Haunt Me In The Night
Holychild Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And one time when I got home, they moved all my groceries
Dark in the night I'll open up my eyes and see
Stark in the moonlight, something floating in front of me
But you don′t have to worry, these angels keep me safe
Like when I tried to end my life, they wouldn't allow that fate
I cried as I drove home that day, I thought it all would break
Luckily the winter only leads to flowers in the spring
I don't know what it is
I don′t know what it is
I don′t know what it is about you
But I don't wanna live
No, I don′t wanna live
No, I don't wanna live without you
Every time I close my eyes
I know that you and I will never die
Inside my dreams I see you, we′re on a picnic date
Claire, Wanda, Anna, Nonna, I so appreciate
If I should ever lose my way I pray you'll guide me home
Sometimes all you really need is light to prove the path is shown
I don′t know what it is
I don't know what it is
I don't know what it is about you
But I don′t wanna live
No, I don′t wanna live
No, I don't wanna live without you
Every time I close my eyes
I know that you and I will never die
I don′t know what it is
I don't know what it is
I don′t know what it is about you
But I don't wanna live
No, I don′t wanna live
No, I don't wanna live without you
Every time I turn around
I know you'll always haunt me in the night
I′m a ghost that′s living
I'm a ghost that′s living
Inside of my dreams
In my dreams
Baby, don't you wake me
Don′t you wake me
This reality is mine
I don't know what it is
I don′t know what it is
I don't know what it is about you
But I don't wanna live
No, I don′t wanna live
No, I don′t wanna live without you
Every time I close my eyes
I know that you and I will never die
I don't know what it is
I don′t know what it is
I don't know what it is about you
But I don′t wanna live
No, I don't wanna live
No, I don′t wanna live without you
Every time I turn around
I know you'll always haunt me in the night
Every time I close my eyes
I know that you and I will never die
Every time I turn around
I know you'll always haunt me in the night
The song "Haunt Me In The Night" by HOLYCHILD explores the feeling of being haunted, not by a scary supernatural entity but by memories and emotions that linger on. The lyrics talk about how sometimes when the singer is alone, they feel someone next to them, and when they opened their eyes, they saw something floating in front of them. These experiences suggest that the presence of the person they miss is still with them in some way. Even when they dream, the missing person appears, and they feel reassured that they will never die.
The lyrics reflect a need for closure and the overwhelming feeling of loss. The singer acknowledges that they do not know what it is about the person that has such a hold on them, but they know they don't want to live without them. The lyrics capture the longing for the person they miss but recognize that the reality of the situation is that they are gone. Hence, the line, "I'm a ghost that's living inside of my dreams." They acknowledge the living nightmare of being haunted by the memory of the person they miss.
Overall, the song "Haunt Me In The Night" by HOLYCHILD talks about the different ways that people deal with loss. Sometimes the only way to move past a painful and traumatic experience is by acknowledging that the person we love has left this world, accepting it as a reality, and learning to live with the memory of their presence.
