Better Days
Ghost Society Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

better days ahead of dawn
can't abide by the laws
now look behind shades prolong
close your eyes and keep on going

better days ahead of dawn
words contort behind closed palms
a shape of sounds outlines the outcome

they can't decipher this code... keep on going

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ghost Society's "Better Days" seem to express optimism towards the future, but also an unwillingness to conform to societal norms. The line "better days ahead of dawn" suggests that although things may currently be difficult, there is hope for improvement. However, the following line "can't abide by the laws" could imply a refusal to adhere to societal rules and expectations. The idea of looking behind "shades prolong" and closing one's eyes to "keep on going" could suggest a sense of willful ignorance or distancing oneself from the present in order to focus on a better future.

The second verse continues this theme with the line "words contort behind closed palms," implying a sense of secrecy or a hidden meaning behind the lyrics. The phrase "a shape of sounds outlines the outcome" paints a picture of the power of language and sound to create change. The final line "they can't decipher this code... keep on going" suggests that the message is intended to be elusive or difficult to understand, possibly because it goes against the norm.
