Lyrical Analysis of...
Haunted
- {Verse 1}
- I found my grandmother,
- Blue and purple, body stiff from rigor mortis.
- That picture never left me, still see it when it's darkest,
- Some memories don't fade, they just become a part of us.
- I can still feel the weight of her body in my arms,
- Tryna give her CPR, thinking I could bring her back.
- Calling out her name like somehow she'd respond,
- Knowing something wasn't right but couldn't process that.
- That ambulance took forever,
- Swear a whole lifetime passed before I heard the sirens.
- Seconds became minutes, every minute felt like hours,
- Standing in that room watching everything go silent.
- I was just a kid,
- What the fuck was I supposed to do with death?
- How you go from knowing somebody your whole damn life
- To counting every breath and realizing there's none left?
- People tell you time heals—
- I don't know who the fuck came up with that.
- Time just taught me how to carry what I saw,
- 'Cause all these years later, I can still take myself back.
- {Hook}
- Better days, better days,
- I know they're coming my way.
- Sun comes up, another chance,
- Maybe everything'll be okay.
- Better days, better days,
- Even when the memories stay.
- I'm still here, I'm still smiling,
- Still finding reasons to celebrate.
- {Verse 2}
- I walked down some dark ass paths,
- Never knew if I was makin' it back.
- Now I'm sittin' here alone with my thoughts,
- Know one wrong choice and there ain't no comin' back.
- Thought about hurting myself just to feel shit,
- Then thought, that's dumb as fuck—I gotta live with it.
- Funny how your own mind become the enemy,
- Same motherfucker begging for life and death simultaneously.
- Room pitch black, ain't a sound in the house,
- Got a whole fucking war going on in my mouth.
- One voice saying quit, one saying get through tonight,
- One saying nobody cares, one saying that ain't right.
- Maybe I don't wanna die, I just want this shit gone,
- Want one fucking morning where the weight ain't along.
- 'Cause I've walked through hell and somehow came back,
- Maybe there's still something waiting past the dark ass path.
- {Hook}
- Better days, better days,
- I know they're coming my way.
- Sun comes up, another chance,
- Maybe everything'll be okay.
- Better days, better days,
- Even when the memories stay.
- I'm still here, I'm still smiling,
- Still finding reasons to celebrate.
- {Verse 3}
- Now I got two little reasons I gotta get home,
- Two voices remind me I ain't walking alone.
- Funny how life went and flipped that shit around,
- I spent years needing somebody—now they need me around.
- I can't promise 'em life won't ever get rough,
- Can't promise this world ain't gonna fuck shit up.
- But I can promise when that darkness finally comes,
- They ain't gonna have to fucking face it alone.
- Maybe better days ain't some place that you find,
- Maybe they're the little shit we overlook all the time.
- Breakfast in the morning, everybody getting home,
- Hearing laughter coming from the other fucking room.
- Maybe Grandma ain't coming back, I know that now,
- And some memories still knock the fucking wind out.
- But if everything I've lost taught me anything,
- It's hold the ones you got while they're still within reach.
- {Final Hook}
- Better days, better days,
- I know they're coming my way.
- Sun comes up, another chance,
- Maybe everything'll be okay.
- Better days, better days,
- Even when the memories stay.
- I'm still here, I'm still smiling,
- Still finding reasons to celebrate.
