The Ghost in Me
Seventh Rain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
As it creaks, I think about the years
This is where it started
I'm closer now, walking down these steps
Memory lane, it's all that I've got left
It leaves me broken hearted
The ghost in me
Came alive on this lonely street
Deep inside I know you're here
Somehow you're here with me, with me
I turn around and take another glance
'Cause I know this is my last chance
My heart is slowly beating
Overwhelmed, the beauty shining through
I feel myself getting close to you
Even though I'm leaving
The further that I go, I will always know
The ghost in me
Came alive on this lonely street
Deep inside I know you're here
Somehow you're here with me, with me
I can't go back, I've gone too far
I'm closer now to where you are
The further that I go, I will always know
The ghost in me
Came alive on this lonely street
Deep inside I know you're here
Somehow you're here with me, with me
The ghost in me
Came alive on this lonely street
Deep inside I know you're here
Somehow you're here... with me
The ghost in me
Came alive on this lonely street
In "The Ghost In Me" by Seventh Rain, the lyrics depict a deep emotional journey of reminiscence and longing. The opening lines, where the singer closes the door softly and reflects on the years, set the introspective tone of the song. The act of closing the door signifies a separation from the outside world, a moment for introspection and contemplation. As the singer walks down memory lane, represented by steps, it becomes clear that this place holds significance as the beginning of something important in their life, possibly a relationship or a formative experience.
As the singer delves deeper into their memories, the song brings forth the theme of longing and heartache. The imagery of being broken-hearted and the acknowledgment that the memories are all that they have left paint a poignant picture of loss and nostalgia. The haunting presence of the "ghost" in the singer symbolizes the enduring impact of the past on their present self. The idea of the past coming alive on the lonely street reflects a sense of yearning for connection and understanding.
Despite the overwhelming emotions and the acknowledgment that they can't turn back, the singer feels a pull towards the beauty and familiarity of the past. The blending of emotions like sadness, love, and closeness creates a complex tapestry of feelings within the singer. The repeated refrain of "the ghost in me" emphasizes the persistent presence of the past in shaping the singer's identity and emotional landscape.
In the final verses, the singer confronts the reality of being unable to go back but feeling closer to the essence of what they have left behind. The imagery of the lonely street serves as a metaphor for the solitude and introspection that accompany revisiting one's memories. The unresolved nature of the singer's feelings is encapsulated in the haunting presence of the ghost, signifying that the past will always linger within them. Through evocative lyrics and emotive imagery, "The Ghost In Me" captures the bittersweet essence of longing, remembrance, and the enduring impact of the past on the present self.
