Ghosts
Potemtum and Solitude Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what I want
What I'm looking for
What I need

Apparently I want to stay by myself
I used to hate loneliness
Now I yearn it
I want it
I've become short - tempered
Skeptical and doubtful
I wonder if those experiences
Brought me gains
Or brought my knees to collapse

I feel weak, vulnerable

Do I have to thank them?
Or do I have to thank myself?

Living amidst ghosts
Made me who I am
These are my shadows
I'll bring them home with me

The only one I'm obliged to
Share my existence is me
I can't even find
Two minutes of my time
To let it out
There's like a part of me that prevails
And it won't let the other speak

Living amidst ghosts
Made me who I am




These are my shadows
I'll bring them home with me
