Haunted
Sue McLaren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Right in the dead of night
Caught in a dream, standing there
Like you are real life
Broken inside lying here
Sends my thoughts running wild
Hope becomes real, feel you near
So how long will this last
Ghosts of my past
'Cause I still hear your voice
Whisper in my ear and I am haunted
The shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
The shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
And I am haunted
So how long will this last
Ghosts of my past
'Cause I still hear your voice
Whisper in my ear and I am haunted
The shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
The shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted.
So how long will this last
Ghosts of my past
'Cause I still hear your voice
Whisper in my ear and I am haunted
The shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
The shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted.
In Sue McLaren's haunting melody "Haunted", the lyrics describe the feeling of being haunted by the past. The singer is visited by an apparition of someone from their past, particularly in the dead of night. Even though they know it's not real, the phantom feels like a present reality. The singer is emotionally struggling, continually flooded with memories of this person from their past. The chorus "So how long will this last? Ghosts of my past? 'Cause I still hear your voice, whisper in my ear and I am haunted," conveys just how overpowering and overwhelming these emotions can be.
The shadows on the wall, playing tricks on the singer, further adds to their emotional turmoil. Despite there being no physical presence, the shadow's mere illusions at night are exacerbating their haunted feelings. The idea of being haunted is metaphorical, describing the mental and emotional scars left behind by someone or something that continues to linger in the singer's thoughts. Yet, as much as the singer wants to break free from these past memories, they continue to be trapped until they find a path to acceptance and peace.

Once in a while you appear
You only show up on occasion
Right in the dead of night
Usually in the middle of the night, when everything is quiet
Caught in a dream, standing there
I see you in my dreams, just standing there
Like you are real life
You seem so real, like you're really there
Broken inside lying here
I am feeling vulnerable and upset
Sends my thoughts running wild
It makes me start thinking about all sorts of things
Hope becomes real, feel you near
I start to feel hopeful and like you're close to me
Steal the breath from mine
It takes my breath away
So how long will this last
I wonder how much longer this will go on for
Ghosts of my past
Memories of things that have happened before
'Cause I still hear your voice
I can still hear you speaking to me
Whisper in my ear and I am haunted
When you whisper to me, it scares me and makes me feel haunted
The shadows on the wall
The shapes and shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
They are making me feel scared and haunted
And I am haunted
I feel haunted and scared
The shadows on the wall
The shapes and shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
They are making me feel scared and haunted
So how long will this last
I wonder how much longer this will go on for
Ghosts of my past
Memories of things that have happened before
'Cause I still hear your voice
I can still hear you speaking to me
Whisper in my ear and I am haunted
When you whisper to me, it scares me and makes me feel haunted
The shadows on the wall
The shapes and shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted
They are making me feel scared and haunted
The shadows on the wall
The shapes and shadows on the wall
Playing tricks on me and I am haunted.
They are making me feel scared and haunted
