halloween
You were nowhere to be seen
and like the leaves that left their trees
you are nowhere without me
Tonight I'll wear
and I'm coming and I will find you
I will find you
I will find
Tonight I'll wear the face of death
and I'm coming and I will find
So long, all hallowes eve.
Still you're nowhere to be seen
like a knife stabbed in my guts
...
Tonight I'll wear the face of death
and im coming and I will find you
and when I do
I will haunt you and when i do
I will haunt
Like a ghost straight through your
I'm coming and I will haunt
you
I will haunt
Like a ghost straight through your.
I'm coming and I will haunt
I'm coming and I will find you
The song "Ghosts" by the band Bloody Knees is a hauntingly beautiful ode to lost love and the desperate search to find it again. The opening lines "It's getting late, Halloween" set the eerie tone and the imagery of the leaves falling off the trees symbolizing lost love is powerful. The opening lines are about being left behind and feeling abandoned, a feeling that is amplified on Halloween when ghosts are believed to roam the earth. The singer is clearly desperate to find their lost love, and they're willing to do whatever it takes to find them.
The singer then talks about wearing the "face of death" which could represent the pain and graveness of lost love, or Halloween mask. The singer is coming to find their lost love and won't rest until they do. They talk about haunting their lost love like a ghost and coming straight through them. This image is incredibly strong and adds to the overall eerie and ominous atmosphere of the song.
This song ultimately is about a desperate search for love, even when it is lost. The use of the Halloween imagery and ghost metaphors add to the feeling of being lost and haunted, which makes for a very powerful and beautiful song.

Natives are resilient, we’re still standing but we don’t stand together. I’m running for President of the United States of America because they need a real Chief in the White House. My goals to end hate and segregation with love from God our creator. I am Native American and proud to be White. I am 50/50 and 100% for restoring God back into our country.
I love Columbus ❤️ I’m proud to be Native American, we’re all natives to North America now. We are all
Americans, I represent 99% of Americans because I am going up against the 1%ers WHO are the dictators that control us.
We need to stand together, to build a better future for our children. I am a visionary and I see the next 500 years, starting with my daughter. I am spiritually protected in this world and in the real world, I no longer conform to this world but I am here to transform it by renewing minds. I am a shape shifter, I am here to shape and shift new mindsets with positivity in love for one another. ❤️
Let’s look forward and STOP looking back 500 years, Native Americans are no longer victims. We need to take accountability for today!
In order to change our past
Start today, by tomorrow
Today becomes our new past.
- GLD, Jr.
Martin Luther King Jr. - had a dream
I am here to fulfill it ❤️
I’m going to start my own tribe and I’ll be able to federally recognize 334 million Americans as my own, Canadians and Mexicans too. That’s closer to 600 million. We are all natives to North America. God bless America 🇺🇸
I am going to flip government upside down because I lead from the bottom. 👻
I am the Holy Ghost 👻

There's a forgotten tragedy took place many decades after the wounded knee massacre. Probably around the decade before or during the dust bowl area of the 1930s. On the crow creek sioux Indian reservation SD northwest of the town stephan. A large encampment of twenty or thirty hunkpati Dakota sioux people were living on Cheney rush, a hilly prairie land country along the Missouri River. When a large party of white civilians came with guns and rifles to blame the Dakota sioux Indian for horse thievery. They started to kill everyone there and buried the dead bodies on top of a hill. Some Dakota sioux elders were young children at the time of the tragedy unfolded there. They saw an witness the tragedy unfolded there will hiding a safe distance away. Many years later they told the story of the tragedy at the Cheney rush massacre. It's also the most huanted place on the reservation. There's no memorial site there because of the forgotten Dakota sioux tragedy at the Cheney rush massacre.

You should do an episode on St Clairs defeat the worst defeat in American history. Hardly anyone knows about it yet it was a huge event. The 'history guy' does an awesome job of it

I think it should've been noted that the masacre at wounded knee was the cold blooded murder of mostly unarmed old men women & children.

I just learned of this. I'm 37. I'm not impressed with the way we were taught in school. I wish they would have taught us what really happened and how cruel they really were 😞
