Ghosts Again
Depeche Mode Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken meanings
Time is fleeting
See what it brings
Hellos, goodbyes, a thousand midnights
Lost in sleepless lullabies
Heaven's dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts my friends
We know we'll be ghosts again
Sunday's shining
Silver linings
Weightless hours
All my flowers
A place to hide the tears that you cried
Everybody says goodbye
Faith is sleeping
Lovers in the end
Whisper we'll be ghosts again
Heaven's dreaming
Thoughtless thoughts my friends
We know we'll be ghosts again
Faith is sleeping
Lovers in the end
Whisper we'll be ghosts again
The song "Ghosts Again" by Depeche Mode is a melancholic piece that touches on the fleeting nature of time and the inevitability of death. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, speaking of wasted feelings and broken meanings. This can be interpreted as a reference to the futility of human existence and how our emotions and efforts can often seem trivial in the grand scheme of things. The line "time is fleeting, see what it brings" reminds us to cherish the present moment and make the most of the time we have.
The chorus of the song speaks of the cyclical nature of life and death, with the line "we know we'll be ghosts again" suggesting that after death, we will return to the earth as spirits or ghosts. The second verse mentions "sleepless lullabies" and "lost midnights", evoking a sense of restlessness and longing. The lines "faith is sleeping, lovers in the end, whisper we'll be ghosts again" suggest that even in death, there is a sense of comfort in the idea that we will be reunited with the ones we love.
Overall, "Ghosts Again" is a poignant reflection on the transient nature of life and the inevitability of death. The lyrics encourage us to live in the present moment and cherish the time we have with loved ones.

@JESUSCHRIST-ONLYWAYTOHEAVEN
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD/GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE! HE LAID DOWN HIS LIFE & TOOK THE WRATH OF THE FATHER ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS! GOD IS JUST SO HE MUST PUNISH SIN & HE IS HOLY SO NO SIN CAN ENTER HIS KINGDOM OF HEAVEN. IF YOU ARE IN CHRIST ON JUDGEMENT DAY GOD WILL SEE YOU AS HIS PERFECT SON (SINLESS SINCE YOUR SINS ARE COVERED BY JESUS' OFFERING). YOU CAN ALSO CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT/SACRIFICE & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT WITH HIM & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS TO HIM. YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PERSON, I'M NOT A GOOD PERSON... ONLY GOD IS GOOD! WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/NO PRIEST/NO SAINT/NO ANCESTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, MARY DIDN'T, THE POPE DIDN'T EITHER, NO IDOLS OR FALSE gods DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO MUSICIAN OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO INFLUENCER OR YOUTUBE STAR DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO SCIENTIST OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR ACTOR DIED FOR YOUR SINS! STOP IDOLIZING & WORSHIPING THESE PEOPLE!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK VERY VERY SOON WITH JUDGEMENT (THESE ARE END TIMES)! PREPARE YOURSELVES, TURN FROM SIN & RUN TO JESUS! HE KNOWS YOUR PAIN & TROUBLES, HE WANTS TO HEAL & RESTORE YOU! TALK TO HIM LIKE A BEST FRIEND! ASK HIM TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU & HELP YOU TO BELIEVE IF YOU DOUBT! DON'T WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!
Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."-John 14:6
"But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven."-Matthew 10:33
“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23

@BrianMacpherson1970
Good man he was, the glue of the group, RIP Fletch 🙏
@dpchmdnn
Only Depeche Mode can make a dark song sound so uplifting. Fletch must be proud of Dave and Martin for this beautiful work. I'm a 34 year old man crying of happiness right now.
@rickybaillie4222
It builds up perfectly really enjoying this one
@sandra1995
let's cry together 😃 like honestly, they made me cry, I'm so excited to see them for first time in my life this year!
@inoderlulzer5163
Dude, 34 isn't that old.
@needsmoreclipping
I'm 51 and have been a fan since 1984. The only tears I'm crying are because of how incredibly boring this song is.
