Haunted
DPS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Casting shadow upon my bones
My soul deflected and deprived
Underneath the fallen, they rise
Words cannot ease my mind
Haunted, battered, tainted
I've been deceived
Is there anyone around me?
I feel loneliness that binds me
My world deflected and deprived
Underneath the fallen, I rise
Words cannot ease my mind
Daunted, exhausted, mislead
I've been deceived
Here is something I achieved
At my most
Darker days
They will find my ways
But for now, I remain
Paralyzed insane
They will find my ways
But for now, I remain
Paralyzed insane
Inside my mind
Thoughts running wild
This pale skin bruised
Confused, abused
And defused
I will haunt your soul
At my most
Darker days
Better off dead
Like a disease you spread
They will find my ways
But for now, I remain
Haunted by this game
The lyrics to DPS's song "Haunted" portray a sense of fear and anxiety that the singer experiences as they feel hunted by "ghosts and demons" who cast "shadows" upon their "bones." The singer's "soul" feels "deflected and deprived" as they feel trapped beneath the fallen, yet they rise only to be haunted, battered, and tainted further. The use of repetition throughout the song emphasizes the feeling of being trapped and hunted, adding to the overall sense of fear and unease.
As the song continues, the singer expresses their loneliness and isolation, wondering if there is anyone around to help ease their mind. Despite the singer's attempts to rise above their situation, they feel daunted and exhausted, having been misled. The repetition of "I've been deceived" in this section highlights the feeling of betrayal and mistrust that the singer experiences.
The chorus of the song features the repetition of "they will find my ways, but for now, I remain paralyzed insane," implying that the singer is trapped within their own mind, unable to escape the haunting presence of their demons. The line "I will haunt your soul" implies that the singer is projecting their own feelings of fear and anxiety onto others, which may be a coping mechanism for dealing with their own emotional turmoil.
Overall, "Haunted" is a haunting and emotional song that speaks to the feelings of fear and anxiety that many people experience at some point in their lives. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but it is clear that the singer is struggling with their own demons and is trying to find a way to rise above them.
