Ghosts
Ankor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to hear the sound of my broken heart
Ain't it fun?
You heal with fire, I'm filled with powder
As flames revive, burning what's left of us
I try to breathe, but it's killing me
No more chasing dreams now it's over
Slipped through my fingers
As the ashes of my will and good intentions
Staring at my feet, the world is on fire
Memories of ghosts that were never alive
Being alone is the only way of feeling ya
I put my head under the wáter
I want to hear the sound of my broken heart
Ain't it fun?
You heal with fire, I'm filled with powder
As flames revive, burning what's left of us
I try to breathe, but it's killing me
Diving in a hole, there's no comeback
Gravity has put things on the right track
An eye for an eye
That's what we get for burning all we had
Ashes to ashes we all fall apart
Spread your arms
I dare you to fly
Getting closer to the ground
Does it feel better to be in the light?
Give up the fight!
I put my head under the water
I want to hear the sound of my broken heart
Ain't it fun?
You heal with fire, I'm filled with powder
As flames revive, burning what's left of us
I try to breathe, but it's killing me
I'm becoming fire
Dragging us to warm dust
All that's left in this world
Is me and all my ghosts
The song "Ghosts" by Ankor is a dark and introspective piece that portrays a person's struggle with heartbreak and the aftermath of what once was. The opening lines mention putting the head under the water to listen to the sound of the broken heart, showing the emotional pain that the person is going through. The next set of lines describes the contrasting ways in which the two people involved are healing- one with fire while the other is filled with powder.
The song goes on to express the disappointment and confusion caused by the failed relationship, wondering about the existence of happy endings and questioning if everything that happened was even real at all. The singer is left alone with memories of ghosts that were never truly alive, and the chorus is repeated multiple times to remind the listener of the pain and anguish being felt. As the song progresses, the lyrics become more metaphorical, with lines like "diving in a hole, there's no comeback" and "I'm becoming fire, dragging us to warm dust."
Overall, "Ghosts" is a powerful track that delves into the depths of heartbreak and loss. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the conflicting emotions and mental battles that come with the end of a relationship.

I put my head under the water
I'm trying to drown out the noise of the pain in my heart

I want to understand the depth of my own pain
Ain't it fun?
Isn't it ironic how emotional pain can feel good somehow?
You heal with fire, I'm filled with powder
You can heal your pain with passion, but I'm overwhelmed by it

I try to breathe, but it's killing me
I'm suffocating in my emotional pain, and trying to escape it is only making it worse
No more chasing dreams now it's over
I'm no longer pursuing my dreams because they've been shattered into pieces
Where's my happy ending? Was it all real?
I'm questioning whether any of my hopes and dreams were ever truly attainable
Slipped through my fingers
My dreams and aspirations were taken away from me too easily
As the ashes of my will and good intentions
My motivation to succeed and good intentions have been reduced to rubble
Staring at my feet, the world is on fire
I'm lost in my own thoughts, feeling trapped as if the world is burning down around me
Memories of ghosts that were never alive
I can only remember what could have been, what never actually existed
Being alone is the only way of feeling ya
The only way I can make myself feel better is by being alone with my own thoughts and feelings
Diving in a hole, there's no comeback
I feel like I've dug myself too deep of a hole and there's no way to come back from it
Gravity has put things on the right track
I'm realizing that the natural course of things may be leading me somewhere positive
An eye for an eye
The universe has a way of balancing the scales
That's what we get for burning all we had
We deserve the pain we're feeling because we have destroyed everything we had
Ashes to ashes we all fall apart
We all will fall apart eventually, and the remnants of our destruction will eventually disappear
Spread your arms, I dare you to fly
I'm daring myself to take a leap of faith and keep moving forward despite the pain
Getting closer to the ground, does it feel better to be in the light?
As I get closer to the end, I'm wondering if it will be better in the end, if there's light at the end of the tunnel
Give up the fight!
I'm telling myself to stop struggling and surrender to the pain
I'm becoming fire, dragging us to warm dust
I'm transforming into something new and powerful, dragging others along with me into what's left of us
All that's left in this world is me and all my ghosts
All that's left is me, alone with my regrets and ghosts of what could have been
