Teddy Hyde - Sex with a Ghost Lyrics

i thought maybe he was talking about an incubus (a sex demon). this kind of demon makes the person go crazy and stole some energy by having sex with them. maybe im getting crazy

The word Ghost probably means his past regrets and pain that ought to be dead , time heals all wounds and all that but for some reason they wont leave him alone and then "sex" something that shows intimacy on a different level so more or less sex with a ghost has a base meaning that hes gotten so intimate with his demons its like having sex with them.

I always thought it was about suicide and drug abuse. Hes tried many ways to kill himself, (shes a freak in the sheets) and when someone asks (play it cool) as to not reveal himself. Also inspiring the line (try to listen but her whispers make my ears hurt). Everyone telling him to stop is so much its become overwhelming. Hes having sex with a ghost meaning hes been in the situation so long and tried so many times its like hes having sex with it. idk, I tend to overlook things

This song is about Hyde's post traumatic experiences with his past abuser. It doesn't always have to be sex, but a situation, or "dance" the abuser put the victim through in order for them to remember this conflict. Read closely, "I'm having sex with a ghost, 'cause she knows I'm alone. She's a freak in the sheets, play it cool." This implies his abuser sends him through an post-traumatic rollercoaster without even being there. She's a ghost. The song also makes multiple references of him looking to drug abuse in order to cope with this experience. Every time he gets close to getting rid of her image (by shooting at her with a metaphorical rifle), it will never disappear. In conclusion, this song is about the post traumatic flashbacks that a victim has received from an abuser.

I think its about masturbation. its what i thought of immediately and that might be saying something about my thought process but yeah xd

another possibility is that he went crazy after his lovers death. lets refer to the lyrics “the only time i ever see her, is when shes behind me in the mirror.” hallucinations. that could be a sign of craziness. lets also refer to “I'm getting jiggy with a rifle I'll pull the trigger with my eyes closed Hoping to hit you somewhere vital” hallucinations and suicidal tendencies. also another big thing when someones going crazy. last but not least lets refer to the lyrics “When she gets playful with a steak knife I need a break, maybe I'll take five Shake it up and medicate, maybe I'll take five” medicating. these drugs may be prescribed or not. but regardless. there is a reason why hes medicating. all could be signs of declined mental health and him going crazy in some way

I personally think this song is about a past lover. a dead one.someone he lost. but he cant get over their death. and he cant move on. hence why hes trying to find pleasure in something inanimate in order to imagine its his passed lover. or maybe not even dead.

I think it’s about having a sexual relationship with someone that he’s trying to stop because he knows it’s not good for him but he can’t because he’s addicted. It’s like when you’re settling for friendship so you don’t loose the person entirely, instead it’s settling for sex so you don’t loose the person

I think that the song is about his dead lover and he hasn’t completely accepted that she has passed but he is also the one that killed her

I think this sonf is about how he is stick in an abusive relationship that he cant get out of, and hes stuck with the "ghost" of someone he used to love
