Haunted
Ely Buendia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
haunted by you
and there isn't anything
that I can do
from the moment I wake
to the time that I sleep
I pray the lord my soul to keep
riddled with doubt
and there's nothing I can do
but try to get out
like an old tin roof
filled with too much rain
nothing will ever ever be the same
This world is haunted
by killers and thieves
there's no one to turn to
no one to believe
we do what we can
we try to break free
even this chains and misery
This heart is haunted
haunted by you
and there isn't anything
that I can do
so I'm down on my knees
I'm beggin you please
don't take your love away from me
don't take your love away from me
don't take your love away from me
Ely Buendia's "Haunted" describes the feeling of being trapped and haunted by something, symbolized in the song by the significant other. The song talks about being haunted by the memories of past love and how it affects the person's daily life. The theme of the song is a mix of love and loss intertwined with the hopelessness that comes with feeling trapped in one's emotions.
The song starts with the lyrics that "this heart is haunted, haunted by you" and how there isn't anything that they can do to escape the haunting memories. The chorus says that they are begging for their love not to be taken away from them, indicating that the memories of the past love are powerful and make them feel trapped. The second verse continues with the metaphor of the haunting memories being similar to a head filled with doubt and confusion, which must be overcome.
In the third verse, the song moves away from the theme of love and dives into the chaos of the world. The world is also described as haunted, this time by killers and thieves, and the helplessness of one's situation is emphasized. The lyrics suggest that the situation is inevitable, and they try to break free from their chains and misery as they do what they can to survive.
Overall, the song conveys the feeling of being haunted, whether by the memories of an old love or the chaotic world we live in. It acknowledges the pain and struggles that come with such a state, but also attempts to overcome them.
