Ghost Town
J-Wright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up bright and early half asleep while sipping coffee
Drank last night to ease my worries now I barley feel like talking
Swear I'm feeling like a Martian
I've been needing hella space
Want success before my coffin
In my mind I'm just a waste
Moved to higher population
I'm still feeling so alone
Constant over thinking about where I'm gonna go
They say I gotta take my time
But I don't want to waste my life

They say slow down
Watching from a high at the road now
No one drives by its a ghost town
These days I'm feeling like a ghost now
They say slow down
Watching from a high at the road now
No one drives by its a ghost town
These days I'm feeling like a ghost now

I've been working on my self
But your judgement never helps
Put emotions in a safe
Close and seal it with a weld
Threw my problems on the shelf
And I focused on you first
Try to give them what they want
While diminishing my worth
Everyday
I've been learning whose my homie
Wide awake
And I'm feeling hella lonely
I don't pray
Still feel god is gonna show me please
Show me show me now yeah

Slow down
Watching from a high at the road now
No one drives by its a ghost town
These days I'm feeling like a ghost now
They say slow down
Watching from a high at the road now




No one drives by its a ghost town
These days I'm feeling like a ghost now

Overall Meaning

In J-Wright's song "Ghost Town," the lyrics capture the artist's feelings of isolation, existential questioning, and the pressure to succeed. The opening lines depict a weary and half-awake state, fueled by last night's drinks to temporarily alleviate worries. J-Wright describes feeling like a Martian, emphasizing his need for space and isolation. He yearns for success before his death, yet battles with self-doubt, viewing himself as a waste. Moving to a higher population hasn't alleviated his loneliness; in fact, he constantly overthinks and wonders about his future. Despite conventional advice to take his time, he fears wasting his life, which heightens the urgency he feels.


The chorus repeats the idea of slowing down and observing life from a distance, as if watching a ghost town where no one drives by. The desolate atmosphere mirrors his internal emotional state, further emphasizing his disconnectedness from the world. He reflects on his efforts to improve himself, yet acknowledges that others' judgments have not been helpful. In an attempt to please others, he's sacrificed his own emotional well-being and self-worth. With each passing day, he recognizes who truly supports him but also feels incredibly lonely. He admits to not praying, yet maintains a belief that God will eventually reveal a path for him.
