The name ‘Ghostly Kisses’ was inspired from reading William Faulkner’s poem ‘Une ballade des dames perdues’ and seemed like the perfect reflection of her ethereal voice.

Ghostly Kisses Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once I was the one to hold the sadness in your eyes
But I was not the one able to read into your mind
Without my mother's voice in a world of pantomime
But still,
Time stood still
I still believe in us
In some way I want to
For blood reasons
I'll always have second thoughts
In some way I have to
Héloïse, what has become of us?
Héloïse, what has become of us?
I was not the one to understand
I was not the one who took the devil by the hand
Why was I the one who had to make the sacrifice?
Why was I the one who saw the truth that you deny?
For blood reasons
I still believe in us
In some way I want to
For blood reasons
I'll always have second thoughts
In some way I have to
Héloïse, what has become of us?
Héloïse, what has become of us?
In Ghostly Kisses's song Heloise, the singer expresses heartbreak, confusion and resentment towards someone they loved deeply named Heloise. The first verse sets up the dynamic between the singer and Heloise - the singer used to be the one to understand and comfort Heloise when she was sad, but now feels like an outsider who cannot grasp her thoughts and feelings anymore. The line "Without my mother's voice in a world of pantomime" suggests that the singer feels lost and exposed without their mother's guidance.
The chorus repeats the singer's plea to Heloise ("Heloise, what has become of us?") and introduces the concept of "blood reasons". This phrase suggests a familial tie between the singer and Heloise, and implies that the relationship between the two is more complex than just a romantic one. The second verse indicates that the singer feels betrayed by Heloise, blaming her for choosing the "devil" over them and questioning why they had to be the one to suffer the consequences of her actions.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing for a past connection and a frustration with the present reality. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the singer's confusion and desperation to understand what went wrong between them and Heloise.
