For those that don't know- Ghosting: the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication. Usually involves one worrying about the other who ghosted, thinking they did something wrong.

So go tell the ones that you move that you do love them, you never know what could happen tommorow. Everything just go down so fast. This song really makes me think of him now.

I’ve always been really quiet and I’m not the best at responding to texts, which causes me to just blend into the background most of the time, even in my small girl scout troop. But the last time I went to a meeting, I was included, even by the girl who I thought didn’t like me. And tomorrow I’m hanging out with a few friends, which I’m pretty sure is the first time in a few years someone’s actually invited me to something. It feels weird, like an audience member being pulled on stage. Like I’m not supposed to be there if someone talks to me. I hope I get used to it and maybe I’ll be able to talk to my friends more!

[@paimon3386]

U the main character

[@urpaldoritit6748]

for everyone wondering what the term “ghosting” means, this is about as close as i got in my own words: so it’s basically when you disappear on social media, irl, etc from a person, or just in general to kinda tell them that whatever’s between you two (relationship, friendship, etc) is over or on hold, without having to actually tell them. it usually happens due to self doubt or fear that the person doesn’t like you and it’s often a whole “leave them before they can leave me” situation. Occasionally it’s also an escape when everything just gets too big and overwhelming for you to deal with that person and you don’t know how to tell them so you just disappear. as someone who’s faced both ends of the situation, sometimes it’s for the best. you never want to overwhelm someone and it obviously can have terrible psychological effects with some receivers and occasionally makes them more so to say “clingy” when it you get to become close with someone else. By all means ghosting someone is absolutely not the greatest way to deal with your issues but respect someone if it seems to be too much for them. this shits getting kinda rambley and i think i just self projected for half of that so that’s neat but yea, handle situations with common sense,, uuh yup

I feel like a dick, I have a ‘friend’ who I’ve known since kindergarten, and I tried to tell her I don’t wanna be friends with her and she started yelling ( I have problems with that due to parents and her). She makes fun of me or yells/gets mad at me randomly when I just say hi, she destroyed something me and my other friend made because I like different things and then excluded me from things because of it too. She also tore me from two other friend groups and yelled at me for hanging with them. I can’t move because My family is very low on money but she’s in the same school as I am and lives a street away from me. I tried ghosting her but she yelled at me again. I’m still ‘friends’ with her and I hate her, but at same time since I’ve known her for so long she’s the only one I feel actually comfortable speaking confidently around irl but I always regret it because she makes fun of me. I still feel like she’s a good person even though she isn’t to me and it makes me feel bad for not wanting to be friends with her. I now ghost people when I want to get away from them or accidentally say something I shouldn’t, even if it was minor thing. Then I am afraid to contact them because I don’t want them to get yell at me because I wasn’t speaking to them, which causes me to ghost them longer and not tell them because ghosting delays the anger I apologize for ranting

[@alexschaffer1500]

It’s best to communicate probably, and just tell someone why you don’t wanna talk to them anymore. It’s fine if a person is too much for someone, but just say that. Or else that person is constantly gonna be thinking about what they might’ve done wrong, all cause you couldn’t communicate correctly. Which then turns them into that kind of person as well. It becomes a cycle. The only time I’d understand ghosting is if someone was being a total jerk or something. Also, the receivers reaction is on them. Just cause there’s a chance they could react a certain way, doesn’t mean you still don’t say anything at all. If they do become clingy, just communicate that you don’t like that. If they don’t stop, then cut them off. You can’t not communicate with someone just cause you’re afraid of what the receiver might say or do. That’s not fair to them.

It stresses me out and once I found out that this was how my friendship was towards them, I stopped talking to them. About a week later, I found this song and I'm addicted.

I haven't really talked to them in years, just followed while being trapped in my own dark thoughts and worries. I never had the will or courage to keep a good relationship, but, this song gives me hope. Currently I am trying to be more positive about my body, go to therapy, deal with the constant depressing thoughts, and make a connection with the people I want to trust. This song is so calming and I love it!

[@etps4444]

[@Koushibare]

My personal interpretation of this song: I have always been a lonely person who has loved the people around me from the bottom of my heart. I remember those days when I laughed and played with those people, and that's why, when those people don't need me, I'll go. Sometimes I feel that I can be more kind and sweet for that person to be happy with me, but you just have to accept that sometimes they don't need you, that they will grow up. But there will be our ghosts, one in the other, and we will remember each other Pd: I'm going to be at the concert in Madrid in December and I'm very excited, I hope this song plays, it's my favorite song //Edit// The show was amazing, thanks for everything

Nobody's gonna read this anyway, but I kinda wanna immortalize my story with mother mother here anyways. This song was shown to me by a friend almost 5 years ago. He said this song was his favorite. I quite liked it also, and not long after I ended up quite liking him also. We just sorta fell in love. While he was already aware of his sexuality and stuff, I hadn't considered that I might be gay until then. We didn't date for a long time, us both being to insecure and immature to be in a relationship at that point, but on the day we had our first kiss, I put on this song and we layed on my bed listening to the entirety in silence. I had liked the song before, but that's when it's magic truly hit me and even after we had broken up, I continued to listen to it. Since I liked the song so much, I eventually figured, I should give some more songs of mother mother a listen. I played the entire o my

THE BEST SONG EVEEEEEER 🗣️🔥‼️ (I still remember when I heard it for the first time, It's been 2 years)

[@Nirufion1975]

Imagine this. You're sitting in your room as your parents are screaming in the kitchen about who knows. You decide to leave, so you run. You run through the kitchen and out the back door and into the woods behind your house. Everything feels as if it's in slow motion. You're running as fast as you can with no destination in front of you. The cold air is nipping at your fingers, your nose, your hair blowing behind you is the cold autumn wind. As you get deeper in the wooded area, tree branches start hitting your face, and bare arms, leaving cuts and abrasions. But you'd not care. You're just so tired of everything. You finally get to the end of the woods and you come to a cliff that has a large body of water at the bottom. You turn around because you hear your parents behind you, screaming for you to stop and asking you what you're doing. You turn back to cliff briefly before facing your family. And falling backwards off the cliff. Everything again feels as if it's in slow motion. You fall slowly into the ice cold water as everything goes dark. As you make contact with the bottom if the water, you jolt awake. It must have been a dream.

[@grumpyyana7251]

This song makes me want to tell the writer/other people who relate that they are not haunting anyone and then give them a hug, I know the feeling in this song really well and I just want things to get better for anyone that might feels that way. I support you all and believe in you all.

[@MysteriousArtist-uh9yd]

Story/Vent time My 7th grade year i was a ghost. A ghost of a girl walking down the halls her skin as pale as the moon her hair frizzy and messy. I was the ghost of the school. My friends were liars and fakes, I was casted out. I was not a happy person, I was borderline suicidal, it wasn't till the end of the year i was happy. When 8th grade came around i got the color back in my skin, due to no longer starving myself and actually sleeping at night. I was happy again, I was not the ghost I was the happy girl singing and playing the kazoo down the hallway. Now, I've lost a lot of those friends i've dipped back into a unstable state of either over joy or deep emptiness. I guess i am the ghost of the halls.

[@london646]

The more literal idea of a ghost coming to an understanding with someone and leaving their sheet folded neatly to show them that they won't hurt them anymore is gorgeous to me

[@jacobschlehuber7142]

I feel like this song is from the perspective of a person feeling unappreciated by a partner who never considers them, is always selfish and forgets that their partner is a person. Sometimes that distant feeling between you and the person you live with is very real and so unexplainable, and I think this character has had enough and decides to leave.

[@astro_numi4563]

Last night the lyrics got stuck in my head, especially after reading the lyrics and the people's takes about the song in reddit. Honestly it can mean anything but for me this is how it goes: The song is obviously the ghost narrating their loved one like in 3rd person view, what they do everyday, what happens to their loved one everyday. The ghost watches their loved one go through all of that, they reminisce about their past, they explain what are they planning to do, explaining that they don't need them and they should move on. They still hesitate to leave, because if you think about it...they can't they want to stay they want to stay beside their loved one But they know its impossible, they can't even see them So they finally decide to leave, saying once again that they don't need them because they can and should move on from them. The ghost finally faded away, resting in peace , knowing that their loved one will hopefully can live their life.

[@ericpurcell7249]

This song to me is about drug addiction and not needing to be dependent on anyone. The speaker of the song is a 'ghost' but also decides to stop being a ghost "I pulled the old white sheets from my head". However, it's not enough for their SO, and they part ways. The SO "Don't need tricks, don't need treats" leaves and the speaker is left alone, but now sober. Halloween is a time when everyone wears masks and IMO is a metaphor for a drug addict who is 'high'. Very sad but powerful. My favourite song right now.

[@yohoitsmomo3134]

Colin Quentin that's a really interesting way to think of this song .o. ^^ that is a really good way to put this song. I always thought ( in my personal opinion) it was about growing up and feeling alone and depressed . like leaving your parents house and having reality crush you to feeling lonely. to the point where you want back your childhood back to the point your begging. that or feeling left out and alone even though you have friends and family. and feeling like your invisible to the point where no one notices you. ^^ your idea though is really cool. and this song is just so pretty and relatable no matter how you see the song.
