City of Ghosts
Zombina and the Skeletones Lyrics

I'm living in a city of ghosts
The singer finds themselves in a place where they feel isolated and alone, surrounded by people who are physically present but emotionally absent.

Everybody's walking through the halls
The people surrounding the singer in this city seem to be moving through their daily routines without any real purpose or connection to the world around them.

Everyone's invisible and dead
The singer feels like they're surrounded by people who are emotionally dead, who are not truly present in their own lives or in the lives of those around them.

And all the shops are closed
Even the places that could offer some relief or connection - the shops - are closed, further emphasizing the singer's feelings of isolation and despair.

Nobody's saying nothin at all
The singer feels like they're completely invisible, like no one around them is interested in connecting or communicating with them at all.

There really isn't anybody there
Despite the physical presence of the people around them, the singer feels like there's no real connection or presence there at all.

Ghost rats are crawling at my feet
The singer feels like they're in a place where even the rats - typically associated with life and vitality - are dead and emotionless.

Nobody listens when I scream
The singer feels like they're shouting into a void, like the people around them are so disengaged that they can't hear or respond to the singer's attempts to connect.

I'm sick of feeling like I'm all alone
The singer is tired of feeling isolated and disconnected from the people around them, and is desperately searching for some kind of meaningful connection.

They walk right through me in the street
The people around the singer are so disconnected from the world around them that they don't even seem to notice the singer's presence - they just pass through them like ghosts.

They stickin to their creepy little [??]
The people around the singer seem fixated on their own lives and habits, unable to shake themselves out of their routines to connect with the world in a meaningful way.

I've been cold in this town
The singer has felt emotionally numb and disconnected in this place for a long time.

I've been cold now you're not around
The singer is missing a specific person who they believe could have helped them find some kind of meaning or connection in this city of ghosts.

I've been cold, cold inside
The singer's emotional disconnection and isolation has left them feeling numb and cold inside.

I've been cold
The singer continues to emphasize their numbness and emotional disconnection.

Don't you know
The singer is emphasizing the urgency and importance of their message - they want to connect with someone, and want to communicate how they're feeling.

I've been cold, cold inside
The song concludes with a repetition of the singer's numbness and emotional isolation, emphasizing the immense importance of finding a connection with someone or something in this lifeless city.
