Ghost
wildes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the night I lay awake
A shadow danced across my face
A silver line that I could trace
Growing fainter

The memories I kept and stole
Trapped inside my heavy soul
Will they stay in while I grow old?
A timeless chamber

All my wounds are open wide
They won't heal you're inside
Try to clear my troubled mind
Too many times

Together we bleed
But I won't heal so
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me
And in your arms, I know
Oh, I feel you close so
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me

All we said is set in stone
Can't forget the words you spoke
Echoing through empty halls
How you haunt me

I always feel you on my skin
In the raging of the winds
And away you fly
Through the blackened skies

All my wounds are opened up
They won't heal without your love
Try to clear my troubled mind
Too many times

Together we bleed
But I won't heal so
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me
And in your arms, I know
Oh, I feel you close so
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me

I keep holding on
So say you'll always haunt me
Ooh, ooh
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me
Ooh, ooh
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me

Together we bleed
But I won't heal so
Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me
And in your arms, I know
Oh, I feel you close so




Say you'll always haunt me
Say you'll always haunt me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Ghost" by Wildes evoke a haunting and melancholic feeling. The song explores the idea of being haunted by memories of a past love that continue to linger and haunt the singer. The opening lines of the song suggest a sense of restlessness and unease, as the singer lies awake at night and is visited by a shadow that dances across her face. The silver line that she traces growing fainter signifies her memories slowly slipping away.


The next verse speaks of the memories that the singer carries with her, trapped inside her heavy soul. She wonders if these memories will stay with her as she grows old and if they will continue to torment her. The lines "All my wounds are open wide/They won't heal, you're inside" imply that the pain of the past is still fresh for the singer, and that she is unable to move on from it.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Say you'll always haunt me" several times, suggesting that the singer wants her past love to acknowledge their impact on her life and to continue to haunt her in some way. The bridge of the song speaks of the weight of the past that the singer carries with her, and how it affects her in even the smallest ways, like feeling her past love on her skin in the raging of the winds.


Overall, the lyrics of "Ghost" paint a picture of a person struggling to move on from a past love and haunted by the memories and emotions that continue to haunt her.


Line by Line Meaning

In the night I lay awake
During the night, I am lying awake in contemplation


A shadow danced across my face
A shadow moved rhythmically over my face


A silver line that I could trace
A faint silver line that can be traced


Growing fainter
Becoming less clear or intense


The memories I kept and stole
The memories that I retained and that were taken from me


Trapped inside my heavy soul
Confined within my burdened soul


Will they stay in while I grow old?
Will these memories remain as I age?


A timeless chamber
An eternal place of containment


All my wounds are open wide
All of my wounds are exposed and vulnerable


They won't heal you're inside
These wounds will not heal as you are residing within me


Try to clear my troubled mind
Attempting to alleviate my distressed psyche


Too many times
This has occurred too frequently


Together we bleed
We suffer together


But I won't heal so
I will not recover from this pain


Say you'll always haunt me
Promise me that you will always occupy my thoughts and emotions


And in your arms, I know
When I am in your embrace, I am certain


Oh, I feel you close so
I experience your proximity acutely


All we said is set in stone
Everything we communicated has been finalized


Can't forget the words you spoke
Unable to erase the words that you uttered


Echoing through empty halls
Resounding through vacant passageways


How you haunt me
Your presence troubles and torments me


I always feel you on my skin
I continuously sense your touch on my skin


In the raging of the winds
During the fierce gusts of the wind


And away you fly
You depart into the distance


Through the blackened skies
Across the darkened expanse above


All my wounds are opened up
All of my injuries are exposed once more


They won't heal without your love
I will not mend unless you love me


I keep holding on
I continue to hold tight


So say you'll always haunt me
Therefore, promise me that you will always occupy my thoughts and emotions

Angie: Por la noche me quedo despierto
Una sombra bailó en mi rostro.
Una línea plateada que podría dibujar.
cada vez más débil

Los recuerdos que guardo y robo.
Atrapado dentro de mi alma pesada
¿Se quedarán a medida que envejezca?
Una cámara atemporal

Todas mis heridas están abiertas
No sanarán, estás dentro
Traté de despejar mi mente enredada
Demasiadas veces

juntos sangramos
Pero no me curaré así
Di que siempre me cazarás
Di que siempre me cazarás
Y en tus brazos, lo sé.
Oh, te siento tan cerca
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Di que siempre me perseguirás

Todo lo que dijimos fue grabado en piedra.
No puedo olvidar las palabras que dijiste.
Haciendo eco a través de pasillos vacíos.
como me cazaste

siempre te siento en mi piel
En la furia de los vientos
Y lejos vuelas
A través de cielos ennegrecidos

Todas mis heridas están abiertas
No sanarán sin tu amor
Traté de despejar mi mente enredada
Demasiadas veces

juntos sangramos
pero no voy a sanar
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Di que siempre me cazarás
Y en tus brazos, lo sé.
Oh, te siento tan cerca
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Di que siempre me cazarás

sigo aguantando
Así que siempre me perseguirás
Ooh ooh
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Ooh ooh
Di que siempre me cazarás
Di que siempre me perseguirás

juntos sangramos
pero no voy a sanar
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Di que siempre me cazarás
Y en tus brazos, lo sé.
Oh, te siento tan cerca
Di que siempre me perseguirás
Di que siempre me cazarás

TRADUÇÃO:

Na noite eu fiquei acordado
Uma sombra dançou em meu rosto
Uma linha prateada que eu poderia traçar
Ficando mais fraco

As memórias que guardei e roubei
Preso dentro da minha alma pesada
Eles ficarão enquanto eu envelhecer?
Uma câmara atemporal

Todas as minhas feridas estão abertas
Eles não vão curar você está por dentro
Tente limpar minha mente perturbada
Muitas vezes

Juntos nós sangramos
Mas eu não vou curar então
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
E em seus braços, eu sei
Oh, eu sinto você perto então
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar

Tudo o que dissemos está gravado na pedra
Não consigo esquecer as palavras que você falou
Ecoando por corredores vazios
Como você me assombra

Eu sempre te sinto na minha pele
Na fúria dos ventos
E para longe você voa
Pelos céus enegrecidos

Todas as minhas feridas estão abertas
Eles não vão se curar sem o seu amor
Tente limpar minha mente perturbada
Muitas vezes

Juntos nós sangramos
Mas eu não vou curar então
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
E em seus braços, eu sei
Oh, eu sinto você perto então
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar

Eu continuo segurando
Então diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Ooh Ooh
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Ooh Ooh
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar

Juntos nós sangramos
Mas eu não vou curar então
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
E em seus braços, eu sei
Oh, eu sinto você perto então
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar
Diga que você sempre vai me assombrar

In the night I lay awake
A shadow dives across my face
The silver lining I could trace
growing fainter

The memories I kept in store
are trapped inside my heavy soul
Will they stay young while I grow old?
A timeless chamber

All my wounds are open wide;
they won’t heal while you’re inside
Tried to clear my troubled mind
too many times

Together we’ll bleed
Oh, I won’t heal, so
say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me
And in your arms, I know
oh, I’d feel you closer
Say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me

All we said is set in stone;
can’t forget the words you spoke
echoing through empty homes
How you haunt me

I always feel you on my skin
in the raging of the winds
And away you fly through the blackened skies

All my wounds are opened up;
they won’t heal without your love
Tried to clear my troubled mind
too many times

Together we’ll bleed
Oh, I won’t heal, so
say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me
And in your arms, I know
oh, I’d feel you closer
Say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me

I keep holding on,
so say you’ll always haunt me
Ooh, ooh
Say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me
Ooh, ooh
Say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me

Together we bleed
Oh, I won’t heal, so
say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me
And in your arms, I know
oh, I’ll feel you closer
Say you’ll always haunt me
Say you’ll always haunt me
