Haunted
Elijah Blue And The Trapezoids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you hear
The silence
That calls for you
My dear?
Walk a little closer
To the dark
That pulls on your heartstrings
My dear, my dear
Underneath your pillow
There's a key
That locks all your happiness
Inside a case
My dear
Stay down and don't get up
Leave it be
Don't try to remember
What life is like
My dear, my dear
Oh dear, oh dear
Can't you see what's happening
There's no place I'd rather be
I wish I could just get up, and run away
But I cannot run I'm haunted by myself
Oh dear, oh dear
Haunted by myself
The lyrics of Elijah Blue And The Trapezoids' song "Haunted" convey a sense of melancholy and inner turmoil. The first verse speaks of a quiet, almost oppressive silence that reaches out to the listener, as if it's calling for them. The singer is encouraged to venture closer to the darkness that tugs at their heart, a darkness that seems to hold some sort of allure or familiarity. It's as if they are being drawn towards their own inner demons or unresolved emotions.
In the second verse, there is a mention of a key hidden underneath a pillow, symbolizing the suppression of happiness or joy. The singer is advised to stay down, to not try to remember what it feels like to truly live and be alive. It suggests a resignation or acceptance of a state of haunting, where they are trapped in their own thoughts and haunted by their own actions or past. The repetition of "my dear" throughout the lyrics adds a touch of sadness and longing, as if the singer is addressing themselves or someone they deeply care about.
Overall, "Haunted" explores the internal struggle of being trapped in one's own haunting thoughts and emotions, unable to escape or find solace.

In between your breath
Amidst the moments of silence and introspection
Can you hear
Are you able to perceive
The silence
The absence of sound and distractions
That calls for you
That beckons and invokes a response
My dear?
My beloved?
Walk a little closer
Approach with cautious curiosity
To the dark
To the unknown, the mysterious
That pulls on your heartstrings
That tugs at the emotions and desires within you
That pulls on you
That exerts a strong influence on you
My dear, my dear
My beloved, my beloved
Underneath your pillow
Hidden and concealed from view
There's a key
There exists an instrument of access
That locks all your happiness
That securely confines your joy and contentment
Inside a case
Within a protective enclosure
My dear
My beloved
Stay down and don't get up
Remain subdued and avoid rising
Leave it be
Let it remain undisturbed
Don't try to remember
Refrain from attempting to recall
What life is like
How existence feels
My dear, my dear
My beloved, my beloved
Oh dear, oh dear
Oh beloved, oh beloved
Can't you see what's happening
Are you not perceiving the current events and circumstances
There's no place I'd rather be
There exists no location where I would prefer to exist
I wish I could just get up, and run away
I desire the ability to rise and escape
But I cannot run I'm haunted by myself
Yet I am unable to flee as I am tormented by my own presence
Oh dear, oh dear
Oh beloved, oh beloved
Haunted by myself
Tormented and troubled by my own existence
