“The Haunting” — from Yema Electa’s EP When I Was Her
A dark, moody blend of EDM, techno, and hip-hop, “The Haunting” follows a woman tormented by the lingering presence of an ex-lover who has already moved on. Slow-burning production and intimate lyricism capture the feeling of being emotionally stuck—haunted by memories you can’t outrun.
Whether you’re here for the story, the vibe, or the sonic atmosphere, let the track pull you into its world.

[VERSE 1]
You are with me every day from the moment I awake,
’till I lay down this lie late at night.
So how can you be anywhere else but here
when I carry you so deep inside?
I know you're not here, but I feel you somehow
even though you are wrapped in her arms.
I'm not a fool. My mind knows you're gone,
but you're still trapped inside my heart.
[CHORUS]
Stupid heart. Torn asunder.
Stupid heart. No need to wonder.
Stupid heart. You came to plunder.
Stupid heart. Here comes the thunder.
[VERSE 2]
The shadow of your love darkens every day,
but I still can't let you go.
Though it's only just the memory of you,
I'm not ready to be alone.
[CHORUS]
Stupid heart. Torn asunder.
Stupid heart. No need to wonder.
Stupid heart. You came to plunder.
Stupid heart. Here comes the thunder.
[VERSE 3]
How can you be in two places at once
the heat of your touch is upon me
Am I going insane as I whisper your name
or does a piece of your soul still haunt me?
[BRIDGE]
So many times, so many years
Scorch the earth with all your tears
But you're far too brave to fear
The trappings of your stupid heart
[CHORUS]
Stupid heart.
Stupid heart.
Stupid heart.
Stupid heart.
