Haunted
Gods Paparazzi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got shivers down my spine
Yeah she never was a friend of mine
She took back all I wanted
And now I'm being haunted

Right now I'm being haunted
Right now I'm being haunted
It's a lonely place when you want it all
The highest climb is the longest fall
She is the ocean, She is the earth
She is the never ending universe

I got shivers down my spine
Yeah she never was a friend of mine
She took back all I wanted
And now I'm being haunted

Right now I'm being haunted
Right now I'm being haunted

It's a wicked game we play
When we have to choose
Somebody's got to win
Somebody's got to lose
She is the black hole
She is the sun
Gives you life then swallows you up
There's nowhere to run

I got shivers down my spine
Yeah she never was a friend of mine
She took back all I wanted
And now I'm being haunted

Right now I'm being haunted
Right now I'm being haunted




Right now I'm being haunted
Right now I'm being haunted

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gods Paparazzi's "Haunted" talk about being haunted by the memories of a person who was once in their life. The first stanza, "I got shivers down my spine, Yeah, she never was a friend of mine, She took back all I wanted, And now I'm being haunted", speaks about how this person, who was never a friend but seemed to hold something valuable to the singer, took away what they wanted, leaving them haunted by their memories. The repetition of "Right now I'm being haunted" in the chorus emphasizes how the memories keep coming back and won't let go.


The second stanza talks about how wanting everything can lead to a lonely place, and how the highest climb can lead to the longest fall. The next two lines, "She is the ocean, She is the earth", show how this person encompasses everything and is a part of everything, making it hard to escape their memory. The line "She is the never-ending universe" reinforces this idea of her presence being infinite and all-encompassing.


In the final stanza, the lyrics speak about the difficult game of choosing and how there will always be a winner and a loser. The line "She is the black hole, She is the sun" is an interesting contrast, as both are powerful and can be destructive but in different ways. The last two lines, "Gives you life then swallows you up, There's nowhere to run", emphasize the idea that this person was powerful and overwhelming, and now the singer is left to deal with their haunting memories.
