Weight Of It All
Handsome Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been underneath
the weight of it all
nights get heavy, stumble badly down,
to the street.
Where we're headed
all this pavement pounds
But you're asleep.
I'm down in the place where you left me,
I know everyone in this town.
You call and you talk to me calmly,
Youre out with the sound of a crowd.
I'm faded in someone's apartment,
You're weak to a ghost on the wall.
I'll stop when I know how it started,
I'll drop with the weight of it all.
Tell me, where have you been?
You've been underneath, still digging in.
Broken pieces, we will rise again, from the dust.
Know not beating, even buildings bit, for what it's worth.
You're down in the place where I left you,
You're out with your station friends.
You tell the the way which you've been through,
you're lost when you love it again.
You're faded in someone's apartment,
I'll wave to a ghost on the wall.
You'll stop when you know how it started,
You'll drop with the weight of it all.
All my best is yet to come
Can we forget the last six months
I'm pulling myself together.
Roads to oceans lets retrace,
The moments I had half a waste
I'm going to be better...
I'm down in the place where you left me,
I know everyone in this town.
You call and you talk to me calmly,
You're out with the sound of a crowd.
I'm faded in someone's apartment,
You're weak to a ghost on a wall.
I'll stop when I know how it started,
I'll drop with the weight of it all.
I'll drop with the weight of it all.
I'll drop with the weight of it all.
I'll drop with the weight of it all.
In Handsome Ghost's "Weight Of It All," the lyrics paint a picture of two people who are struggling with the weight of their problems. The opening line, "Tell me, who's gonna fall," sets the tone for the rest of the song. It's as if the weight of their problems is a physical burden that they are both carrying, and they are both on the verge of collapsing under its pressure. The singer admits he's been "underneath the weight of it all," while the other person is "still digging in."
The chorus continues this theme of feeling weighed down by life's struggles. The singer talks about how the "nights get heavy" and how he stumbles "badly down to the street," showing how the weight of their problems is affecting their ability to function on a day-to-day basis. They both seem lost and are walking around like zombies or ghosts.
The second verse is where we see the most hope. The singer says they will rise again from the dust, indicating that they are determined to keep going, no matter how much they are struggling. The line "even buildings bit, for what it's worth" seems to suggest that even though things may be tough now, they will eventually get better. The hope that they will be able to overcome their problems and become "better" is palpable in the final lines of the song.
