Ghost Stories Meaning
| [[Verse 1] You asked me why I love you and I said “I don’t know” And I could tell that you were disappointed with that answer So I carried on, said “I mean, I’ve loved a lot of people in my life—or I thought I have I guess I’ve written them all off when they leave Or I leave them, you know because that means—doesn’t it? That means that it couldn’t have been love to begin with So why not just write it off? Sorry that’s not really answering your question I mean I guess… I thought I was so fucking smart when you met me When I was 23, I’d finally started to feel like a real person, you know? A human being Kept the kind of secrets real people keep Told the kind of lies real people tell And most exciting of all I loved like I thought real people loved Never really staying anywhere Perpetually in the process of going somewhere I thought I was dark and mysterious and fucking irresistible Now I look back on 23-year-old me, I think ‘Jesus Christ man, what a dick, what a leech treating relationships like an ice-cream factory, eating all I can handle and then throwing it all up and running away’ And, yeah, I’m not 23 anymore but I’m still me and what’s more I still wanna run away sometimes, a lot of times actually In that stupid little way I do where I lock myself in my room And I watch strangers play video games ’til my brain starts to leak all over the sofa And I get high and I write and I sing and I hope it still sounds good when I’m sober— Fuck sorry, you asked me a direct question” , [Verse 2] “I guess I’m scared that I’m imaginary That I invent myself every day so other people don’t have to That who I really am is secondary to what I want everyone else to see and I’m scared that I’m crazy But God help me, I’m twice as scared I’m sane ‘Cause then what excuse do I have for treating people like problems that need to be solved or explained? And that’s where you come in You came along, you taught me that people cannot be explained That we are all ghost stories at the end of the day And maybe we should just aim to stay that way Maybe there’s a reason why we do the wonderful-horrible things we do to each other, but the reasons are too simple to be satisfying And then we’re left forgetting and re-mystifying each other ‘Cause we don’t really wanna understand what makes us hurt each other No we don’t really wanna understand what makes us hurt each other No we don’t really wanna understand what makes us— Fuck sorry I mean, I’ve been having a lot of trouble focusing recently Too much aspartame in the diet, I think” [Verse 3] “To answer your question I love you because I have to There is no ‘why’ about it Any more than there’s a reason why water vapor gathers in the sky Or why the nettles in the garden don’t go away no matter how much the guy downstairs tries to keep them at bay There is no ‘why’ about it There is a ‘how’ I suppose, don’t really understand it though Maybe if I dug around a bit in the soil I’d find out where all this love comes from and what it’s for But then the question would be answered The ghost story would be over There’d be very little point in telling it anymore Right now I’m happy just to let it be Let you be you, and me be me Sleep ’til noon and watch TV Make schemes together Try not to keep secrets from each other And just hope to God that we are right when we say ‘I love you’ ‘I love you’ I just enjoy being around you I don’t think I’m going anywhere”] |
