The Spirit
Laconic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see a ghost outside my window
But it looks so fake to me
The question i have is it real
I think its best not to believe

I will follow you all the way down

I saw the mother of the spirit
Crying devastatingly




I think she doesn't want to believe
I guess shes just like me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Laconic's song "The Spirit" touch on themes of belief, doubt, and the supernatural. The first line, "I see a ghost outside my window / But it looks so fake to me," suggests that the singer is perhaps skeptical of the paranormal. The line "The question I have is it real / I think it's best not to believe" expands on this idea, as the singer seems hesitant to fully embrace the possibility of seeing a ghost.


The chorus of the song, which consists of the line "I will follow you all the way down," adds a layer of intrigue and mystery to the lyrics. Perhaps the singer is referring to following the ghost or spirit, despite their doubts about its existence. Or, the line could be interpreted more broadly, as a statement of loyalty towards someone or something.


The second verse of the song brings in a new character - "the mother of the spirit." The line "I saw the mother of the spirit / Crying devastatingly" adds an emotional weight to the lyrics, suggesting that the spirit is something to be taken seriously. The final line of the verse, "I guess she's just like me," further emphasizes the idea that doubt and skepticism can be universal experiences.


All in all, Laconic's "The Spirit" is a thought-provoking and emotionally resonant song that explores the intersection of belief and doubt in the face of the supernatural.


Line by Line Meaning

I see a ghost outside my window
I perceive a vision of a phantasm beyond my sill


But it looks so fake to me
But it appears so artificial, hard to believe


The question i have is it real
The query that puzzles me is if it possess actuality


I think its best not to believe
I contemplate it is best to doubt and not accept


I will follow you all the way down
I will trail your every move to the bottom


I saw the mother of the spirit
I espied the origin of this essence


Crying devastatingly
In tears of complete and utter despair


I think she doesn't want to believe
My guess is she refuses to acknowledge the truth


I guess shes just like me
I presume she is similar to myself
