Haunted
See The World Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been waiting all year, I'll be waiting some more
I sit here and think of the summer we had
The winter is cold, the winter is black
And I, I'm haunted
And I, I want you
Hundreds of miles of falling apart
I'd give anything to go back to the start
Hundreds of miles but less than a day
To just hear your voice, to just see your face
And I, I'm haunted
And I, I want you
You're in my head I can't escape it
My mind's eye has left me dry
The sun can (will) rise on new tomorrows
But can I stand another day?
The lyrics of See The World's song Haunted paint the picture of a person who is haunted by the memories of a past relationship that they cannot seem to move on from. The first line, "the cracks in my skin are like cracks in the floor," describes how the cracks on the person's skin are parallel to the cracks on the floor, indicating that something is broken within them. The person has been waiting for a year, but they feel like they will be waiting indefinitely. They sit and think about the summer they had with their former lover and how the winter is now black and cold. This imagery is used to describe the bleakness and desperation that the person is feeling.
As the song continues, the chorus repeats "And I, I'm haunted, and I, I want you," emphasizing the person's obsession with their ex. They feel like they are falling apart, and they would do anything to go back to the beginning of their relationship. The distance between them is significant, "hundreds of miles," but the person longs to hear their ex's voice and see their face again. They are trapped in their own head and cannot escape the memories that haunt them. In the last line, "the sun can rise on new tomorrows, but can I stand another day?" the person is questioning their ability to continue living with the pain of their past relationship.

During Pre-Covid times, me and my dad went to Scotland and went on a tour inside the Edinburgh Castle. I didn’t know it was haunted, and after watching this video, I now learned that I went inside one of the most haunted places in the world
