Despite My Deepest Fear are a five-piece Metalcore band from London, UK. Well established for intense live performance and heavy breakdowns, Despite My Deepest Fear are exponentially increasing both their song writing skills and fan base. The explosive 'This Dies With Us' captures both their raw, aggressive sound in Dead To The World, to their more melodic moments that can be found in Paris Licks It Up Good.
Although they never claimed to have re-invented the genre, they have taken the current standard of British Metalcore to a whole new level, and promise even more development and pace with their new yet-to-be-titled EP, containing new tracks such as Life In Purgatory and It's Just Not Fun Anymore, along with a re-recorded and produced version of Paris. Despite My Deepest Fear are a band to look out for throughout 2010 as they push North with their soon to be announced tours

Despite My Deepest Fear Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We are not hopeless, we are just broken
So come back from this nightmare you’re living
And I have seen it before, the reason why you walked out
And I’m led to believe that you’ve seen the worst in me
So save yourself
I’ve seen the lowest point of life
Everything that you have ever said
Makes me wonder was it worth it in the end
But they’re sealing the doors
Now I can’t come home, I can’t show them all
But they’re sealing the doors, I can’t show them all
Who we are meant to be
Let me love again
And I have seen it before, the reason why you walked out
And I’m led to believe that you’ve seen the worst of me
So save yourself
We’re all looking for love in the wrong places
Searching for the one who clearly isn’t there
When you lay in bed at night I hope you dream of me
You said you want it
You said you want it
Insecure and underrated
We are not hopeless, we are just broken
So come back from this nightmare you’re living
Let me love again
And I have seen it before, the reason why you walked out
And I’m led to believe that you’ve seen the worst of me
So save yourself
You said you wanted it all
You said you want it
You said you wanted it all.
The lyrics of Despite My Deepest Fear's song "Ghost" dive deep into themes of insecurity, brokenness, misunderstood intentions, and lost love. The opening lines of the song, "Insecure and underrated, we are not hopeless, we are just broken," lay the foundation of the whole song, addressing the feelings of inadequacy and insecurity that many people face. The singer acknowledges that the person they are addressing has walked out before and reveals an underlying belief that the addressee has seen the worst side of them, which brings to light the struggle to keep a relationship afloat once the negative sides of one's character are exposed.
The chorus, "But they’re sealing the doors, now I can’t come home, I can’t show them all, who we are meant to be, let me love again," reveals that the relationship reached a turning point and was cut off, and there is no hope of returning to what was once had. The bridge states, "We’re all looking for love in the wrong places, searching for the one who clearly isn’t there, when you lay in bed at night I hope you dream of me," indicating that the loss of the relationship is not entirely one-sided, and the other party has an equal longing for love.
In conclusion, the lyrics of "Ghost" are representative of the emotions felt when relationships are on the rocks, and the undeniable struggle to keep a relationship afloat despite the parts of our character that we hide. The song is a relatable one for many people who have had to face the realities of love and navigating relationships.
