Ghost
SiairaShawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But, your house seems to be haunted
Ghosts, in every corner.
I want to move on with you.
But, it seems like you're stalled and
Too involved in your past.
Can we last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go.
Can we last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go.
Go.
Wanna build a new room with you.
But you keep excavating.
So our path can't never be new.
I wanna fast forward.
And you keep rewinding.
No new memories.
You insist on reminding me.
Can we last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go.
Can we last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go.
Go.
Tired of hearing, bumps in the night.
Shadows follow me.
Can I be with a possessed?
Do I wanna be an exorcist?
Hearing, bumps in the night.
Shadows follow me.
Can I be with a possessed?
Do I wanna be an exorcist?
Can we last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go.
Go.
Can we last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go of your last?
If you can't let go.
Go.
I'm afraid of no ghost.
The lyrics to SiairaShawn's song "Ghost" speak to a situation where the singer wants to move forward in their relationship with someone, but that person is stuck in the past. The figurative language used in the lyrics is that the person's "house seems to be haunted" and "ghosts in every corner." This is a metaphor for the person's emotional baggage and inability to let go of their past. The singer wants to build a new life with this person, but feels that they are constantly excavating the past and rewinding old memories. They are tired of dealing with the emotional baggage and the shadows that follow them.
The singer questions whether they can build a lasting relationship with this person if they can't let go of their past. They ask if they can be with someone who is "possessed" by their past and if they themselves want to be an "exorcist" to help them let go. The repeated phrase "if you can't let go of your last" emphasizes the importance of moving forward and not dwelling on the past to make the relationship work.
