Haunted
Poe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa
Come here
Pretty please
Can you tell me where I am
You won't you say something
I need to get my bearings
I'm lost
And the shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa

Don't cry,
There's always a way
Here in November in this house of leaves
We'll pray
Please, I know it's hard to believe
To see a perfect forest
Through so many splintered trees
You and me
And these shadows keep on changing

And I'm haunted
By the lives that I have loved
And actions I have hated
I'm haunted
By the promises I've made
And others I have broken
I'm haunted
By the lives that wove the web
Inside my haunted head

Hallways always

I'll always love you
I'll always need you
I'll always want you

And I will always miss you

Ba da pa pa ba da pa pa

Come here
No I won't say please
One more look at the ghost
Before I'm gonna make it leave
Come here
I've got the pieces here
Time to gather up the splinters
Build a casket for my tears

I'm haunted
(By the lives that I have loved)
I'm haunted
(By the promises I've made)
I'm haunted
By the hallways in this tiny room
The echos there of me and you
The voices that are carrying this tune

Ba da pa pa

What is it Annie?

You think I'll cry? I won't cry!




My heart will break before I cry!
I will go mad.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Poe's song Haunted reflect the feelings of being lost, confused, and haunted by past actions and promises. The first verse expresses a desire to understand the current situation and one's surroundings, but there is a feeling of being unable to do so because of the changing shadows. The chorus highlights the idea of being haunted by past actions and relationships, with the repetition of "I'm haunted" emphasizing the depth of this feeling. The second verse speaks to the struggle to see the beauty in life and how it can be difficult to believe in a perfect forest when surrounded by so many imperfect trees. But even amidst this struggle, there is a promise of love and the hope that the shadows will eventually stop changing.


The final verse is the most intense, with a sense of desperation in the repetition of "I'm haunted" and the building of a casket for tears. The echoes of past relationships and the voices carrying this tune suggest that the singer is struggling to move on from the past and escape its hold on her. The last line, "I will go mad," speaks to the overwhelming feeling of being haunted and perhaps the fear that it will never truly leave her.
