Loveless
Hail the Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I, can't make you love me, there's no us, just this white bird song
Will, we repel or repel so much we find us again?
But if, we become a thing of the past, then that's where I'll choose to live
It's not loveless if there's even a grain to sow
It's not loveless, that's why neither one of us will go
It's not loveless if there's even a grain to sow
It's not loveless, that's why neither one of us will go
The lyrics of Hail the Ghost's Loveless speak of the heart-wrenching pain of feeling trapped in a relationship that has lost its spark. The singer addresses their lover, who may physically be present but is already mentally and emotionally gone. The first line, "You stand in front of me but you're already gone," emphasizes the feeling of being close yet so far away. The singer then admits that they are unable to make their significant other love them, and all they have left is the memory of the love they once shared, represented by the "white bird song."
The singer then contemplates whether the couple's differences will push them apart, or if they will find a way to reconcile in the end. However, the realization that their love may not survive leaves the singer with no choice but to dwell in the past. The repeated refrain "it's not loveless" reveals the singer's hope that their love may still exist and that they will find a way to reconnect.
Overall, the lyrics of Loveless are a poignant reflection on the complexities of love, the fight to keep it alive, and the difficulty of letting it go.

You, stand in front of me but you, you're already gone, already gone
I see you in front of me, but you have already emotionally checked out of our relationship
And I, can't make you love me, there's no us, just this white bird song
I cannot force you to love me, and our relationship is merely a fleeting memory, like the sound of a bird flying past
Will, we repel or repel so much we find us again?
Will our differences push us apart, or is the intensity of our connection strong enough to bring us back together?
But if, we become a thing of the past, then that's where I'll choose to live
If our relationship ends, I will choose to live in the past memories of our love rather than move on without you
It's not loveless if there's even a grain to sow
