Haunted
YCK Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't comprehend
I pull the hammer heard the sound
From thousands of houses out
I feel haunted for
Things I wanted more
Than to fix what's at stake
I did it myself so she wouldn't have to
Now we've been ingrained like the ink of a tattoo
Laid inside a flowerbed
You wonder where I'm out again
I'm sitting at the edge this time
Decisions made and now it's mine
I did it for them so they didn't plan to
Now I've been estranged I've been out staying past two
Laid along a patch of trees
You say I'm making fallacies
I paint the ground, I'm signing too
But the real me resides in you
I can't fall again
And I can't comprehend
I pull the hammer heard the sound
From thousands of houses out
I feel haunted for
Things I wanted more
Than to fix what's at stake
I hate whenever I'm awake
Need a thing we call a soul
I'm searching inside myself
Only found an empty hole
I guess I'm going down to hell
Need a thing we call a heart
I'm looking inside my chest
Like it's been ripped apart
There's nothing more and nothing left
I can't fall again
And I can't comprehend
I pull the hammer heard the sound
From thousands of houses out
I feel haunted for
Things I wanted more
Than to fix what's at stake
I hate whenever I'm awake
The song "Haunted" by YCK is a melancholic ballad about the feeling of being haunted by one's past, and the regret and remorse that come with it. The lyrics describe a sense of longing for something that has been lost or missed, and the pain and guilt of knowing that one's actions have led to this state of being. The singer sings about feeling haunted for the things they wanted more than to fix what's at stake, expressing a sense of shame and sadness at having prioritized their own desires over their responsibilities or relationships. The lines "I did it myself so she wouldn't have to / Now we've been ingrained like the ink of a tattoo" suggest a sense of sacrifice for someone else's benefit, but also a feeling of being unable to escape the consequences of that choice.
The chorus of the song repeats the opening lines "I can't fall again / And I can't comprehend / I pull the hammer heard the sound / From thousands of houses out," which can be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's sense of being stuck in a cycle of self-destruction and unable to change their circumstances or escape their past. The bridge of the song speaks to the singer's sense of hopelessness, as they describe searching for something like a soul or a heart within themselves but finding only emptiness and despair.
Overall, the lyrics of "Haunted" convey a sense of emotional pain and regret, as the singer grapples with the consequences of their actions and the sense of being trapped in a haunting cycle of their own making.
