Haunted
Css-Band 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 CSS-Band depict a haunted and tormented state of mind caused by the lingering presence of a past love. The singer is haunted by memories and experiences with someone who has left a lasting impact on their life. The opening lines, "I still see your silhouette, I wish we'd never met," express a sense of regret and longing for a different outcome. The singer feels trapped in a cycle of memories, with visions of their past lover appearing in their thoughts and dreams, creating a feeling of deja-vu.
The haunted feeling intensifies with the mention of hearing the person's voice in the hallway and feeling their presence in the house. The line "Nobody believes me that it felt like the beginning, at least it did to me" suggests that despite the presence being imagined, it still feels real and significant to the singer. They are unable to escape from the illusions and confusion, causing a sense of isolation as they struggle to explain their experiences to others.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's desire for the person they loved, as they state "She's all that I wanted, she's all I really need." However, they acknowledge that the person is now just a ghostly presence, a make-believe figure haunting their thoughts and dreams. The repetition of the line "And now this house is haunted" emphasizes the lasting impact of the relationship on the singer's emotional state.
Overall, "Haunted" explores the complexities of love and loss, delving into the haunting power of memories and the struggle to move on from a past love.

I still see your silhouette
I can still picture your shadow
I wish we'd never met
I regret ever crossing paths with you
I'm living with the ghost of you
I'm constantly reminded of your presence
You still visit me in bed
You still invade my thoughts and dreams
Got visions in my head
I have persistent images in my mind
It's like I'm having deja-vu
It feels like I'm experiencing the same thing again and again
I still hear you in the hallway
I can still imagine hearing your voice in the corridors
Voices calling my name
Voices are beckoning me by my name
Tell me what you want from me
Inform me about your desires and intentions
White noise coming from the TV
There's a constant static sound emanating from the television
Nobody believes me that
No one trusts my words that
It felt like the beginning
It seemed like the start
At least it did to me
Or at least that's what I believed
And it is what it is
The current situation is the way it truly is
And it's just what it will be
And it will remain unchanged
She's all that I wanted
She's everything I desired
She's all I really need
She's the only thing I truly require
And now this house is haunted
And now this dwelling is filled with unsettling memories
And she's just make-believe
And she's simply 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
A flicker in the dark again
A brief, unsteady presence in the darkness once more
I feel like such a lonely creature
I perceive myself as a solitary being
Don't know how to reach her
I'm unaware of how to connect with her
Don't know how to tell my friends that
I'm uncertain of how to inform my friends that
I'm caught up in a delusion
I'm trapped in a false belief
Drivin' my confusion
Causing my perplexity
They will think I'm losing it
They will believe I'm going insane
You're still here even though you're gone
You still occupy my thoughts despite your absence
You disappear when the lights come on
You vanish when illumination surrounds me
You're still the one that I dream about
You're still the person who fills my dreams
Now I'm stuck in a nightmare and I can't get out
Now I'm trapped in a horrifying experience and unable to escape
Hear you say my name
Hear you utter my name
Feel you touch my skin
Sense your touch on my flesh
Know it's all in my head
Realize it's all a creation of my mind
But I keep giving in
But I continue to surrender to it
You were the one I always wanted
You were the person I constantly desired
You were the one that left me haunted
You were the one who left me filled with haunting memories
Do you believe me yet?
Are you convinced of my words now?

@callmebee2133
This is nuts, this video was pre loaded on my Zune when I was an early teen. This had to be 13 or so years ago. I was obsessed with this music video, but after a few months my Zune crashed. I never knew the name of the song or the band and could never remember any lyrics.
It's been nearly 15 years. Every now and then I would try googling things, because all I could remember for sure was the paper ghost in the beginning. And I just now, after over a decade, finally found it. Crazy nostalgia happening to me right now.
