Ghosts
Juliette Lewis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could not believe the things you said
You left me all alone crying and walked away
I could not escape the fate of the killing floor
So heavy, heavy, heavy
So heavy, heavy, heavy
It?s heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Surrender all your dreams and madness and come sing
Wherever you are, wherever you are, you?re a ghost to me now
You?ll never knock again
When all I ever wanted was to call you my friend
Heavy, heavy, heavy
So heavy, heavy, heavy
So heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
Heavy, heavy, heavy
So heavy, heavy, heavy
The lyrics of Juliette Lewis's song "Ghosts" express feelings of pain and loss due to someone walking away and leaving the singer alone. The cold wind blowing through her head symbolizes the emotional numbness and confusion she experiences. She cannot believe the hurtful things that were said, and the person's departure has left her crying and feeling helpless. She feels trapped and unable to escape the pain, just like a victim facing their fate on the "killing floor." The repetition of "heavy" emphasizes the weight of the situation and adds to the overall feeling of despair. The lines "Surrender all your dreams and madness and come sing" suggest that despite the difficult circumstances, the singer is calling for the person to come back and join her in song, symbolizing a return to happier times.
Overall, the song captures the feeling of loss and loneliness that comes from losing someone close. The use of symbolism and repetition effectively convey the weight of emotions that the singer is feeling.
