Song Meaning of “Ghost” by Whirr
This song is about the feeling of sadness and loneliness that can follow a break-up or other difficult times. The narrator is reflecting on a past relationship and the emptiness and longing for the person they once shared their life with. The lyrics express a feeling of being stuck in the past; the ghost of their ex-lover “haunts” them, reminding them of better days and creating an emotional weight. The longing for a former companion is described as an oppressive feeling; “the weight of air, keeps me from feeling free”. The song brings to light how love can leave a deep and lasting impression in one’s life, such that even after the ending of a relationship one may still feel its impact for a long time. The narrator expresses their resolve to move on, however, wrapping up by stating “I know I’m gonna make it through.”
