Ghost Door

Rin Tin Tiger's song 'Ghost Door' delves into the complexities of relationships and the invisible barriers that often accompany them. The lyrics present a series of interactions with different figures, each representing a unique aspect of the protagonist's life. The recurring motif of being 'stuck' and needing help suggests a sense of dependency and the struggle to navigate personal connections. The mention of 'Ms. Glue' and 'Ms. Water' symbolizes different types of support and opposition, highlighting the protagonist's internal conflict and the need for external assistance to overcome personal challenges.

The chorus, 'When two become one, One wants two more, When two are one, They’re like a key with a ghost door,' serves as a metaphor for the elusive nature of fulfillment in relationships. The 'ghost door' represents an unattainable or non-existent goal, suggesting that even when two people come together, there is always a desire for something more, something that remains just out of reach. This metaphor underscores the idea that relationships can often feel like they are leading nowhere, despite the effort and emotional investment involved.

The verses also touch on themes of pre-destined connections and unresolved familial relationships. The lines 'Hey you newbie, You pulled me, Before we even met' and 'Hey you father, I’m bothered and We’ve never met' reflect a sense of inevitability and unresolved tension. These lines suggest that some relationships are fated or carry a weight of expectation, even before they fully materialize. The song captures the essence of feeling trapped in a cycle of seeking connection and meaning, only to find that the path is obstructed by invisible barriers, much like a 'ghost door.'
