Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The color of your eyes
I remember holding you
Fall through summer skies
You're everything that I've become, every word I say
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
White horses on a troubled sea
Up ahead a blackbird's wing
Your hair will come to mind
Every night I see your face when I have to pray
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
Keep your ghost away, keep your ghost away
I need a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
Just before the thunder roars
I sense you next to me
And as I move through nature
I know where you will be
So I must keep myself apart,here is where I'll stay
With a bell, book and candle to keep your ghost away
The lyrics above are from the song "Ghosts" by 1GiantLeap. The song is about a person's experience of missing someone who they loved deeply and still see them in everything around them, even though the person is no longer alive. The opening lines talk about the blue color of the sky and how it reminds the person of the color of the loved one's eyes. They remember holding them while falling through the summer skies. The loved one has become a part of the person's being, every word they say. The person wants to keep their memory away and desires to get rid of the ghost by any means possible, even if it requires a bell, book, and candle.
The chorus of the song highlights the need to keep the ghost of the loved one away. The person sees the loved one's smile flashing through time and their hair coming to mind every night when they pray. The person feels their presence just before the thunder roars and senses where they will be in nature. At this point, the person must take a step back and keep themselves apart, with a bell, book, and candle to keep their ghost away.
In conclusion, "Ghosts" by 1GiantLeap is a touching song about the difficulty of letting go of the love for a person who is no longer present in one's life. The lyrics are introspective and convey the complex emotion that the singer is feeling.
