The Meaning Behind TXT's "Ghosting" Lyrics Will Make You So Emotional
MOAs are living for TXT's latest EP minisode1: Blue Hour. The five-track album sees the group trying out a variety of genres and concepts. Their lead single "Blue Hour" is obviously a fan-favorite, but another song is also making waves online and that's "Ghosting," which Soobin and Taehyun helped write. If you're wondering what TXT's "Ghosting" lyrics mean in English, they're all about feeling alone. Prepared to get emotional, MOAs, because TXT will hit you in the feels with every word on this track.
In the song, TXT compare someone they miss to a ghost because they disappeared without warning. The group also calls themselves a ghost because they're alone without that special person. Although they communicate online, it's not the same, and because of this, TXT says they still feel isolated at home. "You logout now you know/ Stay up all night with your open eyes like a zombie/ I'm looking for a sign of parting in the conversation/ I don't know yet," TXT sings.
"Ghosting" gives off such a nostalgic feel because it's as if you're transported to another place and time. TXT couldn't have picked a better song to begin minisode1: Blue Hour. Listen to "Ghosting" below.
In a press release, TXT said their EP was inspired by how much the world has changed over the past few months. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, people are relying on social media more than ever to stay in touch with their loved ones. Ahead of their EP's release, TXT shared concept photos depicting "the new norms of today’s online-centric society."
The pictures, which show the members looking sad from being closed indoors, perfectly capture the meaning behind "Ghosting."
Read the "Ghosting" lyrics below. Warning: They'll make you feel all the feels.
INTRO
You disappeared, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
You disappeared, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
In a room where only echoes linger
I wander alone all the time
I'm like a ghost
Like a ghost
VERSE 1
Messages filled with square screens
Tikitaka, we liked it
Something is weird
Still number 10,000, welcome me
PRE-CHORUS
Look at you blankly, a lonely window
On the right side, just roll around my story alone
I get more and more anxious
All day all day all day all day
CHORUS
You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
I bury it in the air
What do I say to you (what do I do)
You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
VERSE 2
In a room where only echoes linger
I wander alone all the time
I'm like a ghost
Look at you, blankly rising up
I can't believe it, everything is already in my world
You logout now you know
PRE-CHORUS
Stay up all night with your open eyes like a zombie
I'm looking for a sign of parting in the conversation
I don't know yet
All day all day all day all day
CHORUS
You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
I bury it in the air
What do I say to you (what do I do)
You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
In a room where only echoes linger
I wander alone all the time
I'm like a ghost
BRIDGE
Actually I know
‘No answer’ that’s the answer
I don't get used to it
Being alone
Like us in the picture
I have to go back again
I'm still here
I'm still here
CHORUS
You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
I bury it in the air
What do I say to you (what do I do)
You disappeared for a moment, you disappeared
Like a faint ghost
In a room where only echoes linger
I wander alone all the time
I'm like a ghost
The lyrics are so relatable and that's why "Ghosting" deserves a music video ASAP.
