“Have you been swimming?” he asks, ignoring her question.
#GHOST ON THE SHORE SONG MEANING SKIN#
His eyes have had a chance to grow used to the dark, and he can see that her skin is equally pale and her blonde hair is bedraggled and tangled, as though it’s recently gotten wet. It lands with a loud splash, tossing up foam and spreading ripples that are soon swallowed up by the waves.ĭylan whips around to find a girl in a white dress, sitting on a rock. In the end, he settles for hurling the largest rock he can hold as far into the lake as he can – letting out a loud cry as he does do. He’d fill his pockets with stones from the shore, wade in and surrender himself to the waiting embrace of the deep, dark waters.ĭylan shakes his head with a shuddering breath. Why can’t the others just accept him for who he is?įor a horrible, sickening moment, he imagines himself stepping into the cold water of the lake. On the water he can see the lights of huge freighters passing in the night – taking their cargo to places he has never been. The waves lap at his feet, easier to hear than see whilst his eyes are still unused to the gloom. Tarmac turns to grass, grass turns to sand and all of a sudden, Dylan finds himself standing on the lakeshore. He lets his feet lead him away from the Midsummer Ball and through the blackened streets, too upset to care where he is going. He can still taste the alcohol on his lips, its warmth on his tongue – the liquid courage that has led to this burning shame.Īll he had wanted to do was dance.
The wind bites at his face, whipping away the tears that have begun to fall unbidden down his cheeks. Her vicious words, and the cruel laughter of her friends echo around the inside of Dylan’s head as he stumbles out of the hall and into the cold, dark night.
Why would I want to dance with someone like you?
