Ghost Town
- Adam Lambert Lyrics

Died last night in my dreams
Adam goes into a dream where he dies.

Walking the streets
In his dream, Adam is seen wandering on the streets.

Of some old ghost town
The town he walks on is haunted and empty.

I tried to believe
Adam tries to have faith.

In God and James Dean
Adam looks up to God and James Dean.

But Hollywood sold out
He thinks Hollywood has become fake and corrupt.

Saw all of the saints
Adam sees all the notable people he knows.

Lock up the gates
He notices that they have sealed their fate.

I could not enter
He cannot get through to them.

Walked into the flames
As a figure of speech, Adam enters an impossible or harmful situation.

Called out your name
Adam searches for someone to rely on.

But there was no answer
Adam feels let down and helpless.

And now I know my heart is a ghost town
Adam realizes that he finds emptiness and loneliness in himself.

All the machines
Adam sees that everything is gone bad.

Had been disconnected
All hope is gone, and Adam sees no way out.

Time was thrown at the wind
Adam loses control of his surroundings and his own experience.

And all of my friends
He is all alone.

Had been disaffected
He feels abandoned and disconnected from everyone he knows.

Now, I'm searching for trust
Adam looks for someone to cling on to.

In a city of rust
He can't find that support in a crushing environment.

A city of vampires
Adam sees that the people around him are vain and predatory.

Tonight, Elvis is dead
He has no icons to revere anymore.

And everyone's spread
Nothing bonds anyone; everyone has grown apart from each other.

And love is a satire
Adam observes that even love has become a laughing matter.

There's no one left in the world
Adam becomes pessimistic about the world he lives in.

I'm gunslingin'
He decides to take on life with everything he has, fearlessly.

Don't give a fuck if I go down, down, down
He is willing to brave any consequences even if it means destruction.

I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
Adam hears an inner voice urging him onward.

Oh, my heart is a ghost town
He confirms that there is no emotion or passion left in him.

Said, my heart
Reiteration that the song's theme is what is happening to Adam's heart.

My heart is a ghost town
The feeling of isolation and absence of love is the only thing left.
