Ghost Town
Adam Lambert [www.MyFaza2Music.Com] Lyrics

Died last night in my dreams
The singer experienced a symbolic death in their subconscious mind.

Walking the streets
In the dream, the singer is wandering aimlessly.

Of some old ghost town
The setting of the dream represents a place that has lost its vitality and has been abandoned.

I tried to believe
The artist attempted to find faith and hope in their waking life.

In God and James Dean
The artist looked for inspiration in religion and pop culture icons.

But Hollywood sold out
The singer feels disillusioned by the entertainment industry and its commercialization.

Saw all of the saints
The singer witnessed all of the good, righteous people.

Lock up the gates
The door to heaven or salvation has been closed to the artist.

I could not enter
The artist was barred from accessing the afterlife or a better existence.

Walked into the flames
The artist faced destruction, punishment, or temptation.

Called out your name
The singer reached out for someone they loved or admired.

But there was no answer
No one responded to the artist's plea for help, guidance, or comfort.

And now I know my heart is a ghost town
The singer realizes that their emotional state is similar to the abandoned, lifeless town in their dream.

My heart is a ghost town
The singer's heart is devoid of love, connection, and meaning.

All the machines
The singer's reliance on technology or artificial things in their life.

Had been disconnected
The artist was cut off from the world or from their source of power or comfort.

Time was thrown at the wind
The artist lost track of time and felt that it was uncontrollable or meaningless.

And all of my friends
The people who used to support the singer have abandoned them or become disenchanted.

Had been disaffected
The singer's relationships or social network had become damaged or dysfunctional.

Now, I'm searching for trust
The artist is looking for someone or something to rely on and believe in.

In a city of rust
The environment the artist is in is decaying, corroding, or collapsing.

A city of vampires
The artist is surrounded by people who suck the life out of them or exploit them.

Tonight, Elvis is dead
The singer is mourning the loss of an influential figure or symbol of rebellion and creativity.

And everyone's spread
The people who used to be part of the artist's life have moved away or gone their separate ways.

And love is a satire
The singer feels that love is a cruel joke or a mockery of reality.

There's no one left in the world
The singer feels isolated, alone, and abandoned.

I'm gunslingin'
The singer is fighting for survival or struggling to cope with their situation.

Don't give a fuck if I go down, down, down
The artist is resigned to their fate or indifferent to their own destruction.

I got a voice in my head that keeps singing
The artist has a persistent, nagging thought or emotion that they cannot shake off.

Oh, my heart is a ghost town
The singer repeats the main metaphor to emphasize their sense of emptiness and desolation.

Said, my heart
The singer adds a brief remark to emphasize the repetition of the phrase.

My heart is a ghost town
The artist concludes the song with a somber, haunting refrain that summarizes their emotional state.
