Lyrics[edit]
I Didn't Mean to Haunt You is a concept album, similar to his previous two albums Voice Memos and From Me to You, and follows the story of a deceased muse, presumably a fictionalized version of Quadeca, experiencing limbo as a ghost after committing suicide. Later on the muse attempts to bring a family member into limbo with him by leaving the gas stove on.
