Detach
Ghost Key Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoping to be blinded by the truth
I am damned walking through the present
I am damned and alone because god forgot me too
Too often I become detached from myself
Forced smiles on the surface of a hollow shell
A piece of me revealed
I hide behind your expectations
But nothing stays concealed
Mistakes I've made always follow me
but looking back doesn't have to sting
I know the reason it hurts at all
Is cause' I let my past define me
I aim to fight my way out
Picking at a wound I won't let heal
Praying that comfort will find me
I aim to fight my way out
Scratchin' at the sore so I can feel
Praying that comfort will come pouring out
Too often I become detached from myself
Forced smiles on the surface of a hollow shell
What good am I if I cannot admit
That who I was is not who I am
Who I was is not who I am
Who I was is not who I am
I aim to fight my way out
Picking at a wound I won't let heal
Praying that comfort will find me
I aim to fight my way out.
Searchin' for a sign that I'm still here
Praying that comfort will come pouring out

The singer is looking for answers to their secrets, facing the consequences of their mistakes, and struggling to reconcile who they were with who they are now. The opening lines suggest that the singer is trying to gain clarity about their life by looking back, hoping that the truth will blind them. Ironically, instead of finding the truth, they feel damned and abandoned because they believe God has also forgotten them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's detachment from themselves and their struggle to maintain a faรงade of forced smiles on the surface. The singer is trying to hide behind others' expectations but realizes that nothing stays concealed. They are trying to fight their way out of their current state, picking at the wounds they won't let heal, in search of comfort. The singer acknowledges that looking back at their past mistakes doesn't have to sting, and the reason it does is that they have let their past define them. However, they aim to change this and fight their way out of this detached state, hoping to find comfort and a sign of their existence.
The song captures the struggles that come with self-discovery and acceptance. The lyrics reveal the singer's internal conflicts, the pain of facing their past, and the desire to move forward. The theme of detachment resonates deeply with many listeners, as it speaks to the feeling of being lost in one's life journey.
