Ghost

Golden Daze's song 'Ghost' delves into the haunting nature of past relationships and the lingering memories that refuse to fade away. The lyrics open with the protagonist acknowledging that someone is no longer occupying their thoughts, yet there's a sense of resignation as they feel like lying down, perhaps overwhelmed by the emotional weight. The mention of not believing in ghosts but knowing they're in the bed suggests that while the protagonist doesn't literally believe in supernatural entities, the metaphorical 'ghost' of a past lover still haunts their present life.

The chorus, 'I won’t wait, only the best will break,' reflects a sense of urgency and a refusal to dwell on the past. However, the line 'Watching the wreck we made' indicates a recognition of the damage caused by the relationship, hinting at regret and introspection. The repetition of 'Now she’s out of my head' and 'Now it’s out of my head' signifies an attempt to move on, but the persistent presence of the 'ghost' suggests that moving on is easier said than done.

In the second verse, the protagonist admits to not noticing the 'ghost' initially, which could symbolize the gradual realization of the emotional baggage left behind. The line 'There's a ghost inside your bed lying with you' implies that both parties in the relationship are haunted by their shared past. The song concludes with a reiteration of the chorus, emphasizing the struggle between wanting to move forward and being held back by the memories of a love that once was. Golden Daze uses the metaphor of a ghost to poignantly capture the enduring impact of past relationships on our present lives.
