A Ghost In the Corner of Your Eye
Jeniferever Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That this is just where you might end,
That the last steps you take,
Could be where you took your first.
That the nights you spent forgetting,
About in which city you were in,
That they could be as bright as your memories,
Will ever get.
Will ever get.
We are surrounded by these relics,
Of a life that,
A life that no longer exists.
There are images of past days by ever crossing.
There's a ghost in the corner of your eye,
No matter how hard they shut.
Has it ever crossed your mind,
That this is just where you might end,
That the last steps you take,
Could be where you took your first.
That the nights you spent forgetting,
About in which city you were in,
That they could be as bright as your memories,
Will ever get.
So could we go to,
Where no-one ever leaves you laying.
Could we head for some place,
Where everything happens for a reason.
The scenery of somewhere else.
I wish things were that simple,
That leaving solves everything.
That departing covers mistakes you've made,
The wrong turns you took years ago,
That leaving solves everything.
The scenery of somewhere else.
I wish things were that simple,
That leaving solves everything.
That departing covers mistakes you've made,
The wrong turns you took years ago,
That leaving solves everything.
The song "A Ghost in the Corner of Your Eye" by Jeniferever is a contemplative reflection of the human experience of life and the passage of time. The opening verse questions the significance of our movements through life and the places we end up in. The lyrics suggest that the destination we reach may be where we began and the events that followed were merely a journey to bring us back full circle. The artist urges us to cherish what we have and to appreciate the good moments that we experience, as they may not be as bright as our memories.
The second verse explores the idea of our lives being surrounded by relics, remnants of a life that was lived but no longer exists. The imagery in the song encourages us to reflect on our past and to see how our present is influenced by the choices and experiences we have made before. The ghost in the corner of your eye is a metaphor for memories and experiences that can never truly be forgotten or erased, no matter how much we try to let go of them.
The chorus of the song yearns for a place where we can find comfort and simplicity, where all events happen for a reason. The artist expresses a longing to escape from the complexities of life and to find a place where everything makes sense. However, in the end, the song acknowledges that leaving or departing cannot solve everything, and the chorus repeats that leaving does not necessarily cover the mistakes we have made in the past.

The scenery of somewhere else.
The landscape of a different place
I wish things were that simple,
I desire things to be less complicated

That leaving erases the errors you've committed
