Ghost Town
Flawes ROZES Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got my guns in the air
But there's nobody there
There's nothing to fight for anymore
We've been running on empty
But you just won't let me, let me, let me, let me go
Show me off to your friends
You love to pretend
But I'm always alone on my side of the bed

You see that it's hurts me
But you just won't let me, let me, let me, let me go
And oh now, get me out of this ghost town I'm cold now, and the silence is so loud Oh now, get me out of this ghost town
Ghost town, ghost town
We're both sitting here
We got nothing to say
Are you looking at me or are you staring at space? I'm opening doors but there's nothing behind them
You keep building these castles made out of sand You ask me to walk but you won't hold my hand We're stuck on repeat
But you just won't let me, let me, let me, let me go
And oh now, get me out of this ghost town I'm cold now, and the silence is so loud Oh now, get me out of this ghost town

Oh now, get me out of this ghost town
Ghost town, ghost town

Overall Meaning

The song "Ghost Town" by Flawes and ROZES talks about a relationship that has lost its spark, leaving the singer feeling trapped and alone in what feels like a ghost town. The song's story is framed in a sense of desperation, speaking to a relationship that now lacks communication, intimacy, and affection.

The song begins with the singer feeling helpless and alone, holding their guns up in the air, ready for a fight that nobody else seems interested in. They express their exhaustion towards chasing after the relationship, but their partner is not willing to let them go. The singer feels like they have become a mere accessory for their partner to "show off to their friends," without really being acknowledged, creating a sense of emptiness.

As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that both of them are sitting in silence, and there is nothing to say. The singer feels as though they are trying to open doors, but there is nothing behind them. The relationship is stuck in a cycle, where the partner keeps building castles of sand, but never holds onto their partner's hand. The song ends with the singer pleading to be taken out of the "ghost town" and the silence that has overtaken their relationship.

Overall, "Ghost Town" is a poignant reflection on how a relationship can lose its meaning, and two people can become isolated from each other, even though the world keeps moving around them.
