Ghost Town
SASSY 009 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

my shoes are loud, they're clicking softly at the ground phone is shining 9 PM, in ghost town

toyota 7 in heaven, glitter on my thighs a cold wind whispering: ""it's your time""

but then there's you, being the joker in my mind it's warm in paradise being in hell on half time

i wanna see you, but never feel you on my chest but, if i can have your crown then baby be my guest

give it to me, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me

there is a choice, i know, i hear it all the time stay the fuck at home we're doing lonely style

yeah say hello to darkness it's an old friend
she keeps on growing stronger underneath my bed

if i can have your crown, i promise you'll be fine
i'll stay with you online, so baby just take my hand i'll keep it somewhere safe, i'll do it with grace, yeah

I'll keep it somewhere safe I'll do it with grace, yeah

(casper)

is this the closest I'll ever get to infinity?

if i can have you're crown, i promise you'll be fine i'll stay with you online, so baby just take my hand i'll keep it somewhere safe, i'll do it with grace, yeah

i'll keep it somewhere safe i'll do it with grace, yeah

i want it more, I want it all, I want love
i'm entering the future with my magic glove

Overall Meaning

The song "Ghost Town" by SASSY 009 is a melancholic and reflective piece about distance, isolation, and longing. Each verse and chorus presents a vivid image of an individual caught in an empty place or a faraway world with the desire to connect with someone else. The first two lines of the first verse set the tone for the rest of the song. "My shoes are loud, they're clicking softly at the ground" indicates that the person is alone and walking through an empty place. The line, "phone is shining 9 PM, in ghost town," suggest that it may be night-time, and the town is deserted. The second verse speaks metaphorically of a "Toyota 7 in heaven" and "glitter on my thighs." These lines connect with the themes of desire and yearning for something intangible, with the next line, "a cold wind whispering: ‘it's your time.'" The line suggests that the individual is isolated yet listening to something, maybe intuition, and is on the verge of embarking on something new.

The chorus reveals that there is someone on their mind, and the reference to a "joker" in their mind implies that they are maybe conflicted or perhaps even self-deceiving. The line, "it's warm in paradise being in hell on half time," suggests that there is a contradiction in their perception of this person: they bring comfort, but there is also an underlying pain. They want to keep them at a distance but are still intrigued by them. The second verse talks about the digital connection but still manages to feel distant. The line, "if I can have your crown, then baby be my guest," speaks of the desire to have control over the situation and possibly the other individual.
