| What is The Song Ghost Of Chicago About |
Love Lost in the Windy City
QuickTip: Save your favorite part of this post.
Despite the spooky title, "Ghost of Chicago" is not a ghost story (although, a haunting melody it certainly is). This song is a full-fledged exploration of lost love. The narrator is haunted, but not by a spectral presence, rather by the lingering memories of a past relationship. Everywhere he goes, he's reminded of his ex – on the bus, walking down the street, even (presumably) while attempting to fold his laundry.
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Catchy Chorus, Cryptic Lyrics
The song's charm lies in its infectious melody and slightly head-scratching lyrics. Lines like "Never looking for her 'til I found her, now I find her everywhere" paint a picture of a love that snuck up unexpectedly, leaving the narrator pining for what's lost. Is the ghost a metaphor for the ex herself, or a symbol of the narrator's lingering feelings? That, my friend, is up to your interpretation.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
