Ghosts
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Apologise for the weekend
And pray to God that we'll be friends
A little loss when it's over
But it's all good when I'm sober
Burnt out but I'm focused
If I was gone would you notice?
Philosophise in the shower
Ash a cigarette in the flowers

When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars
Just know that I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
I'll be gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me

Apologise for my old ways
And pray to God that we're okay
I didn't know you were golden
'Til I tore your heart open
And I'll be home for the weekend
'Cause outside's been freezing
And everything that I wanted
Was everything that you needed

When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars
Just know that I've been gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me
I'll be gone for a while
When you realize you didn't need me
All the ghosts we've left behind
Just know that I'll be gone and you won't need me

And I've been wondering how I'm losing sleep
It's looking like you were fine for me
No matter where my soul is, I won't try
To fight these feelings every night
And I still got every right to breathe
Halfway on this road
I've been on to something new
Still, for what it's worth
Fuck, if I know what I'm doing here
'Cause I've been hunting out for something
And you've been left with nothing
This weight that's on my shoulder
It's why I'm acting colder (why I'm acting colder)
I'm holding out for something (holding out for something)
With my luck, it's just nothing (my luck, it's just nothing)
These feelings in your movement (feelings in your movement)
I'm wondering how you're doing
I won't sleep
No more
No more
No more




No more
No more

Overall Meaning

The song "ghosts" by Jeremy Zucker talks about the struggle of moving on from a past relationship. The chorus reflects the idea that both parties have moved on and there's no need for the singer to hold on to the past relationship anymore. It could be interpreted as a conversation between two people where one is apologizing for their past mistakes and mishaps while also acknowledging the fact that they were wrong in the past. The lyrics "When all you felt has frozen underneath your scars, Just know that I've been gone for a while, When you realize you didn't need me, All the ghosts we've left behind" signify that the scars have been created, but it's time to move on and forget the past.

@Antonio-nw3hd

Do you know that feeling,
When you gave her everything you had.
Every single part that I could offer.
Helping her when she was low even tho you weren’t doing well either.
Loved her more than you can ever tell.
Tried to change to become a better person for her.
And all you got is “I don’t love you anymore” “I don’t know, I just lost it”

You left like I’m nothing.
You hurt me feelings.
You tore my heart into pieces.
All the promises you made…
You killed me…
And yet…I wonder why,
I still love you.
