُريد الهروب من هذا المُجتمع المُنافق ، لا أُريد إكمال العيش بين أشخاص يُظهرون السّلام و بداخلهُم خُبث و كذب ، أخشى السّقوط و يُراودني أصوات الضّاحكين ، أخشى الصّعود و يُراودني أصوات المُحبطين ، أخشى العيش كي لا يُراودني أصوات المُنافقين ، تبّاً لنا جميعاً 🖤 ..
