Dillistone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But turning back time won′t make things shine
Time is a line I know that
And love is a lie I know that
Spend all of my time
Tryna forget you
Spend every night in my mind trying to get you
But people are hard I know that
Shadow in the room, feels like you
An echo in the hall, sounds like you too
I'm stuck with talking walls all night
I′m cursed
Oh, I'm cursed
Baby I need you
To tell me you hate me
Tell me I'm not going crazy
Haunted
Whenever I sleep you here with me
Baby I try to tell you I′m sorry
Words won′t do any justice
Haunted
By all the things we used to be
Haunted
Haunted
Holy water wash away all my sins
At the bottom of the bottle you can find me
Been trying to drown your damn voice out
It's been getting way too loud
It kills me but I can′t have you around
Shadow in the room, feels like you
An echo in the hall, sounds like you too
I'm stuck with talking walls all night
I′m cursed
Oh, I'm cursed
Baby I need you
To tell me you hate me
Tell me I′m not going crazy
Haunted
Whenever I sleep you here with me
Baby I try to tell you I'm sorry
Words won't do any justice
Haunted
By all the things we used to be

Haunted by memories of a lost love, the lyrics of Dillistone's song "Haunted" express regret and longing for a relationship that has ended. The opening lines express a desire for a chance to go back in time and undo past mistakes, but the reality of time's unyielding nature sets in. The singer acknowledges the pain of love and the scars it leaves. The haunting presence of the lost loved one is felt throughout the song, with references to their voice, their shadow, and their echo. The singer is tormented by the memory of their love and feels cursed, unable to escape their presence.
The chorus of the song is a plea to the lost loved one to acknowledge the pain and confusion that they feel. The singer needs to hear that they are hated, to be assured that they are not the only one suffering, and that the lost loved one feels the same. The haunting presence of the lost loved one is felt even in sleep, where they appear as a constant presence by the singer's side. With all attempts at drowning out their voice failing, the singer is left feeling trapped in a state of haunting by the memories of what once was.

Wish I could take it all back
I regret what I did
But turning back time won′t make things shine
I can't change the past
Time is a line I know that
Time moves forward and we can't change what's already happened
And love is a lie I know that
I no longer believe in love
Spend all of my time
I waste all my time
Tryna forget you
I try to forget about you
Spend every night in my mind trying to get you
I think about you every night
But people are hard I know that
People are difficult to deal with
And love leaves you scarred I know that
Love can hurt you and leave you with emotional scars
Shadow in the room, feels like you
I feel your presence in the room
An echo in the hall, sounds like you too
I hear your voice in the hallway
I'm stuck with talking walls all night
I'm alone and surrounded by walls
I′m cursed
I feel like I'm under a curse
Baby I need you
I miss you
To tell me you hate me
I want you to tell me that you hate me
Tell me I'm not going crazy
I need reassurance that I'm not losing my mind
Haunted
I feel haunted by our past
Whenever I sleep you here with me
I dream about you when I sleep
Baby I try to tell you I′m sorry
I want to apologize to you

Holy water wash away all my sins
I want to be forgiven for my mistakes
At the bottom of the bottle you can find me
I drink to try and forget about you
Been trying to drown your damn voice out
I drink to try and forget about the sound of your voice
It's been getting way too loud
The sound of your voice in my head is becoming overwhelming
It kills me but I can′t have you around
It hurts me to be away from you, but it's for the best
Shadow in the room, feels like you
I feel your presence in the room
An echo in the hall, sounds like you too
I hear your voice in the hallway
I′m stuck with talking walls all night
I'm alone and surrounded by walls
I′m cursed
I feel like I'm under a curse
Baby I need you
I miss you
To tell me you hate me
I want you to tell me that you hate me
Tell me I'm not going crazy
