Ghosts
Conor & The Wild Hunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ghosts, in the moonlight
Ghosts, in the shadows of my mind
Ghosts, in the Polaroids from younger times
All these visions feel just like
A dream where the seams have frayed
Ghosts, waiting for the break of dawn
Ghosts, still afraid of moving on
Ghosts, in the compass when I read my maps
And all these visions feel just like
A dream where the seams have frayed
Like an ocean spilling over in the wake
May I burn this book to ashes and fill the sky with sage
Must the stories fall to ruins before I turn the page
May I throw it in the fire with all the fear and shame
So translucent slates and windows are all that remain
All these visions feel just like a dream
Where the seams have frayed
Like an ocean spilling over in the wake
Is this a dream
Have all the seams frayed
Like an ocean spilling over in the wake
Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts
The song "Ghost" by Conor & Jay is a haunting and introspective track that explores the idea of ghosts, both literal and figurative. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of ghosts lurking in the dark of night, in the moonlight, and in the shadows of the mind. These ghosts take many different forms - they are present in old Polaroids from younger times, in the chains the singer is dragging from his past, and even in the compass he uses to guide his way through life.
Throughout the song, the singer struggles with the ghosts that haunt him, feeling trapped and unable to move on from his past. The visions of these ghosts feel like a dream where the seams have frayed, leaving him disoriented and unmoored. He longs to burn the book of his past to ashes and fill the sky with sage, to throw his fear and shame into the fire and start anew. But despite these desires, the ghosts remain, and the singer is left wondering if he is trapped in a dream where all the seams have frayed.
Overall, "Ghost" is a powerful exploration of the emotional weight of our pasts and the ghosts that haunt us. The lyrics are evocative and haunting, with a sense of desperation and longing that is difficult to shake. It's a beautiful and moving song that will resonate with anyone who has struggled with their past and the lingering ghosts that refuse to go away.

Ghosts, in the dark of night
Phantoms lurk unseen in the hours of darkness
Ghosts, in the moonlight
Specters revealed in the glow of the moon
Ghosts, in the shadows of my mind
Apparitions haunting the depths of my psyche
Ghosts, in the Polaroids from younger times
Echoes of memories captured in photographs
All these visions feel just like
A dream where the seams have frayed
These ghostly visions seem like a fading dream
Ghosts, waiting for the break of dawn
Spirits lingering until the light of day
Ghosts, still afraid of moving on
Phantoms hesitant to depart and move forward
Ghosts, in the chains I'm dragging from my past
Apparitions held by the burdens of my history
Ghosts, in the compass when I read my maps
Specters found in the guidance of my journey
And all these visions feel just like
A dream where the seams have frayed
Each ghostly image fades like a fraying dream
Like an ocean spilling over in the wake
Like a sea overflowing in its aftermath
May I burn this book to ashes and fill the sky with sage
I desire to destroy this tome and purify with smoke
Must the stories fall to ruins before I turn the page
Must I let these tales crumble before moving on
May I throw it in the fire with all the fear and shame
I wish to cast this into flames with my anguish and regret
So translucent slates and windows are all that remain
Leaving behind only translucent surfaces and openings
Ghosts, ghosts, ghosts
Repeating the haunting presence of these specters
