The background image makes me think of a little ghost in a boat sailing away after haunting someone they cared about a lot and the whole time they are singing this song
I don’t actually think this is about the literal definition of “ghosting.” The entire song is ironic. The singer talks about “ghosting” in their friends/lover’s house, watching them sleep, etc. which is what people would typically avoid doing if they were actually ghosting someone. It’s supposed to represent how they actually care a lot about the person they’re “ghosting.” He leaves metaphorical “sheets” on their bed to signal that he doesn’t want to avoid them anymore. He wants them to notice him so he can continue on with their relationship and “come out of hiding.” But it turns out that the person is fine with the singer disappearing from their life, revealing that their relationship never meant anything to begin with. The “you don’t need tricks, you don’t need treats, and you don’t need me” shows that even though the person has tried everything to get their attention, he realizes that he never meant anything to them in the first place. It’s kind of a sad song about realizing that your friend/lover never actually liked you the way you liked them.
This is my favourite interpretation of the song, and I've read a lot. "I remember the days when I'd make you so afraid", I think the other person initially cared and was worried about the "ghost", but because they did it so many times they got tired of their "tricks". It can be exhausting trying to maintain a relationship with someone who doesn't seem to show interest. This is the reason I love this song, you can relate to either the narrator or the person they're ghosting. There is no good/bad guy in the song. Just two people who's relationship didn't work out.
(This is not me disagreeing, this is me adding my own opinion) My idea of what this song meant was always that it was someone with depression. When it says "I've been ghosting along", it always seemed to me that that was like someone going through the world not feeling anything, and the whole "you'll know I'm out of hiding" was them coming to the person they're singing to (i always thought someone that the person is dating that always tried to help) and saying that they will try to talk to them and get better. The chorus explains itself, "And you don't need me". A lot of people with depression don't feel needed and like everyone could carry on without them
We used to call it blowing someone off. Honorable people do not blow there friends or lovers off. It takes a strong person to face their friends and tell them why they are cutting them out of their lives but if they don't face you and tell you ..you walk around thinking it's all your fault and what did you do..sometimes its just them so Please do not waste your feelings on a blow off. Just cry get it out and move on. Your better off without that person in your lives if they would do such a thing. Thats weak behavior and one day it will come round full circle on them and when they are old they will be wrestling with the deomns of how they treated people in their past. Take care of yourself and move on. Life is too short to dwell on pain. Good friends will come into your lives and they will be true honorable and care about you.
Ghosting: "When a person cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they're dating, with zero warning or notice before hand. You'll mostly see them avoiding friend's phone calls, social media, and avoiding them in public." Wow big mood
this song captures so perfectly what its like to realize you are hurting someone and how hard it is to realize you have to change or leave someone you loved because you were the problem. it’s weird seeing songs like this, usually people write about being the one hurt but you rarely see someone writing about being the one on the other end because many times we are.
Everyone in this comment section: the "you don't need me" part is so sad Me: but like what about the "if you'll stop staring straight through me" part?!
Same I'm actually ghosting right now but it's because I'm scared of being hurt be people I care about (not in a good situation right now), but I still feel bad
@@Sunnywithaknife have you ever think about that you hurt someone who finally trusted you and stopped ghosting by your side. And you reject this friend or partner... (I don't wanna be rude, just make you think about it)
Love this song but can't help but get teary-eyed when I listen to it. Reminds me of someone close to me who killed herself a few years ago. She was only 15 when she hung herself and it makes me think of the mindset she must've been living in before she took her life..
I had a friend do the same thing. We were both 13 at the time. It sucks when u look back cause you start thinking about all you could have done to help. Hope u are OK and try not be too hard on yourself. 💜❤️💚
this song hits deep. the line “i’ve been ghosting. i’ve been ghosting 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲. ghost in the world, ghost with 𝗻𝗼 𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗲. i remember, i remember the days, when i’d make you oh, so 𝗮𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗱.” and “you don’t need me.” makes me so sad, cuz I can relate.
this song makes me think about someone. someone who i cared a lot, we were like best friends. i started falling in love with him, but he is 2 years younger than me. i met him 3 years ago, because my siblings practice baseball, and his brother practice with mine. so, we met on a birthday party of a friend of them. i fell down, and he gave his hand for me to stand up. since then, we started talking, and we started to go to a lot of places and events from the baseball. then, i fell in love., and, then he too. but his mom didnt like that i am 2 years older than him. so we just keep being friends. but i was ok with that. then, i didnt went to the baseball for a year. didnt saw im, didnt talk to him, nothing. now, i went again. but he just stopped talking to me. stopped saying hi. he ignores me. his mom didnt let him TALK to me. when im about to say something, he turns around. the only thing we share, is looks. i look him, and he looks me. like if we can talk just with that. i just want to be friends again, but he is still denying me. i wish things go back to normal, but it cant, never. im so sorry because of my bad english, im spanish speaker. thank you if you read it all, srry if i wasted your time.
you are never wasting anyone's time. don't apologize for such a silly thing. i'm so sorry both of your guys' parents intervened in such a hurtful way. but please know that if it's meant to be, it will be, even if it takes time and is later in the future. but don't stay too attached to the idea of that, you will only hurt yourself in the end. but just let things happen, let time do what it needs to do. i wish the best for you guys ♥
I've been ghosting my friends. I dont mean to seem rude, like I don't like them or want to see them. I just think that they don't need me. They're doing just fine without me anyway. I'm better alone. I always make my friends late for class, I always need rides home, I always need to go to their houses when my parents start fighting, and I could go on. Im basically just an walking inconvenience. I make everyone feel awkward and uncomfortable with who I am, so maybe I should just stay alone.
denthepin Good friends won't mind that stuff, except for maybe being late to class but idk your friends. Don't leave them thinking you don't want to be close to them if you do.
This song makes me think not of ghosting like ignoring on social media, but of turning yourself into a ghost. Being a shell of yourself, floating around, barely existing
Over a year ago, I decided to ghost my best friend of 11 years because I didn’t like who I was and I didn’t want her to find out that I haven’t changed since she last saw me. I learned about the word “ghosting” yesterday and realized that it’s a shitty thing to do. Well... shittier than I thought, anyway.
Ghosting seems like it can be for a ton of reasons. I haven't really seen any who do it for the same reason I do... I feel like a burden, and a lot of times I leave people so they'll be unburdened. People... don't react well when I've explained it in the past, so Eventually(and inevitably) I lost just about everyone. Thought I was angery I think, Left to prove they didn't need me. Funny how life hurts, huh? At least there's a dozen less people haunted, though. all's well that ends well.
My ex-boyfriend did this a lot he just left randomly and then the last time he left he never came back and when he did he said he felt as if he was a burden to m, I still can’t understand why he would see himself as a burden when I gave him love and attention for three years like I just. It doesn’t make sense but whatever he seems better now.
i think i just lost my two best friends cause i did this. i might be able to fix it but idk. i wish they knew how much i loved them, and how bad it hurt to feel like i was losing them. i think i might have hurt my friend a lot tho, and that really sucks
The word ghosting means avoiding someone you care about or just avoiding contact to people but in this song the "ghost" is trying everything to get attention from the person they love but they fail so in this song the word ghosting has a whole new meaning and I love it.~
The Hair Of Slytherin i‘m sorry I didn‘t see your reply! I hope you feel better and I can relate. I was hospitalized and after that I still felt bad so I didn‘t really want to talk to someone lol
This song makes me feel sad because I have a feeling that I'm going to die (it's not a suicide) but I don't want to leave the people I love, I don't want them to cry, I don't want them to hold on to me
hey, have some blue! it will take away your sadness. i promise! you see, it starts out clear, and as it absorbs the sadness, it turns blue! when youre done, you throw it away, and youre happy!
I remember listening to this song on repeat when my cat died and crying for hours because he was my buddy. And the thought of his lingering ghost haunting me because i couldnt forget him made me feel guilty. I learned to let go and couldnt listen to this song for weeks after. I always come back to listen cause it truely is a great song
honestly?? the one line that goes "I will be kind and I'll be sweet/ if you stop staring straight through me" really hits different when you think about how this song is about someone who's scared to be vulnerable edit: just realized this song is about a lonely ghost begging for someone to need them and it hurts even more now
:( this reminds me of a a best friend I had. It was online. I knew him for 2 years. When it said 'You dont need no halloween.' I was speechless. His name on the platform was Halloween, I used to call him hal. One day he told me we couldn't be friends anymore. There was a group chat, I pretended I didnt want to be friends either, and left. This song really speaks to me
This song seriously hits hard. I'm sitting here in my room in the night and cry my eyes out. I really struggle with letting people in due to feeling like a burden all the time. This song gives me strength tho: " And this is why I have decided to pull these old white sheets from my head" 2020 was horrible to my mental health and I 'lived apart' from many of my friends. But the ones that stayed are the ones that I will be there for next year-- at least I want to try. And I know it will hurt opening up but it will be worth it. And I know it sounds melodramatic but I believe in you guys as well! And if you feel alienated or lonely or such just text down below or something like that, it helps to let it out sometimes. You guys are seen and loved Sorry, once I am emotional I get pretty cringe but you hopefully get the point🥴
it reminds me of a book called i heart u you haunt me edit:i wanted to cry the first time i heard this song some time ago bc i play a classical instrument. i mean i know the song but i couldnt remember the name and someone made an animation and it reminded me of it
I’ve been Ghosting I’ve been ghosting along Ghost in your house Ghost in your arms When you’re tossing When you turn in your sleep It’s because I’m ghosting your dreams And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets, From my head I’ll leave them folded neat and Tidy So that you’ll know I’m out of hiding. Ive been Ghosting I’ve been ghosting alone Ghost in the world Ghost with no home I remember I remember the days When I’d make you oh, so afraid And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home Unhaunted You don’t need poltergeist for sidekicks You don’t need treats and you don’t need tricks You don’t need treats You don’t need tricks You don’t need no Halloween You don’t need treats You don’t need tricks And you don’t need me Me Hey, would it be so bad if I stayed? I’m just a ghost out of his grave And I can’t make love in my grave I won’t put white into your hair I won’t make noises in your stairs I will be kind and I will be sweet If you stop staring straight through me And this is why I have decided To pull these old white sheets from my head I’ll leave them folded neat and Tidy So that you’ll know I’m out of hiding And this is why I have decided To leave your house and home Unhaunted You don’t need poltergeist for sidekicks You don’t need treats And you don’t need Tricks You don’t need treats You don’t need tricks You don’t need no Halloween You don’t need treats You don’t need tricks You don’t need no Hallows Eve You don’t need treats You don’t need tricks And you don’t need Me
Usually when I have ghosted people I'm too scared to ever go back to talk to them so i just leave them be. I have the tendency to just ghost people, i feel like it's what's good for them since I'm just a shitty annoying person. Or that i see them so happy, and i dont want to ruin there happiness so I just leave and one day I'll probs never come back. I think im okay with that.
@@erickamakeeaina1649 yeah I know it is, can't help but do it, but now I don't anymore, that was back then I didn't even know what that term meant. Now I just tell them that I will not be friends with them anymore or distance myself slowly but surely {like naturally, most people now tho start ghosting me first or not talking to me for long periods of time so I leave} I don't keep friends for long, but now I am sure of not having anymore friends so I don't end up just leaving n shit like that. I regret ghosting people a lot, but in my mind at the time I think they will not care at all n probs don't even remember me {which is dumb but when I'm in the moment I tend to think very weirdly n just chaotic n connect points together that don't make no logical sense and assume}. I am aware of what I do, so I don't get too close or don't get close at all. Atleast I won't be ghosting anyone anymore or leaving anyone.
Do the homorable thing and tell the person you don't want to be friends anymore. Stop being a weak hurtful inconsiderate jerk or do you just get off on hurting people? It will all come back on you hard if you keep this behavior up. Someone on day will do the same to you and you will get a taste of your own medicine hard. I am sure your family didn't raise you to be this way. Be an honorable person always and never intentionally hurt someone.
this is how i see this song personally with what ive been through: ive always been left out of stuff even with my closest friends so like "ghosting along" is like when i would stand behind all my friends on the sidewalk because their was no room for me or they were uninterested in what i had to say. i often would be left in the corner of the room while they hung out so like "ghost in your house" is very fitting with that. "i have decided to leave your house and home unhaunted" is when i acted on my anger and said hurtful stuff and leaving the group. even when i was right their no one ever noticed me so i truly felt like a ghost. ive also never had any friends so as soon as i got them, i clinged on as much as i could. now im alone again with my bestfriend and i like it this way tbh.
This one hits hard for me. I usually get ghosted by the people who call me their friend, and it hurts every time. On the other hand, this is a phenomenal song.
He loved a girl, but there was a problem, she was living, he tried to impress her with tricks of the dead, he waited many hours for her to come home from work, but this only frightened her, one day he sees the doorknob turn, he prepares his normal friendly greeting for his love, but instead of her alone, she walks in with another man, the heart broken ghost sails away while singing this tune
A lot of people seem to think that this song is about the singer ghosting their ex, basically dissapearing without any explanation, however I don´t think this is actually the case. The singer talks about ghosting the house and the dreams of his ex, referencing how after breaking up the singer still tries to be in the life of his ex, even when she tries to move on and ignore him (she stares through him). And also I think that the singer being a ghost also symbolizes how he feels 'dead' or empty without her, and how his coping mechanism is to try to still be in the life of his ex in some toxic way as a way to get closure, he convinces himself that if she just stopped 'looking through him' one last time then he will be able to move on. Finally the singer realizes that not letting go and trying to get closure in a toxic way was causing pain to her lover and this is why he decides to stop reappearing in her life to allow her to move on, which in the lyrics translates to him deciding to haunt her house and dreams because: 'You don't need treats, you don't need tricks, and you don't need me', referencing their toxic dynamic and the realization he had about really allowing her to move on.
Bruh one of my friends ghosted next a couple days before my birthday and we haven’t talked since and I saw this song in their playlist once and I finally decided to listen to it. Jesus if this how they feel man.....
This is my all time favorite song which is really difficult for me to do, since I only enjoy songs for more than a week before dissecting it so much that I don't enjoy it anymore. But I can just listen to this and it's amazing. I love the font, and background. They really set the tone. The editing is just really good with the subtle fade outs. Thanks for making this!
hh omg thank you so much for sharingg this!! i got these new headphones and i listened to this song and i felt so relieved. if aesthetic was a feeling,, i'd be feeling aesthetic. lmAO idk how to describe it
ive been having a tough time with some pretty toxic friends so I used quarantine to my advantage and ghosted every last one of them, as well as all friends i only knew through them. combed through all my socials and blocked all of them, rather sad, im over it now, but i only have to avoid them for all of senior year next year and then im home free i guess. good song
@@forgor4410 Uh, not necessarily? Ghosting isn't an inherently toxic thing. If they couldn't escape "friends" who were manipulating them and/or just overall being terrible people, then cleanly cutting them out of their life is probably healthiest. Sure, they'll be a bit hurt, but if they've gained the status of "toxic friend" then it's a necessary hurt for the sake of OP's mental health. OP seems like they got out of a bad situation. Of course, I don't know the real situation, but neither do you. I suppose it's possible that OP was lying about them being toxic or misunderstanding their behavior, but we're given no evidence of that. Innocent until proven guilty, my friend.
this song reminds me of the period before you commit suicide where you become seemingly happy. this song is a suicide letter. it talks about how the singer has been “ghosting”, a metaphor for depression. the sheets are a metaphor for the method suicide and the body. the other part of it is questioning whether they should really go through with it. the whole “you don’t need treats or tricks” is them saying they feel like a burden and them convincing themselves to go through with it.
This song gets me in my feels everytime. I had a super good friend but they legit just stopped talking to me one day. We eventually made up, and at one point when I confessed to them about how sad I was feeling about them leaving our friendship to die, they said we should stop being friends,and left me for around 3 months. Eventually they came back and said they really wanted to be a better friend but wound up ghosting me and they have been since last August. It really makes me sad whenever I see them on discord or talking to their friends on social media bc I feel completely left out. They still post and it makes me not want to go on social media at all.
Update: We both parted ways kindly and agreed we grew too different. I cried, but I knew it would happen. They gave me peace of mind about the issue. We both wished eachother best of luck, and I deleted their contact and sealed the deal.
This song is the reasons I just wave to random places in my room, just so a ghosts won’t get lonely. I haven’t had an scary experiences yet so I think it’s working
//Uh heavy stuff ahead? I used to listen to this song as a means of comfort for when I thought a friend of mine had taken their own life. It ended up being a lie, and they lied to me many times before and after that. I stopped listening to this song for years after cutting off contact, avoiding it wherever I could because it just reminded me of all the horrible memories. Today is my first time listening to this song after nearly four years(?). I feel like I'm receiving closure. I don't feel hate towards this song anymore, which was probably wrongly directed this entire time anyway, and it feels silly now that I let some awful person from the past stop me from hearing this song again. It's a nice song.
Why do I feel like this is someone watching the person they love, and when it says "I'll leave them folded neat and tidy" is them admitting that they love them. But the person doesn't love them back showing the "You don't need treats, you don't need tricks, and you don't need me".
To me this song doesn’t mean anything about the current definition of ghosting. It was made in 2008 where people didn’t use the term ghosting to mean leaving someone on read. This song means a lot more than a simple break up to me. It means disassociating and leaving your life to watch from a distance as it withers away. This song makes me incredibly emotional and I can’t help but cry every time I listen to it. It reminds me of how I don’t live my life. I waste my potential since I’m worried about the past and what has happened to me in it. I could’ve been great things but my past has held me back so much that I’ve become a ghost. Im not even alive in present day life. I feel like the protagonist singing is my grief and my past. My past is telling me that they’ve made me oh so afraid and that I don’t need them anymore. I can move on from my past. I can stop worrying about what happened and live without the tricks and treats. This song is incredibly tough for me to listen to. It makes me think about how I’ve been living in the past as the world moves around me. Almost as though I’m a ghost. It’s amazing. It’s like the song is telling me to move on. It’s like my past is a ghost that is speaking to me. At the same time I’m a ghost. It means that the ghost aka my past is apart of me that I need to accept. I also need to accept the new person I’ve become because of it. Sorry if this doesn’t make sense but this is my interpretation.
The first time I listened to this song I became obssessed with it and used to lisen to it nonstop for days and weeks on end. Back then I was extremely suicidal and felt pretty much like a ghost already. Still, I feel a certain optimism and desire to carry on from this song and now I listen to it and I feel like I am really pulling that sheet off my head and finally facing life head on.
"Ghost in the world ghost with no home" is the line that gets me because the ghost is forgotten with no place to go and it's like the whole world forgot about them and it seems like they're lost even though they know exactly where they are and that is what personally gets me
To me, I think the song is about a guy with anger issues or someone who makes the other person sad or afraid, he doesn't realize that he hurt the person, he thinks the other person needs them, until they finally see how that person looks at them. He apologizes and says he'll be kinder, but they hate him already. So he leaves her/ his home "unhaunted" :')
This may seem weird but the instrumental of the song, especially at the beginning reminds me of the summertime and just feeling loved or loving someone, but the lyrics despite being so depressing make me like I have some sort of helpless infatuation with someone and they oddly like me back and what's truly off about this all is how I've felt all of this all at once It's that feeling you get when the school year begins but it still feels like summer and I love it dearly
I love this song because you can relate to either the narrator or the person they're ghosting. There is no good/bad guy in the song, just two people whose relationship didn't work out.
My interpretation is this. The ghost is someone who typically pushes people away, and so is quite rude/avoidant to the person because they are scared. But the person is still around so the ghost starts to get attached, so much so that they decide to try and let them. Only to realise they're too late. The person has given up on them, and the ghost is heartbroken
I tend to ghost my friends when I’m depressed. I feel like they don’t need me to burden them with my problems. It’s hard to open up, so I just stay quiet. But I always come back once the depression wanes. I really feel every lyric of this song tbh. Not to mention it’s a fricking *bop*. Mother Mother is a band that knows how to speak to my heart.
when i ghost people i never do it because of hatred. i have a problem with gettin people out of my life so to solve that i ghost them so i feel like less of a burden to them and hopefully they’ll understand that i mean no harm. it’s really hard to explain but i feel that it’s the only way to get over the feeling
I feel like this song is about those who are "invisible in life", who feel like people look at them, but don't really look at them. Those who feel so scared and/or are too antisocial in order to be able to feel comfortable interacting with people, and/or who are to scared in order to interact with or ask out those whom they are crushing on, or befriend those whom they wish to be friends with and like. Them being frustrated with the way people treat them like they are invisible but feel like they are incapable of being able to gain the confidence to step out. A story of them finally building up the courage in order to take the metaphorical ghost sheets off of themselves, going out into society and interacting with those around them, finally asking out the person they want to, and finally befriending those whom they wish to; choosing to no longer be invisible. Of course, this is a very specific situation, and I don't know a lot about people who are antisocial, so I apologize if I got some things wrong without knowing, as I am uncertain. This is also very similar and heavily inspired off of something else that somebody else said a while back about this song which I agree with, just my own interpretation of it
Such a bittersweet song :) Everyone in the comments says this is making them sad, and I can see why, but personally It makes me feel very comforted/comfortable. It's such a cute song! I really feel like if this song were edible it would taste like marshmallows. 💙 The Ghost may be lonely and they may have to leave their lover/friend/whatever, but the way I see it, it's a new beggining for them! They will find someone who loves them back eventually and they won't have to ghost anymore! It's very wholesome :)
This sorta reminds me of this weird ghost like thing that's made of my characters pain in his past and the ghost thing sorta haunts my character. My rp is weird as you can see.
I heard this song a long time ago, and I forgot about it. My sister told me to listen to this song because she liked it... Jesus the memories flooded in like water from a broken dam. I have never been happier.
This hits in a very different way for me than i see in everyone else Because im mostly the one who's always being ghosted But i still haunt the ones who ghosted me,because im always around, just silent The two lines that most hit me are "I will be nice and i'll be sweet,if you stop staring right throught me" Thats literally how i feel, its scary to be a ghost
When I hear this song I think about my mom. I think about how she doesn’t need all of me. She doesn’t need my attitude and she doesn’t need my mood swings. She doesn’t need the space that I put between us. She doesn’t need all of me. And I’m just there not talking just haunting her. “I’ll be kind and I’ll be sweet if you’ll stop staring straight through me” This part makes me cry just because I’ve tried to change myself for her. In this song I’m saying goodbye because I’m unable to change myself. I can’t change for her.
this song is makes me go :( i have a bad habit, i ghost people almost all the time because my mental health is bad and when i start talking to people. i feel annoying so i stop talking, ultimately i feel like i have no friends and that people don’t miss me. ugh this song is so good
this is how i feel a lot of the time: a ghost, not alive enough to be here with everyone in my life, disconnected from them. it’s like i’m waiting around to go and no one really wants me to stay. i’m half dead already.
The background image makes me think of a little ghost in a boat sailing away after haunting someone they cared about a lot and the whole time they are singing this song
I literally love everything about your profile idk why XD
That is the cutest thing I've ever read
Someone should make a animation of that :o
That's actually so adorable wtf-
I can't take this serious
Not with ue profile pic XD
I don’t actually think this is about the literal definition of “ghosting.”
The entire song is ironic. The singer talks about “ghosting” in their friends/lover’s house, watching them sleep, etc. which is what people would typically avoid doing if they were actually ghosting someone. It’s supposed to represent how they actually care a lot about the person they’re “ghosting.”
He leaves metaphorical “sheets” on their bed to signal that he doesn’t want to avoid them anymore. He wants them to notice him so he can continue on with their relationship and “come out of hiding.”
But it turns out that the person is fine with the singer disappearing from their life, revealing that their relationship never meant anything to begin with. The “you don’t need tricks, you don’t need treats, and you don’t need me” shows that even though the person has tried everything to get their attention, he realizes that he never meant anything to them in the first place.
It’s kind of a sad song about realizing that your friend/lover never actually liked you the way you liked them.
This is my favourite interpretation of the song, and I've read a lot.
"I remember the days when I'd make you so afraid", I think the other person initially cared and was worried about the "ghost", but because they did it so many times they got tired of their "tricks". It can be exhausting trying to maintain a relationship with someone who doesn't seem to show interest.
This is the reason I love this song, you can relate to either the narrator or the person they're ghosting. There is no good/bad guy in the song. Just two people who's relationship didn't work out.
lol i am now taking this as canon (yes even though its a song)
Oh jesus i love this comment so much
(This is not me disagreeing, this is me adding my own opinion)
My idea of what this song meant was always that it was someone with depression. When it says "I've been ghosting along", it always seemed to me that that was like someone going through the world not feeling anything, and the whole "you'll know I'm out of hiding" was them coming to the person they're singing to (i always thought someone that the person is dating that always tried to help) and saying that they will try to talk to them and get better. The chorus explains itself, "And you don't need me". A lot of people with depression don't feel needed and like everyone could carry on without them
Fuck... Now I'm sad
Y’all gotta remember this album came out in 2008, ghosting in terms of not talking to someone online suddenly didn’t exist
In that case it aged like a fine wine
We used to call it blowing someone off. Honorable people do not blow there friends or lovers off. It takes a strong person to face their friends and tell them why they are cutting them out of their lives but if they don't face you and tell you ..you walk around thinking it's all your fault and what did you do..sometimes its just them so Please do not waste your feelings on a blow off. Just cry get it out and move on. Your better off without that person in your lives if they would do such a thing. Thats weak behavior and one day it will come round full circle on them and when they are old they will be wrestling with the deomns of how they treated people in their past. Take care of yourself and move on. Life is too short to dwell on pain. Good friends will come into your lives and they will be true honorable and care about you.

@@thedutchessofdragonshyre4630 yeah but anxiety and bad mental health go burrrr
I agree, ppls getting too intense about anxiety xD
Ghosting:
"When a person cuts off all communication with their friends or the person they're dating, with zero warning or notice before hand. You'll mostly see them avoiding friend's phone calls, social media, and avoiding them in public."

this song captures so perfectly what its like to realize you are hurting someone and how hard it is to realize you have to change or leave someone you loved because you were the problem. it’s weird seeing songs like this, usually people write about being the one hurt but you rarely see someone writing about being the one on the other end because many times we are.

Love this song but can't help but get teary-eyed when I listen to it. Reminds me of someone close to me who killed herself a few years ago. She was only 15 when she hung herself and it makes me think of the mindset she must've been living in before she took her life..
God bless your soul for being so strong 💚
Hope she has found her peace and staying strong is all u can do for now
I'm sorry for your loss. And I'm sorry for her.
I had a friend do the same thing. We were both 13 at the time. It sucks when u look back cause you start thinking about all you could have done to help. Hope u are OK and try not be too hard on yourself. 💜❤️💚

this song makes me think about someone.
someone who i cared a lot, we were like best friends. i started falling in love with him, but he is 2 years younger than me. i met him 3 years ago, because my siblings practice baseball, and his brother practice with mine. so, we met on a birthday party of a friend of them. i fell down, and he gave his hand for me to stand up. since then, we started talking, and we started to go to a lot of places and events from the baseball. then, i fell in love., and, then he too. but his mom didnt like that i am 2 years older than him. so we just keep being friends. but i was ok with that. then, i didnt went to the baseball for a year. didnt saw im, didnt talk to him, nothing. now, i went again. but he just stopped talking to me. stopped saying hi. he ignores me. his mom didnt let him TALK to me. when im about to say something, he turns around. the only thing we share, is looks. i look him, and he looks me. like if we can talk just with that. i just want to be friends again, but he is still denying me. i wish things go back to normal, but it cant, never.
im so sorry because of my bad english, im spanish speaker.
thank you if you read it all, srry if i wasted your time.
Cry and see what he does when he exchanges looks with you
Wow keeping your son from having friends is a really bad parenting technique. I’m so sorry for you guys. 💔
Oh this is such a sad story.. I'm so sorry for you ..
Maybe you will be friends with him again? Who knows..
you are never wasting anyone's time. don't apologize for such a silly thing. i'm so sorry both of your guys' parents intervened in such a hurtful way. but please know that if it's meant to be, it will be, even if it takes time and is later in the future. but don't stay too attached to the idea of that, you will only hurt yourself in the end. but just let things happen, let time do what it needs to do. i wish the best for you guys ♥

I've been ghosting my friends.
I dont mean to seem rude, like I don't like them or want to see them. I just think that they don't need me. They're doing just fine without me anyway. I'm better alone. I always make my friends late for class, I always need rides home, I always need to go to their houses when my parents start fighting, and I could go on. Im basically just an walking inconvenience. I make everyone feel awkward and uncomfortable with who I am, so maybe I should just stay alone.
denthepin Good friends won't mind that stuff, except for maybe being late to class but idk your friends. Don't leave them thinking you don't want to be close to them if you do.
Maybe you could try explaining them how you feel and why you ghost sometimes. It have work for me with my bff

This comment, this, this is the exact situatuon im in through rn.

This song makes me think not of ghosting like ignoring on social media, but of turning yourself into a ghost. Being a shell of yourself, floating around, barely existing
overly relatable.

Over a year ago, I decided to ghost my best friend of 11 years because I didn’t like who I was and I didn’t want her to find out that I haven’t changed since she last saw me. I learned about the word “ghosting” yesterday and realized that it’s a shitty thing to do. Well... shittier than I thought, anyway.
Find her

The picture goes well with the sound and tone of the song. Makes everything more beautiful Thanks for the lyrics. 💕
Ghosting seems like it can be for a ton of reasons. I haven't really seen any who do it for the same reason I do... I feel like a burden, and a lot of times I leave people so they'll be unburdened. People... don't react well when I've explained it in the past, so Eventually(and inevitably) I lost just about everyone. Thought I was angery I think, Left to prove they didn't need me.
Funny how life hurts, huh? At least there's a dozen less people haunted, though. all's well that ends well.
My ex-boyfriend did this a lot he just left randomly and then the last time he left he never came back and when he did he said he felt as if he was a burden to m, I still can’t understand why he would see himself as a burden when I gave him love and attention for three years like I just. It doesn’t make sense but whatever he seems better now.
i think i just lost my two best friends cause i did this. i might be able to fix it but idk. i wish they knew how much i loved them, and how bad it hurt to feel like i was losing them. i think i might have hurt my friend a lot tho, and that really sucks
The word ghosting means avoiding someone you care about or just avoiding contact to people but in this song the "ghost" is trying everything to get attention from the person they love but they fail so in this song the word ghosting has a whole new meaning and I love it.~
I absolutely love this song. At first I was like, "Eh, it's okay," but now... now I can't stop playing this song on loop!

This song made my forget about my ex and all of our memories... This song made me hold on and escape depression. Well thanks. I listened to this a lot
Sometimes you just need a song to cry to. Not because it's emotional for you, it just helps you get your feelings out. This is the song for me.
I remember listening to this song on repeat when my cat died and crying for hours because he was my buddy. And the thought of his lingering ghost haunting me because i couldnt forget him made me feel guilty. I learned to let go and couldnt listen to this song for weeks after. I always come back to listen cause it truely is a great song
honestly?? the one line that goes "I will be kind and I'll be sweet/ if you stop staring straight through me" really hits different when you think about how this song is about someone who's scared to be vulnerable
edit: just realized this song is about a lonely ghost begging for someone to need them and it hurts even more now
Why is this me when someone slightly changed the way they act towards me

:( this reminds me of a a best friend I had. It was online. I knew him for 2 years. When it said 'You dont need no halloween.' I was speechless. His name on the platform was Halloween, I used to call him hal. One day he told me we couldn't be friends anymore. There was a group chat, I pretended I didnt want to be friends either, and left. This song really speaks to me
Moral of the story: dont use someone as a mental crutch... especially if they're online..
This song seriously hits hard. I'm sitting here in my room in the night and cry my eyes out. I really struggle with letting people in due to feeling like a burden all the time. This song gives me strength tho: " And this is why I have decided to pull these old white sheets from my head"
2020 was horrible to my mental health and I 'lived apart' from many of my friends. But the ones that stayed are the ones that I will be there for next year-- at least I want to try. And I know it will hurt opening up but it will be worth it. And I know it sounds melodramatic but I believe in you guys as well!
And if you feel alienated or lonely or such just text down below or something like that, it helps to let it out sometimes.
You guys are seen and loved
Sorry, once I am emotional I get pretty cringe but you hopefully get the point🥴
Aw no I hope u feel better now :(

To pull these old white sheets,
From my head
I’ll leave them folded neat and Tidy
So that you’ll know I’m out of hiding.

I’ve been ghosting alone
Ghost in the world
Ghost with no home

I’m just a ghost out of his grave
And I can’t make love in my grave
I won’t put white into your hair
I won’t make noises in your stairs
I will be kind and I will be sweet
If you stop staring straight through me
And this is why I have decided
To pull these old white sheets from my head
I’ll leave them folded neat and Tidy
So that you’ll know I’m out of hiding
And this is why I have decided
To leave your house and home
Unhaunted
You don’t need poltergeist for sidekicks
You don’t need treats
And you don’t need
Tricks
You don’t need treats
You don’t need tricks

Usually when I have ghosted people I'm too scared to ever go back to talk to them so i just leave them be. I have the tendency to just ghost people, i feel like it's what's good for them since I'm just a shitty annoying person. Or that i see them so happy, and i dont want to ruin there happiness so I just leave and one day I'll probs never come back. I think im okay with that.
Trust me....Being ghosted is one of the worst feelings in the world
You wonder if you did something wrong or if you were annoying and such
@@erickamakeeaina1649 yeah I know it is, can't help but do it, but now I don't anymore, that was back then I didn't even know what that term meant. Now I just tell them that I will not be friends with them anymore or distance myself slowly but surely {like naturally, most people now tho start ghosting me first or not talking to me for long periods of time so I leave} I don't keep friends for long, but now I am sure of not having anymore friends so I don't end up just leaving n shit like that. I regret ghosting people a lot, but in my mind at the time I think they will not care at all n probs don't even remember me {which is dumb but when I'm in the moment I tend to think very weirdly n just chaotic n connect points together that don't make no logical sense and assume}. I am aware of what I do, so I don't get too close or don't get close at all. Atleast I won't be ghosting anyone anymore or leaving anyone.
Do the homorable thing and tell the person you don't want to be friends anymore. Stop being a weak hurtful inconsiderate jerk or do you just get off on hurting people? It will all come back on you hard if you keep this behavior up. Someone on day will do the same to you and you will get a taste of your own medicine hard. I am sure your family didn't raise you to be this way. Be an honorable person always and never intentionally hurt someone.
this is how i see this song personally with what ive been through:
ive always been left out of stuff even with my closest friends so like "ghosting along" is like when i would stand behind all my friends on the sidewalk because their was no room for me or they were uninterested in what i had to say. i often would be left in the corner of the room while they hung out so like "ghost in your house" is very fitting with that. "i have decided to leave your house and home unhaunted" is when i acted on my anger and said hurtful stuff and leaving the group. even when i was right their no one ever noticed me so i truly felt like a ghost. ive also never had any friends so as soon as i got them, i clinged on as much as i could. now im alone again with my bestfriend and i like it this way tbh.
2:35 My absolute most favorite part of this breathtaking music. ✨
This one hits hard for me. I usually get ghosted by the people who call me their friend, and it hurts every time. On the other hand, this is a phenomenal song.
He loved a girl, but there was a problem, she was living, he tried to impress her with tricks of the dead, he waited many hours for her to come home from work, but this only frightened her, one day he sees the doorknob turn, he prepares his normal friendly greeting for his love, but instead of her alone, she walks in with another man, the heart broken ghost sails away while singing this tune
no mom this isn’t country it’s mother mother

Everyone talks about "and you don't need me"
but what about the main line:
"I've been ghosting *alone* "
A lot of people seem to think that this song is about the singer ghosting their ex, basically dissapearing without any explanation, however I don´t think this is actually the case.
The singer talks about ghosting the house and the dreams of his ex, referencing how after breaking up the singer still tries to be in the life of his ex, even when she tries to move on and ignore him (she stares through him). And also I think that the singer being a ghost also symbolizes how he feels 'dead' or empty without her, and how his coping mechanism is to try to still be in the life of his ex in some toxic way as a way to get closure, he convinces himself that if she just stopped 'looking through him' one last time then he will be able to move on.
Finally the singer realizes that not letting go and trying to get closure in a toxic way was causing pain to her lover and this is why he decides to stop reappearing in her life to allow her to move on, which in the lyrics translates to him deciding to haunt her house and dreams because:
'You don't need treats, you don't need tricks, and you don't need me',
referencing their toxic dynamic and the realization he had about really allowing her to move on.
Aw heck. Now I gotta animate this or it won't stay out of my head.

Bruh one of my friends ghosted next a couple days before my birthday and we haven’t talked since and I saw this song in their playlist once and I finally decided to listen to it. Jesus if this how they feel man.....
oof this hits too close to home. I miss an old friend, wherever she is. I hope you’re ok. You’re probably happier without me in your life.
This is my all time favorite song which is really difficult for me to do, since I only enjoy songs for more than a week before dissecting it so much that I don't enjoy it anymore. But I can just listen to this and it's amazing. I love the font, and background. They really set the tone. The editing is just really good with the subtle fade outs. Thanks for making this!
hh omg thank you so much for sharingg this!! i got these new headphones and i listened to this song and i felt so relieved. if aesthetic was a feeling,, i'd be feeling aesthetic. lmAO idk how to describe it
ive been having a tough time with some pretty toxic friends so I used quarantine to my advantage and ghosted every last one of them, as well as all friends i only knew through them. combed through all my socials and blocked all of them, rather sad, im over it now, but i only have to avoid them for all of senior year next year and then im home free i guess. good song
That’s good you dropped them! Hope you feel better
You are the toxic one, my friend.
@@forgor4410 Uh, not necessarily? Ghosting isn't an inherently toxic thing. If they couldn't escape "friends" who were manipulating them and/or just overall being terrible people, then cleanly cutting them out of their life is probably healthiest. Sure, they'll be a bit hurt, but if they've gained the status of "toxic friend" then it's a necessary hurt for the sake of OP's mental health. OP seems like they got out of a bad situation. Of course, I don't know the real situation, but neither do you. I suppose it's possible that OP was lying about them being toxic or misunderstanding their behavior, but we're given no evidence of that. Innocent until proven guilty, my friend.
this song reminds me of the period before you commit suicide where you become seemingly happy. this song is a suicide letter. it talks about how the singer has been “ghosting”, a metaphor for depression. the sheets are a metaphor for the method suicide and the body. the other part of it is questioning whether they should really go through with it. the whole “you don’t need treats or tricks” is them saying they feel like a burden and them convincing themselves to go through with it.
This song gets me in my feels everytime. I had a super good friend but they legit just stopped talking to me one day. We eventually made up, and at one point when I confessed to them about how sad I was feeling about them leaving our friendship to die, they said we should stop being friends,and left me for around 3 months. Eventually they came back and said they really wanted to be a better friend but wound up ghosting me and they have been since last August. It really makes me sad whenever I see them on discord or talking to their friends on social media bc I feel completely left out. They still post and it makes me not want to go on social media at all.
Update: We both parted ways kindly and agreed we grew too different. I cried, but I knew it would happen. They gave me peace of mind about the issue. We both wished eachother best of luck, and I deleted their contact and sealed the deal.
aww, I hope you're alright, wish you lots of luck, bud.
I’d give anything to hear this song for the first time again..
most of the comments:talking about what ghosting means
Me: God damn I love it when that higher pitched voice joins in at 3:34 and 3:56
This song is the reasons I just wave to random places in my room, just so a ghosts won’t get lonely. I haven’t had an scary experiences yet so I think it’s working
//Uh heavy stuff ahead?
I used to listen to this song as a means of comfort for when I thought a friend of mine had taken their own life. It ended up being a lie, and they lied to me many times before and after that. I stopped listening to this song for years after cutting off contact, avoiding it wherever I could because it just reminded me of all the horrible memories. Today is my first time listening to this song after nearly four years(?). I feel like I'm receiving closure. I don't feel hate towards this song anymore, which was probably wrongly directed this entire time anyway, and it feels silly now that I let some awful person from the past stop me from hearing this song again. It's a nice song.
Why do I feel like this is someone watching the person they love, and when it says "I'll leave them folded neat and tidy" is them admitting that they love them. But the person doesn't love them back showing the "You don't need treats, you don't need tricks, and you don't need me".
I love this song it's so chill and the aesthetic is 👌
Why is this such a comfort song? I love it and it makes me feel to good 🥰
To me this song doesn’t mean anything about the current definition of ghosting. It was made in 2008 where people didn’t use the term ghosting to mean leaving someone on read.
This song means a lot more than a simple break up to me.
It means disassociating and leaving your life to watch from a distance as it withers away. This song makes me incredibly emotional and I can’t help but cry every time I listen to it. It reminds me of how I don’t live my life. I waste my potential since I’m worried about the past and what has happened to me in it. I could’ve been great things but my past has held me back so much that I’ve become a ghost. Im not even alive in present day life. I feel like the protagonist singing is my grief and my past. My past is telling me that they’ve made me oh so afraid and that I don’t need them anymore. I can move on from my past. I can stop worrying about what happened and live without the tricks and treats.
This song is incredibly tough for me to listen to. It makes me think about how I’ve been living in the past as the world moves around me. Almost as though I’m a ghost. It’s amazing. It’s like the song is telling me to move on. It’s like my past is a ghost that is speaking to me. At the same time I’m a ghost. It means that the ghost aka my past is apart of me that I need to accept. I also need to accept the new person I’ve become because of it.
Sorry if this doesn’t make sense but this is my interpretation.
The first time I listened to this song I became obssessed with it and used to lisen to it nonstop for days and weeks on end. Back then I was extremely suicidal and felt pretty much like a ghost already. Still, I feel a certain optimism and desire to carry on from this song and now I listen to it and I feel like I am really pulling that sheet off my head and finally facing life head on.
Hey, where are my fellow lesbians who are listening to this because a straight girl will never like you the way you like her ;w;

"Ghost in the world ghost with no home" is the line that gets me because the ghost is forgotten with no place to go and it's like the whole world forgot about them and it seems like they're lost even though they know exactly where they are and that is what personally gets me
Honestly my fav mother mother song. Deserves much more attention
To me, I think the song is about a guy with anger issues or someone who makes the other person sad or afraid, he doesn't realize that he hurt the person, he thinks the other person needs them, until they finally see how that person looks at them. He apologizes and says he'll be kinder, but they hate him already. So he leaves her/ his home "unhaunted"
:')
This may seem weird but the instrumental of the song, especially at the beginning reminds me of the summertime and just feeling loved or loving someone, but the lyrics despite being so depressing make me like I have some sort of helpless infatuation with someone and they oddly like me back and what's truly off about this all is how I've felt all of this all at once
It's that feeling you get when the school year begins but it still feels like summer and I love it dearly
I love this song because you can relate to either the narrator or the person they're ghosting. There is no good/bad guy in the song, just two people whose relationship didn't work out.
My interpretation is this. The ghost is someone who typically pushes people away, and so is quite rude/avoidant to the person because they are scared. But the person is still around so the ghost starts to get attached, so much so that they decide to try and let them. Only to realise they're too late. The person has given up on them, and the ghost is heartbroken
my friend really likes this song,, she can't talk to me anymore and now whenever I listen to it, it makes me think of her.
Mother mother supremacy 🛐🛐
I tend to ghost my friends when I’m depressed. I feel like they don’t need me to burden them with my problems. It’s hard to open up, so I just stay quiet. But I always come back once the depression wanes. I really feel every lyric of this song tbh. Not to mention it’s a fricking *bop*. Mother Mother is a band that knows how to speak to my heart.
idk why but I just can't help but to hear a toxic person who finally is getting help but realizes the person moved on
when i ghost people i never do it because of hatred. i have a problem with gettin people out of my life so to solve that i ghost them so i feel like less of a burden to them and hopefully they’ll understand that i mean no harm. it’s really hard to explain but i feel that it’s the only way to get over the feeling
Them: makes an entire song
Me: the intro part with all the funky stuff is the most best
Nah the entire song is the best 😍
But if you like the funky stuff at the beginning you’d probably like lemon demon
I feel like this song is about those who are "invisible in life", who feel like people look at them, but don't really look at them. Those who feel so scared and/or are too antisocial in order to be able to feel comfortable interacting with people, and/or who are to scared in order to interact with or ask out those whom they are crushing on, or befriend those whom they wish to be friends with and like. Them being frustrated with the way people treat them like they are invisible but feel like they are incapable of being able to gain the confidence to step out. A story of them finally building up the courage in order to take the metaphorical ghost sheets off of themselves, going out into society and interacting with those around them, finally asking out the person they want to, and finally befriending those whom they wish to; choosing to no longer be invisible. Of course, this is a very specific situation, and I don't know a lot about people who are antisocial, so I apologize if I got some things wrong without knowing, as I am uncertain. This is also very similar and heavily inspired off of something else that somebody else said a while back about this song which I agree with, just my own interpretation of it
Such a bittersweet song :)
Everyone in the comments says this is making them sad, and I can see why, but personally It makes me feel very comforted/comfortable. It's such a cute song! I really feel like if this song were edible it would taste like marshmallows. 💙
The Ghost may be lonely and they may have to leave their lover/friend/whatever, but the way I see it, it's a new beggining for them! They will find someone who loves them back eventually and they won't have to ghost anymore! It's very wholesome :)
This sorta reminds me of this weird ghost like thing that's made of my characters pain in his past and the ghost thing sorta haunts my character. My rp is weird as you can see.
On your boat buddy..dont worry
I heard this song a long time ago, and I forgot about it. My sister told me to listen to this song because she liked it... Jesus the memories flooded in like water from a broken dam. I have never been happier.
This hits in a very different way for me than i see in everyone else
Because im mostly the one who's always being ghosted
But i still haunt the ones who ghosted me,because im always around, just silent
The two lines that most hit me are "I will be nice and i'll be sweet,if you stop staring right throught me"
Thats literally how i feel, its scary to be a ghost
When I hear this song I think about my mom. I think about how she doesn’t need all of me. She doesn’t need my attitude and she doesn’t need my mood swings. She doesn’t need the space that I put between us. She doesn’t need all of me. And I’m just there not talking just haunting her. “I’ll be kind and I’ll be sweet if you’ll stop staring straight through me” This part makes me cry just because I’ve tried to change myself for her. In this song I’m saying goodbye because I’m unable to change myself. I can’t change for her.
This one hits too close to home. I hope you're better now. I hope to get better with my mum too.
This is so beautiful
Gives me a strange energy
Also I wanna cry and scream
this song is makes me go :(
i have a bad habit, i ghost people almost all the time because my mental health is bad and when i start talking to people. i feel annoying so i stop talking, ultimately i feel like i have no friends and that people don’t miss me.
ugh this song is so good
same here.
I had a best friend who faked self harm, and they aren't my friend anymore.
This song reminds me about them for some reason..
@jackmichael285
they say that they self harm but they dont actually.. they dont need to show you the scars
this is how i feel a lot of the time: a ghost, not alive enough to be here with everyone in my life, disconnected from them. it’s like i’m waiting around to go and no one really wants me to stay. i’m half dead already.
aaa i love this song so much, thanks for making a lyric video on it ♡
this album came out in 2008, when the term ghosting wasn’t used as it is today
I think the real irony is that the supposed "ghost" is actually the one being ghosted as the line "if you stop staring straight through me" implies.
