Cover art for Halloween lyrics by Gaslight Anthem, The

in my opinion this song is about running into an ex for the first time who you still are in love with at a party.

the first verse is about the party and how he doesn't really want to go but is talking himself into it.

the second and 3rd verses is him at the party walking to the bar where he first pumps into his ex. and has a conversation with her. i must confess i didn't recognize you, i hate these things i always attend, i make my way through the ghosts in the room.( i am going to get a drink) who you supposed to be ,are you alright, are you dressed up to take my life ? is the conversation. dressed up like my love, you look like heaven tonight ,cause i worry is what he is thinking while they are talking

keep i coming is him ordering another drink

the 4th verse is him thinking that their conversation reminded him of when they where together and how he still misses her and is asking her if anyone hurt her they way she hurt him .

the last verse is him asking himself what girl is she the girl that hurt him or the girl who he is still in love with
