Ghost Girl
Télépopmusik Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not scared
Of myself cause im not there
But it's not fair
I can see you when you're naked

I smile
cause I know you feel me inside
Touch this

Can you feel it just a minute

I'm a ghost girl
And I'm haunting in my own world
It's fine
??? is to take no-one

I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost girl

I'm not scared
Of myself cause im not there
But it's not fair
I can see you when you're naked

I smile
cause I know you feel me inside
Touch this
Can you feel it just a minute

I'm a ghost girl
And I'm haunting in my own world
I'm a ghost girl
And I'm haunting in my own world

I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost girl

I'm a ghost girl
I'm a ghost girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Télépopmusik's "Ghost Girl" describe a character who identifies herself as a "ghost girl," someone who feels detached from the material world around her. She is not afraid of herself because she feels like she does not exist in the conventional sense, though she can observe others, including their most intimate moments. The singer seems to take pleasure in this power, using the phrase "Touch this / Can you feel it just a minute?" to suggest that the person watching them is also under their influence.

The chorus of the song affirms the singer's identity as a "ghost girl," someone who is separate from the mundane concerns of everyday life: "I'm a ghost girl / And I'm haunting in my own world / It's fine / ??? is to take no-one." The final line of this section is unclear, and some interpretations suggest that the singer is saying that they are "fine to take no one" with them on their journey through life as a ghost, while others suggest that they are "fine to take no more" of the real world around them.

Overall, "Ghost Girl" presents a complex and somewhat unsettling portrait of a character who is both empowered and alienated by her detachment from reality. The lyrics suggest a fascination with voyeurism and a desire for control, while also hinting at a deeper sense of loneliness or disconnection from the people around her.

Line by Line Meaning

I'm not scared
I have no fear

Of myself cause im not there
I don't feel present in my own body

But it's not fair
I feel wronged or unjustly treated

I can see you when you're naked
I have the ability to see through people's clothes, to their true selves

I smile
I am glad

cause I know you feel me inside
I know that my presence or influence is felt deeply by others

Touch this
I am asking to be physically contacted

Can you feel it just a minute
Please take a brief moment to experience my essence

I'm a ghost girl
I am a spectral being

And I'm haunting in my own world
I am a presence in my own realm or inner world

It's fine
Everything is okay
