Possession
Pastel Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
AROUND MY NECK
PULLING PEELING
TILL NOTHINGíS LEFT
SOULLESS TOXIC
ENERGY
INVADING MY BODY
I LET YOU IN
AGAINST MY WILL
WAS I WEAK
I COULDNíT FIGHT YOU
The lyrics of Pastel Ghost's song "Possession" explore the theme of possession and the struggle to resist a toxic force that takes over one's self. The first two lines, "Fingers creeping around my neck, pulling peeling till nothing's left" suggests the idea of a force slowly overtaking a person until they lose their sense of self. The lyrics continue with "Soulless toxic energy invading my body to feel something" which implies that this force taking over the body is harmful, with the intent of causing pain.
The third and fourth lines "I let you in against my will, was I weak? I couldn't fight you" suggest a struggle against this toxic entity. The internal conflict is evident in the lyrics, with the singer questioning their own strength to resist. The lyrics paint a picture of someone helpless, trapped in a battle against a force they can't control. The mood is very atmospheric and ominous, with the music accentuating the sense of dread.
Overall, the song's lyrics create a haunting, introspective atmosphere that delves deep into the psychological conflict of the individual struggling with a toxic entity. The mood is accentuated by the music, with its ethereal and haunting melody creating a feeling of unease to the listener.
Line by Line Meaning
FINGERS CREEPING
Long digits edged closer inch by inch
AROUND MY NECK
Encircled by gripping palms that squeezed tighter and tighter
PULLING PEELING
Tugging unrelenting, tearing away pieces of my own being
TILL NOTHING'S LEFT
Until there's absolutely nothing noticeable or unspoiled remaining
SOULLESS TOXIC
A poisonous influence bereft of morals
ENERGY
A potent spark in search of a host
INVADING MY BODY
Invading and stealthily seizing my vessel
TO FEEL SOMETHING
In a desperate endeavor to encounter any sensation
I LET YOU IN
I acquiesced and allowed entrance
AGAINST MY WILL
Despite my true intentions and willpower, I was overpowered
WAS I WEAK
Am I truly spineless and powerless?
I COULDN'T FIGHT YOU
Utterly unable to struggle and resist your overpowering force

@mochii.-
Pastel Ghost es una artista muy talentosa pero está muy infravalorada, apoyemos su música para que sea más reconocida porque lo merece, ella marca parte de la historia de la evolución de la música electrónica y sus raíces siendo parte de ellas, como un gran fan de Pastel Ghost digo que todos nos reunamos para apoyarla.

Being just the wrong side of middle-age it can sometimes take a lot to make an impression the first time I hear an artist. This really has and I 100% enjoyed every track on the album. Thank you very much for positively expanding my lifelong love of good music!

As a person deep into the wrong side of middle age, I concur.
