Ghosts
Deadmau5 f/Rob Swire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been so long I've been out of my body with you
I feel alone feel at home feel like nothing is true
You take me to a place where my senses gave way
Turn it round shut it down what the people say
Climbing up coming down gonna give you some
Take my hand and let it come let it come let it

Take it back when she knows that you're doing it right
'Cause everybody else knows what they're taking tonight

But I just wanna play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight

It's been so far I've been walking the line on my own
Lift me up to the stars we are coming home
I know we had a chase but we're out of time
We have sold in the cold physical design
Set me free set me out on the run lift me up to the sun to the sun to the

When you're burning down when you're burning down
It's the way that you fake it I know it's too late

But I just want to play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight
I just want to take you down
We we're gonna bring you round





But I just want to play it right
We we're gonna get there tonight

Lyrics
It's been so long, I've been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
She took me to a place where my senses gave way
Turn it 'round, shut it down, what the people say
Climbing up, killing time, let 'em give you some
Take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it

Take it back when she knows that you're doing it right
'Cause everybody else knows what they're taking tonight

But I just wanna play it right
We are gonna get there tonight

It's been so far, I've been walking the line on my own
Lift me up to the stars, we are coming home
I only had a taste but we're out of time
We have sold in the cold, physical design
Set me free, set me out on the run
Lift me up to the sun, to the sun, to the

We are burning down, we are burning down
It's the way that you fake it, I know it's too late

But I just wanna play it right
We are gonna get there tonight

I just wanna take you down
We are gonna bring you 'round

I just wanna play it right
We are gonna get there tonight

I just wanna take you down
We are gonna bring you 'round

Lyrics 😊

It's been so long, I've been out of my body with you
I feel alone, feel at home, feel like nothing is true
You take me to a place where my senses gave-way,
Turn it round, shuttin' down, what the people say
Climbing up, coming down, gonna give you some,
Take my hand and let it come, let it come, let it

Take it back when she knows that your doing it right
Cause everybody else knows what their taking tonight

But I just wanna play it right,
We're gonna get there tonight

It's been so far I've been walking the line of my time
Wake me up to the stars we are coming home
I only had a chase but were out of time

We have sold in the cold, physical desires
Set me free, set me out on the run,
lift me up to the sun, to the sun, to the

When your burning down, when your burning down,
It's the way that you think that I know
It's too late

But I just want to play it right
We, were gonna get there tonight
I just want to take you down
We're gonna bring you round

But I just want to play it right
We, were gonna get there tonight

Deadmau5 has way better songs. He has improved way more since this song and strives to make something new.

2020 is the year this song returns

@normahmansoor2888

I kinda doubt it.
coming from a guy who used to bop to this, the "pizzaz" is just not there anymore :(
if we wanted to, we have to use a different way to get the song back to mainstream vision.
the song itself is just not that funky anymore
and not trying to be a hater, but the only time I can really bop to this today is when I'm bord out of my skull

@Latonx

@@normahmansoor2888 Really now? i discovered deadmou5' music only last month, but i've had all his stuff on repeat the entire way through, and this song is my absolute fave of all his work. Opinions differ mate :p

@normahmansoor2888

latonx jenkins of course you'd think that. you're still new, of course you still enjoy it
but really it's like a Boomer in 2053 listening to 21pilots for the first time going this is revolutionary

just come back next decade (2030) and tell me what you think about this song specifically
side tangent but if I were to saw your comment like a few years prior, I'd bet you I'd say
ikr this song is so epic, definitely needs a second coming
