Haunted
Mr Little Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Insanity
You didn't even flinch
And my heart is breaking still
As millions of reasons
Drown in a spill
From yesterday don't worry
A flick of a switch
From color to cold
Your blood's running dry
And I'm haunted
No longer around
No longer to me
No longer tripping up a fallen
Moonlit now
The land of snow
Un-invite me in
And my heart is breaking still
As millions of reasons
Drown in a spill
From yesterday don't worry
I'll keep pretending I will
A flick of a switch
From color to cold
Your blood's running dry
And I'm haunted
Undo I can't but I'll learn
Trespassing guilty
I know never to return
Boreas city
Glass roads lead me to
Your 1st floor apartment
Go back, go in
Make it be forgotten
A flick of a switch
From color to cold
Your blood's running dry
And I'm haunted
The opening lines of Mr Little Jeans's song "Haunted" carry a sense of foreboding, with the singer lamenting over an unresponsive person in their life. They refer to this person as being in a "silent sleep" while the singer is plagued with "insanity". They are frustrated by the lack of a reaction from this person and are heartbroken that despite "millions of reasons", they remain indifferent. The chorus conveys a sense of being haunted by this person's absence, with the switch from "color to cold" indicating a change from something lively and vibrant to something empty and dead.
The second verse continues the theme of the person's absence and the singer's heartbreak. They describe this person as "no longer around" and no longer connected to themselves. The singer claims that they're "tripping up a fallen", referring to the fact that they're struggling to cope with the loss of the relationship. The lyrics then go on to describe a moonlit landscape, where the singer feels unwelcome and unable to connect with their surroundings.
The bridge of the song is about trying to move forward from the past. The singer concedes that they can't undo what has happened, but they will learn from it. They acknowledge their guilt and vow to never return to the situation. The song ends with a plea to forget the pain and the looming presence of the past that continues to haunt them.
