Haunted
Beyonce [mp3crazy.ru] Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The winner is
Beyonce Knowles female pop vocalist!
I would like to thank the judges for picking me
My parents who I love
I love you Houston
And I've been drifting off on knowledge
Cat-calls on cat-walks,
Man these women getting solemn
I could sing a song for a Solomon or Salamander
We took a flight at midnight and now my mind can't help but wander
How come?
Spoon-fed pluralized eyes to find the beaches in the forest
When I'm looking off the edge,
I preach my gut it can't help but ignore it
I'm climbing up the walls cause all the shit
I hear is boring
All the shit I do is boring
All these record labels boring
I don't trust these record labels I'm torn
All these people on the planet
Working 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
The 9 to 5, just to stay alive
All the people on the planet
Working 9 to 5 just to stay alive
How come?
What goes up, ghost around
Goes around around around around
What goes up, ghost around
Ghost around around around around
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und ah-rou-ou-und
Soul not for sale
Probably won't make no money off this, oh well
Reap what you sow
Perfection is so... Mm
It's what you do
It's what you see
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
It's where we go
It's where we'll be
I know if I'm on to you, I'm on to you
On to you, you must be on to me

My haunted lungs
Ghost in the sheets
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
My wicked tongue, where will it be?
I know if I'm on to you, I'm on to you
On to you, I'm on to you
On to you, you must be on to me

You want me?
I walk down the hallway
You lucky?
The bedroom's the wrong way
Slap me, I'm pinned to the doorway
Kiss, bite, foreplay

My haunted lungs
Ghost in the sheets
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
My wicked tongue, where will it be?
I know if I'm on to you
You must be on to me

It's what we see
I know if I'm haunting you
You must be haunting me
It's where we go
It's where we'll be
I know if I'm on to you, I'm on to you
On to you, I'm on to you

You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)
You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)
You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)
You must be onto me
(Onto you, I'm onto you)

Me (onto you, I'm onto you)
Me (onto you, I'm onto you)
Me (onto you, I'm onto you)




Me (onto you, I'm onto you)
Me (onto you, I'm onto you)

Overall Meaning

The opening of the song starts with a speech by Beyonce as if she has won some kind of award. But then she juxtaposes this with cat-calls on catwalks, and how women are being objectified. She showcases her ability to sing for anyone, even for a “Solomon” or a “Salamander”. She then explores how she’s feeling ‘haunted’ and, despite jetting off somewhere new on a midnight flight, her mind is still wandering.


Throughout the song, Beyonce expresses the mundanity of everyday life for most people. The chorus about working 9 to 5 just to stay alive is a reference to the classic song by Dolly Parton, but in this context, it takes on a more sinister tone. Beyonce seems to be expressing frustration and, personally, is climbing the walls as she hears boring stories from people and record labels. However, she finds solace in the fact that her soul is not for sale; she will make the music she wants to make, even if it doesn’t make any money.


The lyrics of “Haunted” describe the feeling of disconnection and disillusionment that accompanies the pressure and scrutiny of life in the public eye. Beyonce uses metaphors like a “haunted” soul and “ghosts” to describe how her inner turmoil follows her around. The song communicates an important message about the challenges that women face in the music industry, including objectification, loss of privacy, and unrealistic beauty standards.
