Sing It Loud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And watch me turn around and walk away
(Watch me turn around and walk away)
And all those times you always had me beat
But now I lay in bed and grind my teeth
(Now I lay in bed and grind my teeth)
'Cause in the end she'll never know
That something obvious will come from it
(Something obvious will come from it)
Because we take our drinks and then retreat
And then we talk until we fall asleep
'Cause in the end she'll never know
Who lights the skies
Come home
And when you fall don't feel alone
'Cause I'll get up get up for you
And maybe I'm a ghost and I'm wondering
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
'Cause this could be the end
And I'm hoping that you still feel me
Please don't leave me
So baby, run your fingers down my face
And watch me turn around and walk away
Because we take our drinks and then retreat
And then we talk until we fall asleep
And maybe I'm a ghost and I'm wondering
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
'Cause this could be the end
And I'm hoping that you still feel me
Please don't leave me
(And I'll get up get up for you)
Maybe I'm a ghost
And maybe I'm a ghost and I'm wondering
Can you hear me?
Can you see me?
'Cause this could be the end
And I'm hoping that you still feel me
Please don't leave me
"Maybe I'm A Ghost" by Sing It Loud appears to be a heartfelt ballad reflecting the pain and anguish of a person who feels unappreciated by their lover. The song opens up with the singer asking their partner to run their fingers down their face and watch them turn and walk away, representing the frustration they feel. In the past, the partner always had them beat, but now, they grind their teeth at night, wondering if they can ever truly be appreciated by the person they love. The singer believes that in the end, she will never know how much they love her, and this thought is harrowing as it lingers throughout the whole song.
The song also touches on the idea that although they always have obvious interactions when they meet, they still hope that the person they love will feel them even though they believe they are a ghost that may never be seen or heard. Towards the end of the song, the singer acknowledges that this could be the end, and they hope that their feelings are still felt by the love interest, as they plead, "Please don't leave me." This displays the desperation and longing of the singer.
Overall, this song describes the pain of feeling unappreciated and the hopelessness of a love that is not reciprocated. It expresses the idea that love can make us feel invisible, almost like ghosts.

So baby, run your fingers down my face
Baby, touch me one last time before I leave
And watch me turn around and walk away
I'm leaving you even though you're watching me go
And all those times you always had me beat
You always won in the past, but now I'm the one struggling
But now I lay in bed and grind my teeth
I'm stressed and unable to sleep at night
'Cause in the end she'll never know
She will never understand my feelings or realize the impact she had on me
I bet a dime that every time we meet
I'm certain that every encounter we have will lead to an obvious outcome
That something obvious will come from it
Our interactions are predictable and unchanging
Because we take our drinks and then retreat
We escape reality through drinking and avoiding confronting our issues
And then we talk until we fall asleep
We have deep conversations but ultimately none of it leads to any resolution
Who lights the skies
Who brings light to my life
Come home
Return to me
And when you fall don't feel alone
I'm here to support you through your struggles
'Cause I'll get up get up for you
I'll always be there to lift you up when you fall
And maybe I'm a ghost and I'm wondering
I feel invisible and unheard
Can you hear me?
Do you understand and acknowledge my existence and emotions?
Can you see me?
Do you recognize my struggles and my attempts to communicate with you?
'Cause this could be the end
Our relationship is on the brink of coming to an end
And I'm hoping that you still feel me
I hope you still care about me and our relationship
Please don't leave me
I'm begging you to stay and continue fighting for our relationship
Maybe I'm a ghost
I feel like an invisible and forgotten presence
