Haunted
Stand Abandoned Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Making it so I can't sleep
You've done the irreversible
Damage and I've lost control
I'm left here with an empty shell
Decaying slowly
Seeping straight into this hell
Scream why at the skies above
Memories of you are haunting me
Making it so I can't sleep
You've done the irreversible
Damage and I've lost control
Left in the dust
A barren wasteland of rust
Who can I trust, this is too much
This is too much
Memories of you are haunting me
Making it so I can't sleep
You've done the irreversible
Damage and I've lost control
Memories of you are haunting me
Making it so I can't sleep
You've done the irreversible
Damage and I've lost control
It's not too late
They always say
It's not too late
Chin up, okay
Things are better said than done
I don't know what I've become
From these demons I can't run
I don't know what I've become
Alone and unconsicious, right back at the bottom
Have you really forgotten what we once were
Dead inside, I can't see I'm blind
Try to run and hide, how do I survive
How do I survive
You've got a grasp on me
I need to break free
You've got a grasp on me
I need to break free
I can't fucking sleep
Life seems like a dream
All these memories of you are haunting me

Line by Line Meaning
Memories of you are haunting me
Recollections of your presence linger, causing distress
Making it so I can't sleep
Preventing me from finding rest
You've done the irreversible
Your actions have caused permanent harm
Damage and I've lost control
Resulting in a loss of power over myself
I'm left here with an empty shell
Feeling hollow and devoid of purpose
Decaying slowly
Slowly deteriorating from within
Seeping straight into this hell
Being consumed by a place of torment
Scream why at the skies above
Expressing frustration towards the universe
And wonder what I could of done
Questioning what actions could have changed the outcome
Left in the dust
Abandoned and forgotten
A barren wasteland of rust
An empty, desolate landscape
Who can I trust, this is too much
Feeling overwhelmed and unsure of who to rely on
This is too much
The burden is unbearable
It's not too late
There is still hope for redemption
They always say
Common advice given
Chin up, okay
Encouragement to remain optimistic
Things are better said than done
It's easier to talk about improvement than to make it happen
I don't know what I've become
Uncertain about one's own identity
From these demons I can't run
Unable to escape inner struggles
Alone and unconsicious, right back at the bottom
Isolated and unaware, back to a low point
Have you really forgotten what we once were
Questioning if past connections have been erased
Dead inside, I can't see I'm blind
Emotionally numb and unable to perceive
Try to run and hide, how do I survive
Seeking escape but unsure of how to endure
You've got a grasp on me
Your influence has a hold over me
I need to break free
Desiring liberation from your control
I can't fucking sleep
Struggling to find peace in slumber
Life seems like a dream
Reality feels surreal and distant
All these memories of you are haunting me
The recollections of you continue to torment me
