Haunted
Francesca Kray Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

will you still haunt me
when i'm so far from view
will you still torture me so gorgeously
please don't be so cruel

i only meant to love you for one night
then turn into a ghost
i always thought you'd fade into daylight

then no one had to know

but your eyes were like a window
that i needed to escape through
and your lips were wet and sinful
i needed to be with you

will you still haunt me
when i'm so far from view
will you still torture me so gorgeously
please don't be so cruel

i never said i'd give you anything
except my body
you left my life in ruins
you just walked right on me

but your eyes were like a window
that i needed to escape through
and your lips were wet and sinful
i needed to be with you

will you still haunt me
when i'm so far from view
will you still torture me so gorgeously
please don't be so cruel

i still see your head
on my pillow in my bed
that's when i start to fall apart
never said i'm innocent
but how long do you intend to haunt me...

but your eyes were like a window
that i needed to escape through
and your lips were wet and sinful
i needed to be with you

will you still haunt me
when i'm so far from view

will you still torture me so gorgeously
please don't be so cruel

Overall Meaning

Francesca Kray's song Haunted is an emotionally charged ballad that explores the haunting memories of a one-night stand gone wrong. The lyrics express a sense of helplessness and vulnerability as the singer struggles to come to terms with the impact of the intense passion that she shared with her lover. The song poses the fundamentally human question of whether the memories of an intense love affair will continue to haunt one even after they are no longer physically present. The lyrics give me the impression that the singer had thought that the intense feelings between them would fade away like any other casual encounter, but she still finds her lover's presence haunting her.

The lyrics also express the agony of the singer in living with the aftermath of the relationship. The words "never said I'm innocent, but how long do you intend to haunt me" suggest that the singer might have been at fault for what went wrong, but that doesn't warrant the emotional distress she's gone through since then. The words are visceral, and their emotional intensity becomes more pronounced towards the end of the song. The shifts in tone and pacing are perceptible, marked by moments of crescendo and silence, which help accentuate the emotional turmoil the singer is going through.

Overall, Haunted by Francesca Kray is an emotionally charged ballad about love, passion, loss, and the emotions that come with it. It's a powerful song that resonates with anyone who's ever experienced the pain of an intense love affair gone wrong.
