Now you are my beloved ghost
And here I'll wait for you to sing
Then we well have eternity
A promise to keep haunting me
These gifts we'll take
The sky is ours to keep tonight
Together in this silent sleep
We are the mist that fills the air
Lie still, just to be with me
This wine from my veins
These gifts we'll take
And I'll be the kiss
The gun we'll be draining their blood again
Embrace the rest of me
We'll be racing through the night
Again, embrace the rest of me
And then we'll feast on them, celebrating
I'm not alone
I can feel your eyes on me
I'm not alone
Your soul for all the world to see
Denied another day
Life took you away
β¦I'll love you just the same
Cause you are my beloved ghost
And here I'll wait for you to sing
Then we will have eternity
A promise to keep haunting me
The sky is ours to keep tonight
Together in this silent sleep
We are the mist that fills the air
Lie still just be with me
I'm not alone
I can feel your eyes on me
I'm not alone
Your soul for all the world to see
The song "A Promise" by Chicosci is a tribute to a loved one who has passed away. The lyrics suggest that the singer's beloved has become a ghost, and the two will be reunited in eternity. The song speaks of the promises that they made to each other and the longing of the singer for the presence of the loved one. The phrase "A promise to keep haunting me" implies that even in death, the loved one's spirit will continue to stay with the singer, and they will never truly be separated from each other.
The lyrics are very poetic and metaphorical, painting vivid images of the sky, the mist, and wine that flows through the singer's veins. The lines "And I'll be the kiss, The gun we'll be draining their blood again" may refer to the intensity of the love shared between the singer and the beloved, which is strong enough to overcome anything that stands in the way of their bonding. In the final lines of the song, the singer acknowledges that the beloved may be gone physically, but their soul lives on and is visible to the world through the singer's love.
