When we stop and take a look at our lives, our troubles, or our fears, we may start to feel like the ghost of ourselves as we begin to feel disconnected from the world. The weight of our fears lays on our shoulders, weighing us down as time goes on. We live day by day, and it starts to all feel the same. This can make us question what we can get from a routine that has only left us paralyzed to the hopes and dreams we used to strive for no matter the obstacles that came our way. How did we get to this point? The point where we allowed ourselves to be haunted by the ghost that wants more for us as we struggle to rise from the weight that has kept us down for so long. Lauren Presley takes us through the darkness that we have faced for far too long as we try and look for the light we have been missing in our lives.
'Ghost' will take us on a thrilling ride as it takes unexpected twists and turns. A dark, dissonant tone begins as we are taken to a mystical atmosphere. Lauren Presley's sultry voice compliments the haunting melody of the song beautifully as it captures our attention. Lauren takes us through the fears and struggles that have been weighing her down as she fights to get through the pain of it all. Despite her efforts, it all feels like an unfair exchange. She's working hard to keep living what feels like the same day over and over again, but what's given in return is not enough to let her be happy. The chorus dives into an emotional realization of how these disappointments have affected her. Then, an electric twist takes over as she knows she's ready to do whatever it takes to get better. We are taken back to the emotional chorus that hits us hard as we hear about the pain from the struggles we can all relate to. The bridge reflects a heartbeat, and it quickens as the electric twist and insanity start to take control. The final chorus is powerful and presents the strong emotions Lauren is ready to put on blast as she's done letting it conquer over her life. Lauren Presley's 'Ghost' is a haunting yet commanding song that will inspire us to come face to face with the fears that have been weighing us down.
