Ghost

The song 'Ghost' by Confetti delves into the complexities of modern relationships and the ease with which people can disappear from each other's lives. The artist uses the metaphor of being a 'ghost' to describe a situation where someone becomes elusive and inaccessible, especially after a conflict or when the relationship demands more emotional involvement than they are willing to give. The lyrics suggest a struggle with commitment and the desire for attention, yet an inability to handle the depth of a genuine connection.

In the song, Confetti expresses regret and acknowledges the convenience of being non-committal. The reference to returning something 'like IKEA' humorously illustrates the idea of regretting a decision and wanting to undo it without any complications. The artist admits to not being a mind reader and needing attention, but also to the difficulty of dealing with deeper emotions. The repeated 'la, la, la' can be interpreted as a way to avoid serious conversation or confrontation, further emphasizing the ghosting behavior.

The song also touches on the theme of accountability in relationships. Confetti mentions being 'shady' and acknowledges the other person's feelings of being wronged. The line 'I don't get reception' metaphorically suggests an intentional avoidance of communication, while 'I got the message' indicates an understanding of the situation but a choice to remain distant. The song ends with a resigned acceptance that the other person may never understand why the artist chooses to vanish, reinforcing the ghost metaphor.
