Carry your ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
without knowing what's in front of me
I used to be that lone boy once before
but now I see what's right for me
Conformity is calamity
and I'm constantly struggling with apathy
I'll be the light you see
I can't embrace defeat
my passion will never succumb to inaction
I need to pick myself up
I need to stay on track
While fighting fears that I may drift from this
I'm finding what it is, that will clench my fists
We will act as a light for you
in your darkest times
we will guide you through
"Weight Of The World" by Carry Your Ghost is an introspective song that talks about the struggles of one's personal journey towards fulfilling their purpose in life. The singer admits to being misguided many times and not knowing what lies ahead in their path. He reveals that he was once a lone boy, but he has now found what's right for him. The song goes on to discuss the negative effects of conformity and how the singer struggles with apathy. Despite all of this, he remains determined to be the change he wishes to see in the world. He believes that he can be the light that people see and that his passion will never succumb to inaction. The singer understands that he needs to pick himself up and remain on track to achieve his goals.
The song's central theme is self-discovery and self-belief. It encourages listeners not to give up in the face of uncertainty, adversity, and conformity. The lyrics seem to resonate with the band's name "Carry Your Ghost," which suggests the idea of carrying one's past mistakes, regrets, and experiences as a way to move forward towards a better future. The song's chorus encourages listeners always to act as a light for those going through their darkest times.

Too many times I have been misguided
I've been misled quite often in my life
without knowing what's in front of me
without knowing what's coming ahead of me
I used to be that lone boy once before
I used to be alone without guidance
but now I see what's right for me
but now I know what is right for me
Conformity is calamity
Following others blindly can lead to disaster
and I'm constantly struggling with apathy
and I'm constantly fighting with my lack of interest
With the world to change
With the world needing changes
I'll be the light you see
I'll be the hope that you see
I can't embrace defeat
I can't accept failure
my passion will never succumb to inaction
I'll never let my passion die down
I need to pick myself up
I need to motivate myself
I need to stay on track
I need to stay focused on my goal
While fighting fears that I may drift from this
As I struggle to keep my focus intact
I'm finding what it is, that will clench my fists
I'm discovering what holds importance in my life
We will act as a light for you
We will serve as an inspiration to you
in your darkest times
during your times of despair
we will guide you through
we'll help you navigate through
