Ghost Woman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You always / You only / Tired of feeling pale Behind you / Will it be true / In a long black veil
Could i turn you over / Try to turn it off Left behind, i wonder
Can you turn me over / And I'll turn you off Leave me behind, i wonder
I found you / Time won't undo / Left behind again Black water / Daddies father / She didn't want to I thrill you / i kill you / tired around the neck No water / Blackbook daughter / They sit and wait




Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, it seems that Ghost Woman is addressing someone whom they deem to be constantly present in their life. The repetition of "You always, you only" suggests that this person is a constant presence or influence. However, Ghost Woman expresses weariness and exhaustion, feeling "tired of feeling pale behind you." This could indicate that this person's presence has overshadowed Ghost Woman and made them feel insignificant.


The line "Will it be true in a long black veil" suggests that Ghost Woman is questioning if this person's intentions are genuine or if they are hiding something behind a façade. The image of a "long black veil" evokes a sense of secrecy or concealment. Perhaps Ghost Woman is longing for honesty and authenticity in their relationship and wondering if this person is capable of that.


The following lines introduce a desire to change the dynamic of the relationship. Ghost Woman wonders if they could "turn you over, try to turn it off." This could imply a desire to reverse the roles and regain a sense of control or agency in the relationship. They also express curiosity about what would happen if they were to be left behind, pondering "Left behind, I wonder." This could suggest a yearning for independence or a desire to break free from the hold this person has over them.


In the next paragraph, Ghost Woman proposes a role reversal and asks, "Can you turn me over, and I'll turn you off?" This line indicates a desire to switch places and have the other person experience what Ghost Woman has been feeling. They continue to wonder what would happen if they were to be left behind, once again expressing curiosity and perhaps a longing for a sense of liberation.


The final set of lyrics introduces some contrasting imagery. Ghost Woman mentions being "found" by someone, implying that they have been discovered or encountered by someone new. However, they express the belief that time won't undo the past. This line suggests a pessimistic outlook, indicating that past experiences and wounds are not easily healed or forgotten. The line "Black water, daddies father, she didn't want to" is cryptic and open to interpretation. It could imply a complex family dynamic or a reference to personal histories. As the lyrics progress, Ghost Woman talks about thrilling and killing, suggesting a desire to escape from the monotony they feel. They mention a "blackbook daughter" and "they sit and wait," which hints at a mysterious waiting or anticipation that surrounds them.


Overall, these lyrics convey a sense of weariness, longing for change, and a search for authenticity in a relationship. Ghost Woman seems dissatisfied with their current situation and yearns for liberation and a deeper connection.
