#Ghost lyrics full#
Their relationship was very inconsistent for almost eight full years, from early 2010 to late 2018. The aforementioned Selena Gomez who, like Justin Bieber, is one of the most-successful singers in the world, dated the Biebs. In fact it is so obvious that the internet is ablaze with conspiracy theories arguing that “Ghost” is actually about Selena Gomez, whom the Biebs dated oh so many years ago. deciphering the song without relying on Bieber’s external explanation, then it’s a no-brainer that he is addressing an ex-girlfriend. However as far as the surface presentation goes, i.e. So barring the two romantic-sounding statements above, the lyrics of this track can perhaps be stretched to the point where one can argue they are not geared toward an ex. All in all…ĭespite the above, the song still possesses sort of a general applicability, as the Biebs alluded to in his overall explanation of it. For instance, there aren’t any gender pronouns contained therein. In fact concerning her venturing off into the sunset, ‘if he could’ he would leave his own livelihood behind and “follow” her.Īnd along those same lines “ her memory is ecstasy”, another statement connoting that their relationship was amorous in nature. So now all he has left are memories of her, which is what the titular “ghost” represents.Īnd once again going back to the thesis sentiment, it features the vocalist missing this person “ more than life”. And what this apparently means is that as far as he’s concerned – for whatever unexplained reason – the two of them will never end up back together. He also implies that he took their relationship for granted. But now she has “ cross(ed) the bridge that he can’t follow’.

Like that isn’t the type of thing you would say to a platonic friend or family member per se.

Such is logically implied considering that the states he ‘misses this person’s touch’. Addresseeīut that being noted, within the song itself pretty much from the first verse the singer establishes that this is in fact a romantic interest he is addressee. So in his own explanation of “Ghost”, Justin doesn’t describe it as being a love song. Rather generally speaking the loved one can also be akin to, say a friend for instance. Indeed we’ve all likely had close relationships in the past that one day they were there and the next was just permanently over. However, the Biebs has more or less confirmed that such is not the case. Rather many popular musicians, in their own respective ways, have tackled the coronavirus in song. Interestingly, “Ghost” is actually Justin Bieber’s musical response to the pandemic.Īnd being the person whom he is, he was touched by the fact that, in his own words, some loved ones became excommunicated from each other during said crisis.Īnd even beyond the virus itself, Justin is able to recognize that sometimes people just become physically separated for a myriad of reasons. Indeed as he further explained, perhaps two people may be part of each other’s lives “for a season”, and then they aren’t.
