Interpretation
Haunted is that out-of-control feeling of 'about to lose it, yet clawing to hold on.' The re-recording stacks the production thicker, making that breathless run from fear even clearer.
Every time I hear it I think it's about everything we never got to say goodbye to — a relationship, a stretch of time, a self. It isn't elegant, it's panicked, and panic is the honest part. Who loses something precious with any dignity?
