August Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hit you when I'm sober
Shadow taking over
I'm tryna fill my soul with the juice
Sipping only social
Know I'm not alone
I think I see a ghost in the room
Hit you when I'm sober
I'm tryna fill my soul with the juice
Know I'm not alone
Sipping only social
Bae you not tripping
My shadow keep u company when I'm missing
Big for yo' britches
Hurting my feelings
Different nigga sitting in reflections
Why u never hit me?
You don't never hit me
Pay a nigga attention or a visit
Big for yo' britches
Hiding my feelings
Different nigga sitting in reflections
Soul in da room
Soul tie ain't make a nigga closer to you
My- my potion'll do
That job every time I'm pouring a deuce
I fall in a loop
Oh, God almighty, I'm closer to Bruce
Why, I'm folding?
Medusa hitting different but nigga scoping for Thoosa
I think I see a ghost in the room
Hit you when i'm sober
Shadow taking over (Now, who else on my mind?)
I'm tryna fill my soul with the juice
Sipping only social
Know i'm not alone (Now, who else on my mind?)
I think I see a ghost in the room
Hit you when i'm sober
Shadow taking over (Now, who else on my mind?)
I'm tryna fill my soul with the juice
Know i'm not alone
Sipping only social
Wanna to trade my bottle for a line of coke
Keep your eye out by the door
Getting so sick and tired of hearing her tell me
She gonna buy me back my soul
No vacation the antidote
When your love in California
Universal, had to go
See the fans in Orlando
The lyrics to August's song GHOSTS speak of a love that transcends the boundaries of mortality. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about a girl he fell in love with, stating that she would wear pearls to Sunday church mornings. However, tragedy struck when he found her dead on a Monday morning, tucked in their sheets. Years pass, and the singer forgets what it's like to love someone, but he starts to feel the presence of a ghost, giving him ice-cold kisses on his cheeks, bringing back the memories of the past.
The song speaks of the singer's desire to be with the ghost, the love that cannot come to fruition, and the bittersweet nature of this relationship. He reminisces about the summer nights they shared, the sheets they crocheted together, and the soft whispers that make him wish he was dead. He knows that the ghost is only searching for a body and hoping he would comply, but he still wishes she would be proud of him to finally say goodbye.
The song's lyrics conjure up an image of the beauty and tragedy of love, how it can transcend life and death, and how it can be both a blessing and a curse. The song speaks of the struggle of letting go of someone we love, even if they are gone, and the pain of holding onto a love that cannot be.
Line by Line Meaning
I fell in love with a girl
I developed romantic feelings for a woman
Sunday church mornings, she put on her pearls
On Sunday mornings at church, she dressed up by wearing her pearls
Come Monday morning, found her dead
However, on Monday morning, I discovered that she had passed away
Tucked in our sheets
She had died in our shared bed
Years passed, I slowly forgot
With time, I began to forget what being in love with her felt like
The feeling of loving someone in my thoughts
I no longer thought about her in a romantic way
But I've begun feeling ice cold kisses
Recently, I've started to experience cold sensations on my face that feel like kisses
On my cheeks
Specifically, these cold sensations occur on my face
I am in love with a ghost
I have come to realize that I am romantically attached to a spirit
And she's in love with me
Furthermore, it seems that this ghostly presence reciprocates my feelings
At night I am left with my mind
During the nighttime, I am alone with my thoughts
I reach for her hand, but it's cold and unkind
I try to touch the spirit's hand, but it feels cold and distant
Reminds me of summer nights
This situation brings to mind the warm summer nights when we used to be together
We two shared intertwined
Back then, we were in a romantic relationship
The sheets she adorns on her head
The ghostly presence is wearing sheets on her head
Look just like the ones we crocheted for our bed
These sheets are identical to the ones we had made for our shared bed
Her soft fatal whispers make me wish
She whispers to me in a gentle manner that makes me crave her presence
That I were dead
I feel like I want to die to be with her once more
And she's hanging by a thread
The ghostly presence is barely hanging onto this world
I know that you don't love me
I understand that this spirit does not truly love me
You're just searching for a body
Rather, she is searching for a physical form to inhabit
And you're hoping I'll comply
She is hoping that I will be the one to allow her to possess my body
Yes I know you do not love me
I acknowledge the fact that this spirit is not in love with me
But I wish you were proud of me
Despite this, I still yearn for her approval
To finally say goodbye
It is time for me to let go and say goodbye to this spirit's hold over me

Lyrics
We are the ghosts of the midway, the beasts of the alley
We are the living dead, living in your nightmares
Scraping ourselves from the earth
Living as though we are dirt
Staring like you've seen a ghost
The lowest of the low, with nowhere to go
Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet
Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets
Back from the dead, now we're groveling at your feet
Handcuffed for lying our heads as we're withering in the streets
Fighting for your attention, begging for your generosity
Looking up just to see you turn your cheek on me
You walk on by like I'm invisible (invisible)
All I want is to be seen as an equal
We fought your battles, and we built your homes
Sorry if I disturbed you
I just wish we could live like you do
Even in our most beautiful days it's dark
Just look at the world around you
There's a consequence for what we do
Pass judgment on me as you walk
Picture-perfect ain't my obsession
You can't sum up my life from a first impression
Learn your lesson
Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
Act like you know me, but do you even know yourself?
When you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same
I may have no-one else to blame, but listen to me
You and I, we were once the same

Dear god his face at 4:30 paired with the most perfect harmonies is enough to bring a grown man to tears..one of the most powerful music videos I've ever witnessed..

7 years later, this song/video still destroys me every time. Great work boys! This is heartwrenching, but is a masterpiece!
@Snake-filledChimp
I'm a city bus driver, and I see a lot of people that are down and out every workday. This song always reminds me to try to have humility and show grace to everyone, all the time.
Not a lot of songs have an impact like that. This song actually has made the world better, even if by just a little bit.
@gregkuzminski5457
Amen Brother
@jeffadams4590
This could happen to any of us. If you're lucky enough to have it, better take care of it and appreciate things. Have a great day š
@justingrissom1688
Been my favorite band well over a decade. I have never heard a song by them that was anything short of a masterpiece. Definitely never heard a band that has made this much consistently amazing music š¤š¤š¤
@zachwolf9135
August Burns Red always has one or two tracks that does this thing to me when they play
Stabs me right in the middle of the heart piercing my soul
I try to hold back the tears...
@AdamLZ
This is sick.
