Ghost Town
Kanye West Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some day I'll, I wanna wear a starry crown
Some day, some day
Some day I wanna lay down, like God did, on Sunday
Hold up, hold up
Some days, some days
I remember this on Sunday
Back way, yeah way, way
Some day, mmm, mmm
Some day, I wanna tell everybody, some days
I wanna hit the red dot, I'll never find
Some days, some
Each one, knowing how 'm livin', smokin' marijuana
Now I'm livin' high, doin' what I wanna, some days
I've been tryin' to make you love me
But everything I try just takes you further from me
Some day we gon' set it off
Some day we gon' get this off
Baby, don't you bet it all
On a pack of Fentanyl
You might think they wrote you off
They gon' have to rope me off
Some day the drama'll be gone
And they'll pray, it's not enough
Sometimes I take all the shine
Talk like I drank all the wine
Years ahead but way behind
I'm on one, two, three, four, five
No half-truths, just naked minds
Caught between space and time
This not what we had in mind
But maybe some day
I've been tryin' to make you love me
But everything I try just takes you further from me
Oh, once again I am a child
I let it all go (go), of everything that I know, yeah
Of everything that I know, yeah
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
Yeah, and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
Yeah, and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
Yeah, and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
Yeah, and nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
"Ghost Town" is a song by Kanye West featuring Kid Cudi and 070 Shake. The chorus of the song is sung by Shake and talks about how she wants to wear a starry crown and lay down like God did on Sunday. She sings about wanting to hit the red dot and living high, doing what she wants. Kanye's verses contemplate his struggles in life and how he's been trying to make someone love him but everything he does pushes them further away. He raps about wanting to set it off and get rid of the drama, no longer wanting to be caught between space and time, and yearning for a different reality.
The bridge of the song features Kid Cudi singing, "And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free, we're still the kids we used to be". This line is repeated, along with the line, "I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed". This is a nod to the saying "once bitten, twice shy," meaning someone who has experienced a negative situation will be cautious to experience it again. Here, Cudi is expressing the opposite, wanting to experience the pain again to remind himself that he's still alive and capable of feeling.
Overall, "Ghost Town" dives into the struggles of life and yearning for something better. It speaks to the hope that we'll one day be free of our pain and drama and become the kids we used to be, before life's hardships weighed us down.

One day in the future
Some day, I wanna tell everybody, some days
One day, I want to share my experiences with everyone
I wanna hit the red dot, I'll never find
I want to achieve something that is elusive and unattainable
Each one, knowing how 'm livin', smokin' marijuana
Everyone knows I smoke marijuana
Now I'm livin' high, doin' what I wanna, some days
I am currently living the good life and doing what I want, but only on some days
I've been tryin' to make you love me
I have been attempting to gain your love and affection
But everything I try just takes you further from me
Despite my efforts, you seem to be more distant from me
Some day we gon' set it off
One day, we will make things happen
Some day we gon' get this off
One day, we will accomplish this task
Baby, don't you bet it all
Don't risk everything you have
On a pack of Fentanyl

You might think they wrote you off
You may believe that people have given up hope for you
They gon' have to rope me off
They will have to physically remove me
Some day the drama'll be gone
One day, there will be no more drama
And they'll pray, it's not enough
Even though the drama may end, it might not be satisfying to them
Sometimes I take all the shine
At times, I crave all the attention
Talk like I drank all the wine
Talking excessively or too much
Years ahead but way behind
Although I'm ahead, I still feel behind
I'm on one, two, three, four, five
I'm feeling a range of emotions
No half-truths, just naked minds
Being completely honest and transparent
Caught between space and time
Confused by one's existence within the universe
This not what we had in mind
This is not what we originally planned for
But maybe some day
However, there may be hope in the future
Oh, once again I am a child
I feel like a child again
I let it all go (go), of everything that I know, yeah
I release all that I know and hold onto
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
I am no longer in pain and feel somewhat liberated
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
We still hold onto a childlike sense of self
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
I subjected myself to pain to confirm that I am alive
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
I am no longer in pain and feel somewhat liberated
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
We still hold onto a childlike sense of self
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
I subjected myself to pain to confirm that I am alive
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
I am no longer in pain and feel somewhat liberated
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
We still hold onto a childlike sense of self
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
I subjected myself to pain to confirm that I am alive
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
I am no longer in pain and feel somewhat liberated
We're still the kids we used to be, yeah, yeah
We still hold onto a childlike sense of self
I put my hand on the stove, to see if I still bleed
I subjected myself to pain to confirm that I am alive
And nothing hurts anymore, I feel kinda free
I am no longer in pain and feel somewhat liberated
