Dead
Ghost Bath Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And what do I have to hold onto?
Longing, but what for?
Save your time for someone more deserving
I will disappear into thin air, gone.
Loathed by all, but most of all, by myself
Am I dead yet, or simply waiting?
The lyrics to "Dead" by Ghost Bath signify a feeling of despair, self-loathing, and a sense of emptiness that has been left behind by someone who has already gone. The singer of the song is left with nothing but a longing for something that may never come back. The opening line, "you're gone, I only feel worse," shows us that the singer's state of mind has worsened since the other person has left.
The line "what do I have to hold onto?" implies that the singer has lost their sense of purpose and direction in life, the loss of which has led to this emptiness they now feel. They are longing for something, but it is unclear what exactly they are yearning for, as indicated by the line "Longing, but what for?" The singer is aware of their unworthiness and believes that their time and attention are better spent elsewhere, as demonstrated by "save your time for someone more deserving".
The final two lines "I will disappear into thin air, gone. Loathed by all, but most of all, by myself. Am I dead yet or simply waiting?" implies the singer’s feeling of isolation, as if they are ready to disappear from the world because they do not believe they are deserving of belonging. The question of whether they are dead or simply waiting shows that they are questioning whether this feeling will ever go away.
