Ghost
Wolf Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don’t mean to ghost you but I will
Can’t fuck with people who have too much time too kill
You like to argue when you really need to heal
Don’t be mad if I don’t stick around and chill
Running uphill
Got my headphones on real loud
When I'm walking always keep my head down
When I'm strumming I just want a nice view
Always pictured stained glass windows in my room
Cuz I don't ever really leave the house
Went through a phase where the music kept me round
Lost a few friends maybe lost a few pounds
I sing to myself when I'm feeling down
I don’t mean to ghost you but I will
Can’t fuck with people who have too much time too kill
You like to argue when you really need to heal
Don’t be mad if I don’t stick around and chill
Yeah
I don’t mean to ghost you but I will
Can’t fuck with people who have too much time too kill
You like to argue when you really need to heal
Don’t be mad if I don’t stick around and chill
Running uphill
I'm running running running running
My endorphins aren't working so I
Keep on working
Got an angry voicemail on my phone
You're so mad you're not getting back
What you think you deserve
Take it out on me
Take it out take it take it out on me
I can handle what you say
Brush it off you know that's my way
Hey ooo that's my way
Ghost so I ghost ghost so I ghost
Ghost so I ghost
I don’t mean to ghost you but I will
Can’t fuck with people who have too much time too kill
You like to argue when you really need to heal




Don’t be mad if I don’t stick around and chill
Running uphill

Overall Meaning

In the song "Ghost" by Wolf, the lyrics depict a person's need for distance and solitude from toxic relationships or people who drain their energy. The artist expresses the intention to "ghost" the other person, meaning to gradually or suddenly cut off communication and disappear from their life. This decision is not meant to hurt the other person intentionally, but rather as a form of self-preservation.


The lyrics highlight the artist's aversion to engaging with individuals who have a lot of free time that they use negatively, perhaps by creating drama or seeking unnecessary arguments. Instead of getting caught up in arguments, the artist believes it is more important to focus on personal healing and self-growth.


The line "Running uphill" serves as a metaphor for the difficulties or challenges the artist faces in maintaining healthy relationships. It symbolizes the constant struggle to find balance and peace.


The artist also mentions keeping their headphones on and their head down while walking, indicating a desire to drown out external distractions and maintain a sense of introspection. They long for a peaceful environment and find solace in strumming their guitar while envisioning a serene view, represented by the imagery of stained glass windows.


The second verse sheds light on the artist's tendencies to isolate themselves and find comfort in music during difficult times. They admit to going through a phase where music was their only connection to the world, resulting in the loss of some friends and possibly some weight due to emotional distress.


The chorus repeats the artist's intention to "ghost" while emphasizing their inability to tolerate individuals who waste too much time and energy arguing instead of focusing on their own healing. They acknowledge that their actions may cause frustration, but they prioritize their own well-being over the comfort of others.


The song ends on an introspective note, with the artist reflecting on their own emotional state and the way they handle criticism or negative comments. They express their ability to handle what others say and dismiss it easily, suggesting a resilient and independent nature. The repeated mentions of "Ghost so I ghost" reinforce the theme of distancing oneself from negativity for the sake of personal growth and peace.
