Haunted
Sense Field Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No. I never wanted to
Think now
Think how it'd be
Everything that's haunted you
Anything that wanted to
There are no pictures in frames
None that I could find of me
None I ever want to see
They don't mean a thing to me
[Chorus]
Someone step in
Step in and break it up
Someone step up
Step in and make it stop
A sign this time it's real
This is not a false alarm
Just know
How low you feel
When they don't mean you any harm
It's just the way some people are
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Look at the past just to see
I never wanted
Think how it'd be
When everything's haunted
Don't break
Don't fake the deal
Keep the promise that you kept
They'll lie
They'll try and steal
Doesn't matter what they get
Give until there's nothing left
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Look at the past just to see
I never wanted
Think how it'd be
When everything's haunted
There are no pictures in frames
None that I found
The world up in flames
It's not what I wanted
Look at the past to see
I never wanted
A sign, a sign
This time it's real
And everything's haunted
Look at the past to see
I never wanted
A sign, a sign
This time it's real
And everything's haunted
The lyrics of the song "Haunted" by Sense Field may be interpreted as reflecting on memories, nostalgia, and the impact of past experiences on the present. The lines "Look at the past just to see, No. I never wanted to" reveal a reluctance to revisit the past, possibly due to haunted memories or unfavorable experiences. The lyrics also suggest a sense of detachment from these memories, as seen in the lines "None that I could find of me, just memories up in flames, none I ever want to see, they don't mean a thing to me." These lines express a desire to leave the past behind and move on, even if it means letting go of certain memories.
The chorus of the song, which repeats twice, emphasizes the need for someone to intervene and stop whatever negativity that is occurring. It could be interpreted as highlighting how difficult it is to break free from a negative cycle, and the need for outside help to do so.
The final lines "Don't break, don't fake the deal, Keep the promise that you kept, They'll lie, they'll try and steal, Doesn't matter what they get, Give until there's nothing left," suggest the importance of staying true to oneself and being committed to one's values, despite external pressures or threats.
