Haunted
Rejhan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like when we talked about forever and we made all those plans
I think you gave a million reasons, still, I don't understand
How this thing that fit so perfectly slipped out of my hand
Thought time would set me free
Save me now, I'm haunted
'Cause no matter where I go
I'm still runnin' from your ghost
And every day is colder
So wake me up when it's over
Still, no matter what I do
It always leads me back to you
Those never-ending summer nights when you were with me
When we slept under the stars, you lost your purse and your keys
How we used to catch the moment, now it's all memories
Oh, will I ever be whole again? I'm missin' your piece
Thought time would set me free
Save me now, I'm haunted
And this was not what I wanted
'Cause no matter where I go
I'm still runnin' from your ghost
And every day is colder
So wake me up when it's over
Still, no matter what I do
It always leads me back to-
Hours in the bed without a thought of gettin' up
'Cause only you and me were enough
It's all that I know
And it's so hard to let go
Save me now, I'm haunted
And this was not what I wanted
'Cause no matter where I go
I'm still runnin' from your ghost
And every day is colder
So wake me up when it's over
Still, no matter what I do
It always leads me back to you
In "Haunted," Rejhan reminisces about a past relationship and the bittersweet memories that now haunt her. She remembers every conversation she had with her former partner, including talk of forever and making plans together. She expresses confusion about how something that fit so well together could slip out of her hands. Rejhan had believed that time would set her free from these memories, but this has not been the case.
The chorus reveals that regardless of where she goes, she feels like she's still running from her ex and the memories they shared. She's haunted and struggling to move on from the past. Each day feels colder, and she hopes to be saved from the pain. The middle eight speaks of the hours spent lying in bed with her partner, the moments of pure joy that they shared. Despite the pain of losing this person, Rejhan finds it hard to let go because that person was truly all that she knew.
Overall, "Haunted" is a powerful love ballad that contrasts the pain and longing of lost love with the beauty and wonder of the experiences shared. The song explores the idea that our memories and emotions can often be our greatest obstacles when moving forward.

We once discussed eternity and made various plans
I think you gave a million reasons, still, I don't understand
Although you presented many motives, I am unable to comprehend
How this thing that fit so perfectly slipped out of my hand
The thing that smoothly fitted in my life, I let it go
Thought time would set me free
I believed over time, I would be liberated
Save me now, I'm haunted
Please rescue me, as I am being tormented
And this was not what I wanted
This turmoil was not my preference
'Cause no matter where I go
Regardless of where I travel
I'm still runnin' from your ghost
I am still fleeing from the memory of you
And every day is colder
Each day becomes colder
So wake me up when it's over
Please wake me up when this is all done
Still, no matter what I do
Nevertheless, my attempts are futile

It always results in returning to you
Those never-ending summer nights when you were with me
The infinite summer nights that we spent together
When we slept under the stars, you lost your purse and your keys
While sleeping under the stars, you misplaced your purse and keys
How we used to catch the moment, now it's all memories
We used to seize the moment, but now it's all in my mind
Oh, will I ever be whole again? I'm missin' your piece
Will I ever be complete without you? I am missing your essence
Hours in the bed without a thought of gettin' up
Lying in bed for hours without thinking of leaving
'Cause only you and me were enough
As only you and I were adequate
It's all that I know
It's all I am familiar with
And it's so hard to let go
However, it is arduous to move on

Really beautiful voice! 🥺
@lovisaandersson4731
Han förväntade verkligen att gå vidare för att det är en sån fin låt.
Han är också väldigt nervös men han sjöng ändå så bra.
Den här låten fastnade i mitt hjärta så fort jag hörde början. Låten och texten fastnade helt på 2 dagar och det är inte många låtar som fastnar så fort.
@awatnabipour
Det är verkligen en skam för Svensk television och det svenska folket att två helt obegripliga låtar både musikaliskt och framträdes mässigt går vidare men inte den här låten. Man behöver inte ens sjunga bra nu för tiden för att gå vidare, inte behöver man göra sig förstådd när man sjunger heller...
@Loifey
Vilka två låtar?
@rimon.zerezghi10
Rejhan förtjänar verkligen en semifinal plats!😔
