Haunted
Darren Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I think this house is haunted
I could kiss the ground with both my knees,
But I′m not the one you wanted
Hopeless romantics, cut the shit, no dramatics
Gave you bliss through the static
Lost the love, thought you had it
You're a fake, I′m an addict
Won't you make
Why don't you make the...
I could sit right here and watch you sleep,
But I think this house is haunted
I could kiss the ground with both my knees,
But I′m not the one you wanted
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Babe
Bet you watch the same movies with him
Bet you scratch the same spot on his chin
Bet you grab his wrist when you′re out with them
Say you won't, I know you will
I hope to God he gets under your skin
Cause I′ve been reaching for you, out on a limb
Trying to figure out if truth lies within
If you won't, just make the kill
Just make the kill
Just make the...
I could sit right here and watch you sleep,
But I think this house is haunted
I could kiss the ground with both my knees,
But I′m not the one you wanted
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Hopeless romantics, cut the shit, no dramatics
Gave you bliss through the static
Lost the love, thought you had it
A mistake, such a habit
You're a fake, I′m an addict
Won't you make,
Why don't you make the...
(Just make the kill. Just make the...)
I could sit right here and watch you sleep,
But I think this house is haunted
I could kiss the ground with both my knees,
But I′m not the one you wanted
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
Run out, run away
(I think this house is haunted)
The lyrics to Darren Young's song Haunted tell a story of a hopeless romantic who is struggling with a broken heart. The singer is in love with someone who does not return their feelings, and they feel haunted by the emotions they are experiencing. The opening lines, "I could sit right here and watch you sleep, but I think this house is haunted," set the tone for the song's melancholic themes. The singer is watching the person they love, but they also feel a sense of distance from them, as if they are trapped in a house haunted by the memories of their relationship.
As the song continues, the singer expresses their frustration with the situation they are in. They refer to themselves as an "addict" and accuse the person they love of being a "fake." The bridge of the song sees the introduction of the phrase "just make the kill." This is a metaphor for the singer's desire for the person they love to take action and either reciprocate their feelings or remove themselves from their life. The final repetition of the chorus sees a slight variation, with the addition of the lines "(I think this house is haunted)" emphasizing the idea that the singer feels trapped in an emotional limbo.
In summary, Haunted is a song that explores the themes of unrequited love and the emotional weight that comes with it. The singer feels trapped in their feelings and haunted by memories of their love, and they are seeking closure and resolution.
