Ghosts
Deadmau5 VS. Sky Ferreira Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just no longer in the day dream
Of the delusion that
Once was hard between our love it seems
Lately I've been between
Being steady or a head case
What's become of us now
Hanging our hearts in disgrace
What did I do to make you so cruel
I've got this ache inside my heart
I know that it's you
What should I do now that
I know that we're doomed
I loved you most
And now you're a ghost
I walk right through
Oh remember when you said
That I was sick inside the head
I'm just half way there
My common sense hanging by a thread
I'm bad on the outside
But a coward at heart
The taste of salt in my mouth
My voice is silent
But my thoughts are right
What did I do to make you so cruel
I've got this ache inside my heart
I know that it's you
What should I do now that
I know that we're doomed
I loved you most
And now you're a ghost
I walk right through
What did I do to make you so cruel
I've got this ache inside my heart
I know that it's you
What should I do now that
I know that we're doomed
I loved you most
And now you're a ghost
I walk right through
In "Ghosts", Deadmau5 and Sky Ferreira sing about a deteriorating relationship that has left one person feeling like they are walking through a ghost, as if their love never existed. The lyrics reveal a sense of confusion and heartache as the singer desperately tries to make sense of what has gone wrong. She questions her own sanity, wondering if she is a head case or if her partner is the one who is cruel. She laments the pain and ache she feels in her heart and acknowledges that she is haunted by the ghost of a love that once was.
The song seems to capture the feeling of being lost in a relationship that has lost its way. Both singers capture the despair and confusion of a situation where once there was a strong connection, but now all that is left is pain and heartbreak. The repetition of the refrain, "What did I do to make you so cruel," highlights the singer's desperation to understand what went wrong and why it was so painful.
Overall, "Ghosts" is a powerful expression of the emotions that come with the end of a relationship. The lyrics are raw and honest, and the music captures the sense of isolation and loss that the singer feels as she tries to move on.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm not irrational
I am not being illogical
I'm just no longer in the day dream
I have stopped living in a fantasy world
Of the delusion that
Of the mistake in thinking that
Once was hard between our love it seems
Once was difficult for our love to exist, it appears
Lately I've been between
Recently I have been fluctuating between
Being steady or a head case
Being stable mentally or prone to erratic behavior
What's become of us now
What has happened to us now
Hanging our hearts in disgrace
Feeling ashamed of the state of our hearts
What did I do to make you so cruel
What action did I take to cause you to be so unkind
I've got this ache inside my heart
I am experiencing intense emotional pain
I know that it's you
I know that you are the cause of this pain
What should I do now that
What course of action should I take now that
I know that we're doomed
I know that our relationship is doomed
I loved you most
I loved you the most out of anyone or anything
And now you're a ghost
And now you are no longer here, just a memory
I walk right through
I am unaffected by your presence now
Oh remember when you said
Do you remember when you said
That I was sick inside the head
That I was mentally ill
I'm just half way there
I am only partly recovered
My common sense hanging by a thread
My ability to use good judgement is barely holding on
I'm bad on the outside
To the public I appear to be unpleasant
But a coward at heart
But deep down I am afraid
The taste of salt in my mouth
I am experiencing the taste of tears
My voice is silent
I am not speaking out loud
But my thoughts are right
But I know I am correct in my thinking
