Phantom
M.Borgard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
君の肩越し 深く胸に刺さった
どうしたら 誰も泣かずに
君を奪い去れる
瞳の奥で 揺れる波紋が
ゆらりと伝えてく
見つけて 手にした 唯一つを
愛じゃないものに 壊してしまった
確かめ 切れずに まだ焦がれる
痛みの在処を 今も捜せない
酸性の雨 緩く溶かしてく
傷付く事に 既に慣れた世界を
知ってても 明日は無くても
僕ら ただ濡れてた
時間毎に 止まる噴水
そこだけ 永遠が あるような
抱えた 守れる 物を総て
恋に触れた時 失くしてしまった
窓越し 遠くで 曇った夢
僕らは二人で 何を視ている?
踊る風 無邪気なままで
微笑みながら 追い掛けてる
季節の過ぎる 目映さに酔って
見知らぬ森に 迷い込んでゆく
惑うまま
見つけて 手にした 唯一つは
愛には成れずに きっと最後まで
抱えた 守れる 物を総て
恋に触れた時 失くしてしまった
確かめ 切れずに まだ焦がれる
痛みの在処を 今も捜せない

Line by Line Meaning
Gettin closer, to this ghost of a girl
Approaching the mysterious girl with excitement
I approached her, like a rose bud or pearl
Approaching her delicately and respectfully
She was closed up,til I opened her world
She was introverted until he made her feel comfortable
And exposed her, should've known she was down
Revealing her true self
Thought I'd teach her a few things
Thinking he knows more than her
This girl was like a professor
The girl was very knowledgeable
Had her hands all in my jeans
Getting physical intimately
Kissin all on my neck I
Kissing him sensually
Had her hands all in my jeans
Getting physical intimately
Kissin all on my neck
Kissing him sensually
Tried play it cool but I can't
Trying to hide his interest but can't
She notices that I'm sweatin
She noticed he is nervous
Had me starin oh but I blinked
Unexpectedly lost sight of her
She was gone in just few seconds, seconds yea
She disappeared quickly
She's just a phantom in the dark
She is a mysterious figure
But I saw her dancing on the floor
He saw her dancing
I might need a ransom for my heart
He feels like she has stolen his heart
Cuz she stole it and shes holdin on
He believes she is keeping his heart with her
Cuz she's a phantom, I run my fingers through her hair uh oh
He is fascinated and attracted to her despite her ghost-like presence
Not even sure if shes there cuz, she's a phantom
He is questioning if she really exists or not
I saw her beauty from a distance yea
He first saw her from afar
Then it disappeared
She vanished suddenly
Soon as I got in the position to get the image clear
Just as he was about to see her clearly
She had a donkey
She had an unexpected quirk about her
I was tryna pin the tail
He was trying to figure her out
Had the taste of a Cabernet
She had a sophisticated taste in wine
But had me blushin like a Zinfandel
Her influence over him made him feel shy
Wow, girl you fine like wine I'm
Complimenting her beauty
Tryna get me a bite like the Twilight saga
He is drawn to her like a vampire to blood, referencing the popular book series
She read me like a book
She is perceptive of his intentions
Now her highlights got my fingers runnin through em
Her hair color impresses him
Ooo down her spine I wander
He is exploring her body intimately
Travelin the curve of her back to her bottom half
He is appreciating her physical form
I tried to grab, she moved, she's the truth but the polygraph
He tries to touch her but she is elusive and mysterious
Read her body's unreal
He is captivated by her physical presence
Even concealed in a long dress
Her beauty is evident even when covered up
Stripped her with my eyes, wired
He admired her body in a lustful manner
Should've worn a bomb vest boom
He was taken aback by her beauty
Phantom, phantom, phantom
Reiterating the theme of the mysterious girl
