Haunted
Band Camino Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish we'd never met
I'm living with the ghost of you
You still visit me in bed
Got visions in my head
It's like I'm having deja-vu
I still hear you in the hallway
Voices calling my name
White noise coming from the TV
Nobody believes me that
It felt like the beginning
At least it did to me
And it is what it is
And it's just what it will be
She's all that I wanted
She's all I really need
And now this house is haunted
And she's just make-believe
Maybe it was all a dream 'cause
That's the way it seems
A flicker in the dark again
I feel like such a lonely creature
Don't know how to reach her
Don't know how to tell my friends that
I'm caught up in a delusion
Drivin' my confusion
They will think I'm losing it
White noise coming from the TV
Nobody believes me that
It felt like the beginning
At least it did to me
And it is what it is
And it's just what it will be
She's all that I wanted
She's all I really need
And now this house is haunted
And she's just make-believe
You're still here even though you're gone
You disappear when the lights come on
You're still the one that I dream about
Now I'm stuck in a nightmare and I can't get out
Hear you say my name
Feel you touch my skin
Know it's all in my head
But I keep giving in
You were the one I always wanted
You were the one that left me haunted
White noise coming from the TV
Do you believe me yet?
She's all that I wanted
She's all I really need
And now this house is haunted
And she's just make-believe
She's all that I wanted
She's all I really need
And now this house is haunted
And she's just make-believe
The lyrics of "Haunted" by The Band Camino convey the feeling of being haunted by the memory of a past relationship. The singer admits that even though he wishes he had never met the person in question, their presence continues to affect him. The use of the word "silhouette" suggests that the memory of this person still lingers, shaping his perception of reality. He describes having visions and hearing their voice, even when they are not there. The repetition of the line "nobody believes me" illustrates the struggle of trying to explain the hold this person has over him.
The chorus reflects on the intensity of the initial connection with this person. It felt like the beginning of something meaningful, but now he has to accept that it is what it is and it will remain that way. He acknowledges that she is all he wanted and needed, but now the house they shared is haunted by her absence, and she is nothing more than a figment of his imagination.
In the second verse, the singer questions whether this relationship was all just a dream. He feels lost and unable to reach the person he longs for, which has led to confusion and isolation. He fears that others will think he is losing his grip on reality. The repetition of the line "white noise coming from the TV" emphasizes the constant background noise of his thoughts and emotions.
The bridge amplifies the sense of longing and desperation. The person still feels present, even though they are gone. They haunt his dreams, and he feels trapped in a never-ending nightmare. He acknowledges that it may all be in his head, but he cannot help but give in to these persistent thoughts and feelings. The final plea to be believed serves as a culmination of his struggle to convince others of the weight this past relationship still holds on his present.
Overall, "Haunted" explores the lingering impact of a past love, the struggle to move on, and the haunting presence that can remain despite physical absence.

I still see your silhouette
I can still visualize your figure in my mind
I wish we'd never met
I regret the moment we crossed paths
I'm living with the ghost of you
I am constantly reminded of you and the impact you had on my life
You still visit me in bed
Thoughts of you still invade my dreams
Got visions in my head
I have persistent images of you in my thoughts
It's like I'm having deja-vu
I feel like I am experiencing the same thing over and over again
I still hear you in the hallway
Your voice echoes in my mind, even in the empty spaces
Voices calling my name
I perceive imaginary voices summoning me
Tell me what you want from me
Reveal your intentions and desires to me
White noise coming from the TV
The incoherent sound from the television fills the room
Nobody believes me that
No one trusts or accepts my claims
It felt like the beginning
It felt like the start of something significant
At least it did to me
At least, that's how I perceived it
And it is what it is
The reality is what it is
And it's just what it will be
And it will remain unchanged
She's all that I wanted
She is everything I desired
She's all I really need
She is the only thing I truly require
And now this house is haunted
Now this place feels filled with your presence and memories
And she's just make-believe
However, she is only a figment of my imagination
Maybe it was all a dream 'cause
Perhaps it was all an illusion because
That's the way it seems
That's how it appears to me
A flicker in the dark again
A momentary glimpse of hope followed by darkness once more
I feel like such a lonely creature
I feel like an isolated being
Don't know how to reach her
I have no idea how to connect with her
Don't know how to tell my friends that
I am unsure how to explain to my friends that
I'm caught up in a delusion
I am trapped in my own fantasy
Drivin' my confusion
Fueling my state of perplexity
They will think I'm losing it
They will believe that I am going insane
You're still here even though you're gone
Your presence remains despite your absence
You disappear when the lights come on
You vanish when the surroundings are illuminated
You're still the one that I dream about
You are the subject of my dreams
Now I'm stuck in a nightmare and I can't get out
Now I am trapped in a distressing situation with no escape
Hear you say my name
I can hear your voice uttering my name
Feel you touch my skin
I can sense the sensation of your touch on my skin
Know it's all in my head
I am aware that it is all a product of my imagination
But I keep giving in
But I continue to succumb to it
You were the one I always wanted
You were the person I desired since the beginning
You were the one that left me haunted
You were the one who left me filled with lingering emotions
Do you believe me yet?
Have I convinced you of the truth?

I still see your silhouette, I wish we'd never met
I'm living with the ghost of you
You still visit me in bed, got visions in my head
It's like I'm having deja-vu
I still hear you in the hallway, voice is calling my name
Tell me what you want from me
White noise coming from the TV, nobody believes me that

It is what it is, and that's just what it'll be
She's all that I wanted, she's so unreal to me
Now this house is haunted, and she's just make-believe
Maybe, it was all a dream 'cause, that's the way it seems
A flicker in the dark again
I feel like such a lonely creature, don't know how to reach her
Don't know how to tell my friends that
I'm caught up in a delusion, driving my confusion
They would think I'm losing it

White noise coming from the TV, do you believe me yet?
She's all that I wanted, she's so unreal to me
Now this house is haunted, and she's just make-believe
Sowing truth
I was listening to this song while driving in the pouring rain surrounded by occasional lighting strikes, as an ambulance drives the other direction with its sirens on full blast, this song embodies exactly that vibe, fun in the midst of chaos, beauty in the middle of torment, expressing the pain you feel sort of under the radar, itโs funny how this song doesnโt make me think about relationships as the lyrics imply, rather i tend to pay more attention to the sound in general and not the lyrics, my mind drifts more towards the simple fun side of their music. This somehow makes me lean towards the fun side in the midst of all the trouble thatโs going on with my relationships and helps me enjoy my time and work things out rather than make a bigger issue and complain about things. Purely beautiful music.
